Weighted Standing Neck Extension (With Head Harness)

The harness neck extension standing in a hip hinge, hands on the thighs; the back holds the hinge while the neck lifts the plate.

How to do it

Setup

Feet hip-width, knees soft, hinged forward with a flat back, hands on the thighs, the plate hanging from the harness.

Steps

Brace the hinge before the head moves.
Raise the head until the eyes look ahead, back flat.
Lower the chin toward the chest under control.

Common mistakes

Standing up a little with each rep: the hinge angle stays fixed. Back rounding under the hanging plate: hands press the thighs, chest long. Letting the plate swing: pause at the bottom until it hangs still.

Breathing

Exhale lifting, inhale lowering.
