What It Is
Builds strength in the sides of your neck, helping it hold your head steady through sports, bumps and long drives.
How to Do It
Lie on your side on the bench with your head just past the end. Put a folded towel on the side of your head and hold a light plate on it with one hand. Slowly lower your ear toward the floor, then lift it toward your shoulder. Do all reps on one side, then switch.
Skill Level
Intermediate. Free-weight lifts, single-leg balance under load, or near-bodyweight strength moves. Form matters.
Type
Strength. Builds muscle and strength with controlled, resisted movement.
Engagement
Unilateral (Non-Alternating). Do every rep on one side, then switch.
