HOW TO PERFORM
- Lie face up on a bench with the head off the end, or sit with a band across the forehead.
- Start with the head back in a neutral, comfortable position.
- Tuck the chin and curl the head forward.
- Lower slowly back to the start.
FORM TIPS
- Light load, slow reps, full range, well short of failure.
- Train flexion and extension in roughly equal measure. A neck strong in one direction only is a neck with a weak direction.
