It's so critical.
The neck is the upper spine.
And also nowadays, everyone's hunched over in the C-shaped position because we're texting all the time and we're sitting too much.
But Jeff Cavalier has a great video on how to properly train the neck using a plate in the gym wrapped in a towel.
How do you do this with the mouth closed, nasal breathing, tongue on the roof of the mouth?
There are a lot of things you can do wrong.
So neck training, I think, has to be approached correctly.
And bridges, according to Jeff, are probably not the best thing because you can slip a disc and it happens in a moment.
I think neck training is vital.
I think women shy away from neck training because they don't want a larger neck.
And so I haven't quite figured out the solution yet.

And I'm not, again, I'm not a trainer.
Yeah, you have a properly sized and shaped neck.

To me, what you describe for glutes and what you're describing now for essentially any body part,
There's a common theme here, which is that short periods of let's say four to six weeks of prioritization, training with muscle three times a week, different movements, perhaps even different rep ranges.
And this is the key thing that I'm taking away from what you said.
And then throttling back on the volume for other muscle groups, not panicking that you're going to lose all your development in these other muscle groups is really what allows you to bring everything up to the more or less same level.
And yet I also agree with the last sentence you said.
