Seated Neck Extension (Neck Harness)

Also known as: Seated Neck Extension (Neck Harness).

A seated neck extension with a head harness and a light suspended weight.

How to perform this exercise

1. Sit securely on a bench with the feet apart and both hands resting on the thighs. Lean the trunk forward slightly and fit a neck harness snugly around the head, with its chains suspending a very light plate between the legs. Begin with the neck only mildly flexed and the plate clear of the floor.
2. Extend the neck slowly only until the head aligns comfortably with the inclined torso. Keep the trunk still, then lower the head a small controlled amount to the same start without jerking or throwing it backward.
