Description
The Omaha 3 head strap from BioTech USA allows you to perfectly load the neck muscles by changing the angle of the load on the rectifiers. What's more, the head strap can be used at the gym, at home or on the go. With its help, you will be able to provide a load to all the aforementioned muscles by performing neck extensions.
1. Fix the head strap on the head - the chains or straps should hang down on the chest. Attach weights to them and stand on a bench or block. Bend forward 45 degrees in relation to your hips, resting your hands on them. Keep your back straight and your knees slightly bent.
2. Tilt your head forward, bringing your chin closer to your chest. You should feel a good stretch at the back of your neck.
3. Slowly and under control raise your head, overcoming the resistance of weights. At the top, try to look at the ceiling. Hold this position for two counts before returning to the bottom position.
4. On the next rep, lift your head up again, but now turning your chin to the left and up in an arcuate curve. At the top, the head should be turned to the left, and the gaze should be directed to the ceiling. Hold this position for two counts. Lower your chin to the starting position.
5. During the third repetition, turn your chin to the right and lift it up. Again pause for two counts before returning to the starting position.
6. Now repeat the entire triple sequence 12-15 times. This is one set.
7. Lower the weight to the bench or floor, and simply stretch the neck straighteners. Perform all movements slowly, trying to reach your chest with your chin. You can intensify the stretch by gently pressing on the back of your head with your hands. Don't overdo it so you don't get hurt. Hold the stretch for 10 seconds before resting.
Important notes:
Be sure to perform repetitions slowly, do not allow jerks. A fast pace can cause unwanted movements in the cervical vertebrae. If you don't lift your shoulders like you would with a shrag, then the upper trapezoid fibers can work more effectively as neck straighteners.
Progress too slow? Yes. Do neck extensions guarantee that you will never injure this region? No. However, strong neck muscles will minimize the risk of injury and ensure faster recovery if it occurs. In addition, you will get a very visible result - you may not see your powerful neck without the help of a mirror, but its splendor will not escape the attention of those around you.
If you do not pay due attention to the neck, then it is difficult to justify you. In addition, a weak neck is almost impossible to hide. If a sunken chest or thin legs can be hidden under baggy sportswear, then doing the same with the neck is very problematic. Do not walk all the time in a turtleneck! The best way out is not to hide the lack of development of the neck muscles, but to try to correct it.
As for other exercises, the neck does receive indirect stress in overhead presses and deadlifts, but is that enough to build a championship neck or keep it safe from injury? Of course not! In order for you to have a well-developed neck, it must be trained. As with any other part of the body, weight training will come in handy here. Unfortunately, there are no easy ways here either, and you will have to work hard.
