Technique
How to do Lying Neck Curls (Weighted)
- Lie on your back on a bench with your head hanging just off the end, keeping your shoulders supported on the bench and your feet flat on the floor. Hold a weight plate flat against your forehead with both hands, using a folded towel for padding.
- Let your head tilt back slightly into a comfortable extended position.
- Curl your head upward by tucking your chin toward your chest, moving only your neck while holding the plate securely.
- Slowly lower your head back to the starting position with control. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Form cues
Getting it right
- Start with a very light plate and progress gradually; the neck responds best to conservative loading.
- Move slowly through a comfortable, pain-free range of motion; never jerk the weight.
- Hold the plate firmly against your forehead so it cannot slide during the movement.
- Keep your shoulders flat on the bench so the movement comes only from your neck.
