Lying Face Up Plate Neck Resistance
Differentiation: Mechanics
This variation of a Neck Resistance is unique. Here is how: you hold a weight plate on your forehead while you lay on your back. Moving the plate upward targets and develops your neck muscles.
Starting Position
To get into starting position, do this...
1) Obtain an Olympic plate.
2) Locate a movable flat bench.
3) Lie on your back lengthwise on the bench, with your feet straddling the bench's other end,
4) Your shoulders should come to the edge of the bench.
5) Place and hold the weight plate on the top of your head with both hands.
Main Mechanics
Once in starting position, do this...
1) This is the starting position.
2) This is the lowest position.
3) While holding the plate with your hands, inhale as you lower your head, so it pivots closer to the floor using a slow and controlled movement.
4) Gradually raise your head back to the starting position as you exhale.
5) Hold your head at the starting position for a count of one second, before continuing to do another rep.
6) Repeat reps for a full set.
Proper Form
Pay special attention to following proper form by...
Do not jerk your neck.
Keep your neck tight, and not overload the amount of weight. Doing so can result in injury.
