Lying Face Down Plate Neck Resistance

Lying Face Down Plate Neck Resistance demonstration

How to Perform

1. 1Lie face down with your whole body straight on a flat bench while holding a weight plate behind your head. Tip: You will need to position yourself so that your shoulders are slightly above the end of a flat bench in order for the upper chest, neck and face to be off the bench. This will be your starting position.
2. 2While keeping the plate secure on the back of your head slowly lower your head (as in saying "yes") as you breathe in.
3. 3Raise your head back up to the starting position in a semi-circular motion as you breathe out. Hold the contraction for a second.
4. 4Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions.

Tips & Common Mistakes
