What exercise is best to increase muscle strength in the neck and shoulder areas. I work out at home and just started my weight collection of which I have about 250lbs and a bench bar, curl bar and two smaller curl bars.

The best exercises for the shoulders, neck, and trapezius (the muscles between your neck and shoulders) muscles are Military Presses, Barbell Shrugs and an exercise called the 4-Way Manual Neck. You should go to the Fitness Info button at the top right hand side of our home page to find these exercises and to see a video of how to do them!
