Crazy idea?


Roark

Recommended Posts

Here's a good chance to have some fun at

my expense, but it worked for me.

Remember the old head straps that were

connected to a dangling weight for neck

exercises?

I hooked up something similar years ago and

continued the strap to tie on to the middle

(between my hands) of the barbell with which

I was doing reverse wrist curls over knees. If I kept my

head bowed there was slack in the line, but if

the head was pulled rearward, then a positive

assist could be employed- that is, after you

lowered the wrist and reached failure after so many

reps, you could raise the head, thus tugging on the

middle of the bar and helping get into position for

the next negative rep.

All right, come on with it!

Yes, you could go to total failure, then stand,

and the neck gear would bypass the failing grip

(I did not have much weight on the exercise bar

for reverse wrist curls), then put the bar down ON

the bench so you could slip your headgear off. The

neckgear simply replaced a training partner's hand

to raise the bar for you to do some negatives.

When doing this (I can see PDA stealing the idea now)

do not SNAP your neck back, pull it back.

Thats not a bad idea, but in my profession (knowing my luck) someone will break there neck and I will get sued for it.  ???   Traing my neck is the one thing I do not do which maybe I should.  I have never felt the need allthough I am starting to think about it.  I might start with some light manual resistance.

Wasn't it George Turner that said that the neck was the bodypart that was the quickest to develop?  So, if you have a "pencil-neck", try some neck training.

kINGPIN, the neck is the quickest to develop with respect to muscular size, I'm not sure if it is in strength as well.  Also when you work out, the neck is the quickest muscle to experience "the pump" with biceps running second.
