Lying Neck Curl
Lying face up with the head off the bench, curl the chin toward the chest through a small, slow range.
How to do it
Setup
Face up on a bench, head hanging off the edge, body relaxed.
Steps
- Curl the chin toward the chest.
- Move through a small, slow range.
- Lower the head back with the same control.
Common mistakes
Big fast nods: the neck wants tiny and slow. Lifting the shoulders: only the head moves. Jumping to weight too soon: bodyweight for weeks first.
Breathing
Exhale curling, inhale lowering.
