In
further
proof
of
the
value
of
the
exercises
described
in
this
work
as
a
means
of
building
unusual
vital
vigor,
note
the
remarkable
stamina
and
virility
of
men
possessing
an
unusual
development
of
the
neck.
Where
the
neck
is
broad
and
well
filled
out
at
the
back,
you
can
depend
absolutely
upon
the
possession
of
great
vital
vigor.
It
is
quite
plain,
therefore,
that
by
merely
adopting
some
method
of
developing
this
part
of
the
spine
you
will
have
accomplished
a
great
deal
towards
obtaining
a
high
degree
of
vital
stamina.
Some
of
the
strongest
men
in
the
world
can
be
found
among
professional
wrestlers.
Many
of
those
following
this
profession
retain
their
athletic
ability
a
great
many
years
beyond
the
athletic
life
of
men
in
other
branches
of
sport.
In
fact,
champion
wrestlers
sometimes
retain
their
championship
honors
for
a
score
of
years
beyond
the
age
at
which
champion
boxers
and
runners
retire.
It
is
a
well
known
fact
that
wrestling
requires
extraordinary
strength
of
the
upper
spine.
Some
of
the
most
strenuous
wrestling
holds
use
the
muscles
of
the
upper
back
and
neck
in
a
very
vigorous
and
violent
manner.
Consequently
wrestlers
are
noted
for
what
are
often
termed
bull
necks,
thus
plainly
indicating
the
exceptional
degree
of
vital
vigor
which
they
possess.
Accordingly
it
is
well
to
remember
in
connection
with
these
exercises
that
many
movements
which
assist
in
the
development
of
the
neck
muscles
also
serve
to
stimulate
the
activities
of
the
thyroid
gland.
You
cannot
go
through
the
process
of
training
for
a
wrestling
match
without
stimulating
this
organ
to
an
exceptional
degree.
Therefore,
in
following
the
suggestions
which
are
given
in
this
chapter,
you
are
securing
the
full
benefit
of
a
vitality-stimulating
process
that
ordinarily
can
be
obtained
only
by
going
through
a
prolonged
course
of
wrestling.
There
is
no
necessity
for
you
to
develop
a
"bull
neck,"
but
you
should
make
the
most
strenuous
efforts
to
acquire
a
sufficient
development
of
the
back
of
the
neck
to
give
it
an
arched
appearance.
The
more
nearly
you
can
approximate
a
development
of
this
character,
the
more
vital
will
you
become.
And
along
with
this
superior
power
will
come
a
similar
improvement
in
every
other
capacity,
mental
as
well
as
physical.
