Lying Neck Extension (Weighted)
The neck extension with a light plate or harness on the back of the head.
How to do it
Setup
Face down, head off the bench, a LIGHT plate wrapped in a towel on the back of the head.
Steps
- Extend the neck, lifting the chin away from the chest.
- Small range, steady tempo.
- Lower under control.
Common mistakes
Too much plate: the lightest one, for a long time. Bouncing at the top: pause instead. Any sharp sensation: done for the day.
Breathing
Exhale lifting, inhale lowering.
