REGRESSION · HOW TO DO IT
Unloaded side-lying neck raise
These steps are written specifically for the Unloaded side-lying neck raise. Follow them in order and stop before you lose the position.
- 01Set up your version
Set up specifically for the Unloaded side-lying neck raise. Lie on your side and stack the ribs and pelvis before you begin. Keep resistance intentionally low so position—not load—is the challenge.
- 02Move the pattern
Keep the nose facing forward as you lift the ear away from the floor using the side of the neck.
- 03Match the demand
Use this version to make the position repeatable before adding range, load, or speed.
- 04Finish with control
Stop when the head is level, then lower slowly without turning or jutting the chin. Stop at a clean neutral finish.

Unloaded side-lying neck raise
Sets: 2–3 · Reps: 10–15 per side
Unloaded side-lying neck raise 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.
