REGRESSION · HOW TO DO IT

Light lateral neck flexion

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

  1. 01
    Set up your version

    Set up specifically for the Light lateral neck flexion. Keep resistance intentionally low so position—not load—is the challenge.

  2. 02
    Move the pattern

    Keep the nose facing forward as you lift the ear away from the floor using the side of the neck.

  3. 03
    Match the demand

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

  4. 04
    Finish with control

    Stop when the head is level, then lower slowly without turning or jutting the chin. Stop at a clean neutral finish.

Light lateral neck flexion

Sets: 2–3 · Reps: 10–15 per side

Light lateral neck flexion is a regression of Neck Lateral 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.

The lateral neck flexors bring the ear toward the shoulder against light resistance while the trunk remains fixed.
