Sets: 2–3 · Reps: 10–20

Long-pause 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.
