How and when do you work on your neck? Do you do it at gym within your regular workouts or separately?

I used to do it, want to do it again, I completely lost the habit

Squat might be close to 210kg now, I'd like to pr this platz squat at 140kg for 10 then switch back to normal squats for a couple weeks

I sometimes do it in the gym. Prefer to do it at home.
Was not training it for some time. Now do it 1x-2x week.

Usually do something like this:

But if you just want a healthy neck.
Probably the best thing you can do is to lay on your back and just lift your head looking at your feet.
Keep it like that until you cannot anymore.
Do a few sets of that.

I learned it from my grappling coach.

No neck bridges or anything similar to that.
I think that genuinely hurts your neck long-term.

DONE.

Went at a different time so that is a fuck up.
But the workout itself was awesome.

1 DB OHP 1. 3-4x8-12 +
2 EZ curls 3-4x6-12
3 Neutral-ups 3-4x4-8 +
4 Hyperextensions 2. 3-4x8-12
5 Leg extensions 2. 4. 3-4x10-15 +
6 Standing calf raises 1. 3x12-15
7 Cable flies 3-4x12-15

Also, my blood pressure is pretty high. Realized that while giving my plasma.
So I will incorporate more cardio with low impact to address this.
+ cut out salt from my water
+ drink more water (was told I am dehydrated quite a lot)
+ figure out some exact cardio protocol and stick to it
probably this one https://peterattiamd.com/exercising-for-longevity-peter-on-zone-2-and-zone-5-training/
+ buy blood pressure monitor

Besides that I don't smoke. Almost no alcohol. No caffeine.
