3

Pause for a moment at the top of the extension, then slowly return to the starting position, making sure to maintain control throughout the movement.

4

Repeat this exercise for your desired number of repetitions, ensuring you keep your movements slow and controlled to avoid injury.

Pro Tip

Proper Grip: Hold the rope attachment with both hands behind your head. Your palms should be facing towards each other and your fingers should be interlocked. Avoid holding the rope too tightly as this could cause unnecessary tension in your hands and arms. Controlled Movement: The movement should be slow and controlled. Extend your neck backwards, using the muscles at the back of your neck to pull the weight. Avoid jerking or using momentum to lift the weight, as this could lead to injury. Range of Motion: Make sure to fully extend your neck without going beyond your comfortable range of motion. Avoid overextending as this could lead to strain or injury. Breathing: Breathe
