REGRESSION · HOW TO DO IT

Isometric neck extension

These steps are written specifically for the Isometric neck extension. Follow them in order and stop before you lose the position.

  1. 01
    Set up your version

    Set up specifically for the Isometric neck extension. Lie face down with the head near the bench edge and begin with no load or very light resistance.

  2. 02
    Move the pattern

    Build tension in the Isometric neck extension position and keep breathing while the joint angles stay still. Begin slightly flexed.

  3. 03
    Match the demand

    Build tension gradually and hold the position without changing the joint angle.

  4. 04
    Finish with control

    Keep the Isometric neck extension position steady for the prescribed time, then ease out of it without suddenly dropping the tension.

Sets: 2–3 · Reps: 10–20

Isometric neck extension is a regression of Neck Extension. Use the written card above for its exact setup and execution.

Short range: Short range means the target muscle finishes squeezed in its shortened position.

WHY IT EARNS A SPOT

Own the position,
then earn the load.

The neck extensors bring the head from a flexed position back to neutral while the torso stays supported and the load stays modest.
