Somehow I also managed to bust my cervical discs( neuro told me 2 protrusions, 2 bulges and 1 hernia ) which was a huge shock to me as I never had any neck pain or back pain whatsoever( I dont do squats and deadlifts, never had any major accidents involving whiplash, falling on my head, etc, never did any retarded neck exercises or over head press with many kg. Only went to the neuro after experiencing a tingling in my left thumb any didnt expect anything like this( I'm 32 years old. Fortunately my tingling went away( almost. I stopped bench pressing( I didnt't use any exagerated arch while doing it anyway) and dropped about 25% from the weight of any exercise but I'm still a bit paranoid as this shouldn't have ever happened.

You guys heed Jeff's warning, biscuit developed into ridiculopathy is what Jeff is explaining. You get pain all the way down to your fingertips you lose function and control or dexterity of your hand fingers atrophy of the muscle my left side is much smaller it's atrophied by Peck latch delts traps and my own left arm is three to four inches smaller than my right arm. I lost 80% of the long head of my tricep so you will get a horrible and balance so if you think about the mental health of it and your everyday living you can lose control of your fingers your thumb your wrist your forearm and then it causes your shoulder because you manipulate your arm in an angle that you normally would.

Quite a good alternative to theneck plate forward exercise is to take something long, like a scarf or a long towel, place it across your forehead so that it drapes at each side over your shoulders and down your back. Then grab each end behind you and just perform reps of dynamic tension pulls by bending your neck forwards and resisting downwards behind you by pulling with your hands. A similar exercise can work the jaw, but by placing a narrower strip (like a bathrobe belt for example) across your chin and repeatedly jutting it out forwards whilst pulling from behind.

Hey Jeff loved the video makes a lot of sense especially when you show it with the spine dummy. My kids are in wrestling and one of their coaches tells the kids to do this -neck roll movement-. Some of the older kids can do it without using hands (kinda like the old Mike Tyson neck roll footage) I-ve often thought, yeah it looks impressive but that can-t be good for my kids neck! Can the still build a strong enough neck with your technique vs the neck roll? Thanks again for all the great videos

Jeff, I hear you 100% on the risks of injury. But for the wrestlers and BJJ players, do you have any advice as to a safe way to functionally work the neck that would replace the neck bridge? I think your recommendations for replacement exercises in this video would work well for body builders, but it may be suboptimal for those who need to functionally train loading a dynamically shifting weight of the body onto the neck during a controlled rotation. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi jeff, I already am in big trouble. I have quite a bad neck injury ive had since i was 25 (im now 30. I get a lot of migraines and pain, but mainly when i do the action you-re describing (tucking the chin, this happens when sitting and when driving especially.
Should i be encouraging this pain in this way in order to fix the problem? Im able to train now but even as recent as 2 years ago this was an incredibly debilitating injury, hoping to solve it for good with these exercises!

I have a problem, whenever I do Neck Flexions with plates on my head, the back side of my neck hurts when I extend my head in the negative part of the flexion just before the concentric part. Then it hurts the most in the top part of the movements when the chin is about to touch the chest. What am I doing wrong? am I hyperextending the neck? am I -curving- it too much and I must keep it in a limited ROM and more neutral? Thanks

I have been doing neck bridge without knowing the name of this exercise but I keep the chin down near to chest bone. Tilting the head does not strengthen the muscle, you only put your weight on the bones like what Jeff mentions as compression. I do this to counter hours of bending to watch mobile/laptop, it REALLY helps.

Don't know about it, I was a bboy for about 10 years, doing head spins almost everyday and I really mean it (I trained like a crazy in these years)
My neck is strong and health, don't fell anything wrong, and I was a radilogist too, so i can read a x-ray and say if it had something wrong.
