    So it used to be thought that cracking your knuckles gave you arthritis. Recent studies have disproved that theory. So now my question is, does cracking your neck reduce your ability to take a punch. I used to crack my neck all the time and stopped for a while without realizing it. The other week i was sparring and got hit on the chin and my neck cracked and it felt sooo good cuz i hadnt done this for about a year. Now i have started to crack my neck again. Out of curiousity does anyone know what this does for punch resistance? (Please don't post if you don't know what your talking about)

    Why on earth would it do anything for your punch resistance?

    We'll have to wait for the neck cracking experts then :patsch

    The cracking is air escaping.

    I know that, but does it do damage to the legements nerves discs or muscles in the neck or lesson punch resistance. cuz i feel so much better after i crack it, but like years down the road i don't want to get knocked on my ass by a bunch of feather fisters

    So you want to know if cracking your neck will increase the likelyhood of you getting knocked out by a punch? I don't think so for some reason. I'm constantly clicking my fingers, none of them have dropped off as of yet.

    I'm not worried about my head falling off, or arthritis, but i am curious if anyone knew if cracking your neck had any negative affects

    Oh yeah, and why is that? What's your expertise bring to this thread RJD since in every other thread you seem to post in you have something to say. this one all you can do is talk **** when i ask a legit question. Thats my exact reason for putting the () in my original post. If your not gonna be of any help then ME, the thread starter asking the question doesn't wanna hear it, so don't bother posting..

    I asked you a legit question in return by the way, I'll repeat it. Why on earth would cracking your neck, which is like brown_bomber said just air escaping from between joints, have ANY impact on punch resistance? It was a serious question, I wasn't even being a *****.

    Your comment between brackets is the reason I said let's wait for the neck cracking experts then, anyone is free to post here you don't dictate who posts in your threads.

    Are you straight up ******ed??? That's the question i am asking the forum... echo much? And no, i don't dictate it at all and i wouldn't try to cuz the more answers and help i get on the questions i ask, the better. but when you ask nicely and say please don't post if you can't help, and then a smart ass like yourself says something dickish... well i dunno, you do the math...
