Because I am in a "Biggest Loser" pool at my office, I've been taking regular measurements of my neck and waist. Today, after those deadlifts and probably cumulative to the past 3 workouts (deadlifts) my neck is a full half-inch thicker than it was 2 months ago. For doing bodyfat calculations this is actually a "Good thing", as we are using the old US Navy bodyfat calculator to see who loses the most bodyfat, not BMI or total pounds lost (it uses a ratio of your neck-to-waist measurement and the smaller your waist is, while having a thick neck, the better).
At my strongman competitive apex I had a 21.5" neck. Don't know if I'm going to get back to that, I kinda enjoy not waking up numb and sore every morning.
