Cable Seated Neck Extension (With Head Harness)

The harness neck extension on a cable: facing the stack, raise the head from the chest to upright while the cable pulls it forward.

How to do it

Setup

Seated facing the stack, harness on the head, cable at head height in front, forearms on the thighs.

Steps

Start with the chin near the chest and the cable taut.
Raise the head until the eyes look straight ahead.
Lower the chin back toward the chest slowly.

Common mistakes

Throwing the head back past upright: stop with the eyes level. Leaning the torso back to move the stack: forearms stay on the thighs, only the neck moves. Loading it like a big muscle: a light stack and slow reps.

Breathing

Exhale lifting, inhale lowering.
