Q & A for The 16% – Neck Performance – for The Bench Press and Combat Athletes

June 19, 2020 By Bill Leave a Comment

Here’s today’s Q&A on neck training in the bench press and for combat athletes.

From Vikram: Could you explain why some people go into what looks like cervical flexion at the bottom of a bench press?

From Conor:  I have an athlete that wants to train their neck because they’re a combat athlete. I was curious what your thoughts are on neck training and how you would go about it for both a wide or narrow ISA. They are fairly well progressed in their program and feeling great, but have had issues with neck tension in the past.
