Posterior Neck Isometric
Standing tall with the fingers laced behind the head, press the head back into the hands and hold; nothing moves, the neck works.
How to do it
Setup
Standing tall, fingers laced on the back of the head, chin level, elbows forward.
Steps
- Press the head back into the hands while the hands press forward.
- Match the two pushes so the head stays still.
- Build the press gradually and ease off the same way.
Common mistakes
Tipping the head back as you press: the hands match the push so nothing moves. Jamming the full effort in at once: ramp up, ramp down. Holding the breath: breathe through the hold.
Breathing
Steady throughout; never held.
