Harness-resisted neck flexion

Progression of Neck Flexion

PROGRESSION · HOW TO DO IT

Harness-resisted neck flexion

These steps are written specifically for the Harness-resisted neck flexion. Follow them in order and stop before you lose the position.

  1. 01
    Set up your version

    Set up specifically for the Harness-resisted neck flexion. Lie with the head supported near the end of a bench and begin with no load or very light hand resistance.

  2. 02
    Move the pattern

    Gently tuck the chin, then nod the head forward through a small smooth range.

  3. 03
    Match the demand

    Treat this version as the only progression; do not add load, range, and tempo at the same time.

  4. 04
    Finish with control

    Stop before the jaw tightens or symptoms appear, and return slowly to the starting position. Keep the jaw relaxed.

Sets: 2–3 · Reps: 10–20

Harness-resisted neck flexion is a progression of Neck Flexion. 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.

Supported neck flexion lets the deep and superficial flexors shorten against light resistance without turning the movement into a full-body effort.
