Look at his neck and it will tell you all you need to know.

yeah just never seen anyone using it. i have a neck harness but hardly use it. Prefer wrapping a plate in a towel lying on a bench weight on forehead. works good.

Definitely a unique piece of equipment.

Varsity model (for athletes) is $400.

Still just use plates. Rarely bother putting on the harness but don't regret the amazon purchase since it was cheap enough. Wrapping a wide band around my head and anchoring the other end to the wall (or you could tie it to your rack) works really well for lookaways. No one seems to do rotational work but I like it, not that I'm Mr. Neck or anything. It's elastic tension but I'm rarely under 20 reps so feel safe enough.

I never swing a load or charge forward against a band or any of the stupid shit you see people do online. You only get one spine.

I can't decide if it's the compressive aspect that's bad, but I'm inclined to think no since the Natiinal Geographic chick with the 2 week old party balloon titties carries that giant clay jug of water on her head back and forth every day since Sally Struthers dug that well for her. You could probably train extensions against a load on the top of your head. "E.T.s" Then you'd have to do Reverse ETs where you're hanging from a rope, or inverted with plates tied to your head, and pull your head back down 3/8". I just don't tho.

I liked the AthleanX vid where he says don't bridge because it's a "closed chain exercise" even tho it doesn't sound like the whole story to me. Plenty of shit loads joints and the joints have nowhere to go. Bridging seems to me like it would invite conspiring factors like fatigue, realignment of joints already compressed by force from one direction to accomodate force from another direction as you walk it around or roll back down, and the fact that it's just not a big, skookum assembly like a hip joint.

I bet we could find plenty of grapplers who would insist there's no substitute but since Abu Dhabi won't be extending me an invitation to compete anytime soon, I'm good with being a pussy about it even tho I actually own mats now.

A pencil neck is much more attractive.

No ROM of the neck itself possible because the band either pops off the top of your head or slides south onto your neck.

I just use plates but a harness is good for extensions, only because holding a plate on the back of your head is awkward.

In the commercial gym I use a four way Nautilus machine. At home I use a helmet with the dumbbell bar sticking out of it. The helmet works great. I do neck curls laying on down on a bench to do neck curls. I go on my side one way to do neck extensions to the side then I do the other side. Doing back of the neck extensions I just use a cheap head harness seated with a plate. I do them all in a giant set movement with high reps.  When finished I do rotations with hand resistance. On hand on my chin and the other on my head.

Your corporeal cravings will summon the spirit of Undine in no time! Forget about a 'bull neck' and go train your calves.
or my cock?

Hope he gets the fourth inch because that is not a happy room in any other way.
