When Joe Rogan recently sat down with Mark Zuckerberg on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast, the conversation took an intriguing turn into Mark’s newfound passion: Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) and combat sports. For a tech mogul often associated with the digital realm, stepping onto the mats has been transformative. It’s changed his physical appearance, boosted his confidence, and even improved his relationships.

But there’s one aspect of Mark’s training that caught Joe’s eye—and it could change how you think about neck strength.

 

"Your Neck's Bigger!"—Joe Rogan on Mark’s Physical Transformation

“You look different,” Joe said to Mark early in the episode. “You look thicker…you look like a jiu-jitsu guy now. I saw your neck, and I’m like, his neck’s bigger. Are you using Iron Neck?”

Mark’s response? A confident, “I do like Iron Neck.”

For Mark, neck strength isn’t just about aesthetics; it’s a cornerstone of his training philosophy. As he explained, “When I started training not just Jiu Jitsu, but striking, I was like, alright, I want to find a way to do this where I don’t…hurt my brain. The number one thing you need to do is…have a strong neck.”

 

Why Neck Strength Matters in Combat Sports

Joe Rogan, a lifelong martial artist, couldn’t agree more. “A strong neck is great for Jiu Jitsu,” Joe said, “because it’s a weapon…for defending, overall stability, and even in positions like head and arm chokes.”

He went on to highlight legends like Mike Tyson, whose famously strong neck contributed to his dominance in the ring. But it’s not just for fighters. Joe pointed out that neck strength plays a crucial role in injury prevention and overall health—whether you’re grappling, striking, or just living an active life.

 

Mark Zuckerberg’s Balanced Approach to Training

Mark shared how combat sports have reshaped his mindset and his routine. Training every morning, he focuses on both striking and grappling while integrating tools like the Iron Neck to stay injury-free.

“When I tore my ACL,” Mark recalled, “I sat down with Priscilla [his wife], expecting her to say I was an idiot. But she told me, ‘You’re so much better to be around now that you’re doing this. You have to go back to fighting.’”

This commitment to balance and injury prevention is what drew Mark to tools like Iron Neck. It’s not just about building strength—it’s about longevity and staying in the game.

 

What Can Iron Neck Do for You?

Mark Zuckerberg’s story is a testament to the power of neck training. Whether you’re an elite athlete, an entrepreneur, or someone looking to improve your overall fitness, Iron Neck is designed to:

• Enhance Performance: Improve stability and power in grappling and striking.
• Prevent Injuries: Reduce the risk of concussions and neck-related issues.
• Build Confidence: Feel stronger and more secure in everyday life.

As Joe Rogan said, “If you could give [this kind of strength] in a pill, everyone would buy it. But it’s not a pill—it’s a long journey of pain, discipline, and learning. Tools like Iron Neck make that journey smarter and safer.”
