i use mah arms. when you have your hand on your forehead. then you push you head down giving resistance with your hands. then push up with your hands and resisting with your neck. then you you hands on the back of your head do the same thing. resist with neck push with hands then push with neck resist with hands. and then side to side.

I don't do any direct neck training and my neck has thickened up quite a bit from before I started training. I guess mine seems to grow with indirect work from other lifts just fine. I do, however, remember Mudge saying in another thread about the same topic that some people need direct neck training to thicken it.

I have a head strap, I dont like them personally but at least it does provide a way to use weight.
