Dear Scott,

I have been working out for almost a year. I have gained about 28lbs of weight overall. My diet approach has kept my gains lean, however, sitting at around 180lbs now, my neck has a noticeably higher % of fat than any other part of my body. I don't want to cut in my diet as the rest of my body is sitting at a good body fat % and is ready for bulking, but then I also understand I can't spot reduce fat around my neck. Are there any tweaks or suggestions you have for me to try and fix and cut down on the fat surrounding my neck. Genetically I do have a rounded face and I accept this doesn't help the aesthetic either. 

Regards, Archie

Hey @archied02. You kind of answered your own question.. like you say, you can't spot reduce fat.. so there's really no control over it. You could start doing some neck training, but at the end of the day that will build muscle and won't necessarilly give you a smaller neck.. it might make it look better than just a fat neck though, if you know what I mean? Different people carry fat more in different areas.. and to really reduce it you'd probably have to start cutting, and even then there's no guarentee fat would go from your neck first. I'll link a video below for neck training if you want to try that.
