LOL never knew there are such a thing as neck exercise...
I guess if you bulk up, it will be as a whole right? Cos ive never seen buffed people having a small neck..

How many reps should I be doing of each exercise each day, cuz I heard that if you do too much, you can injure your neck.

Push your head into your hands in the direction of the movement(with your next muscles) and try and resist anymovement by holding your hands against your head and pushing toward your head(i dont know if this makes any sense but the picture explains it better)
Isometric Front- 3 reps hold for 30 seconds
Isometric back-3 reps hold for 30 seconds
Isometric left-3 reps hold for 30 seconds
Isometric right-3 reps hold for 30 seconds

hold for longer as your neck traingth develops

Did you see that guy with the 10 pounder on his face.

I have never worked my neck.....but I have heard football players tell me it builds quickly.

Lying Face-Up Place Neck and the Standing Head Harness Neck Resistance are the best ones!
I use these exercises to prevent the breath cut of the ju-jitsu neck locks!
They helped a lot in my trainings, now i can hold a strong guy for about 2 minuts! A lot of enough time to escape the lock!

The first times you should use a 10 plate! Cuz' you'll have to get used to it, otherwise you may injury yourself seriously!
But as DEF friends say, it builds quickly! builds up in 1/2 months! Depending how often you train, of course...

Works as you do with other muscle...
Start by 14 rep if you want! 10 is fine! Above 8 with lots of weights you may injure in the cervical!

in the Lying Face-Up Place Neck Resistance you should place the plate exactly where it is in the 2nd picture of that exercise of the page the Chris gav to you! The hole of the pate should be paced exactly in the center of your forehead!

Yeah, when I was up at MSU for a football camp they had like 3-4 machines for neck isolation.

Fold up a hand towell, and put it against the wall. Then lean against the wall, with your head on the towell, and roll side to side. Use you arms for support, untill your strong enough to support yourself by your neck alone. After that gets to easy, then migrate to the floor. First using your arms as support, and then on from there.
