A member asked:

Will squats make your neck stronger?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Squat.: When engaged in proper posture for a squat, with the lower back arched and head facing forward, the neck muscles will be engaged as stabilizing muscles. But a squat is mainly for quadriceps strength, not for the neck.
