REGRESSION · HOW TO DO IT

Unloaded bench neck extension

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

  1. 01
    Set up your version

    Set up specifically for the Unloaded bench neck extension. Keep resistance intentionally low so position—not load—is the challenge.

  2. 02
    Move the pattern

    Starting slightly flexed, lift the head until it is in line with the trunk without throwing it backward.

  3. 03
    Match the demand

    Use this version to make the position repeatable before adding range, load, or speed.

  4. 04
    Finish with control

    Pause at neutral, then lower slowly. Stop if the movement causes dizziness, tingling, or sharp pain. Keep the motion smooth.
