Weighted Seated Neck Extension (with Head Harness)

A neck isolation strength exercise performed using a weighted head harness while seated on a bench. The movement involves extending the neck by slowly lifting the head backward against resistance, then returning to a neutral position with controlled motion. The exercise targets the posterior neck muscles and requires strict control to avoid excessive spinal loading. It emphasizes slow, deliberate repetitions and a controlled lowering phase to maintain tension throughout the neck musculature.
