How do you perform this exercise?
- Set a low pulley and clip the head harness ring to the carabiner.
- Sit facing the stack with feet flat and torso upright; slide back until the cable is taut.
- Put on the harness with the pad centered on your forehead and the strap snug.
- Start with a slight chin tuck and mild neck flexion; keep shoulders down and core braced.
- Exhale and extend your neck back until your head reaches neutral or a slight extension—do not arch the lower back.
- Pause briefly, then inhale and slowly return to the starting position under control.
- Maintain a smooth tempo, avoid jerking, and keep the range pain‑free; do not hyperextend.
- Use small load increases and stop if you feel neck joint discomfort or tingling.
