Lever Neck Left Side Flexion (Plate Loaded)

Coaching cues

• Set the seat so the machine’s pivot is level with the base of your neck and load an appropriate plate.
• Position the left head pad on the bony side of your skull above the ear (not on the jaw or ear).
• Sit tall with your back against the pad, feet flat, and grip the handles to stabilize your torso.
• Start with your head neutral, chin level, shoulders relaxed—do not shrug.
• Exhale as you slowly flex your neck to the left, bringing your ear toward your shoulder without rotating the head.
• Pause briefly at a comfortable end range without pinching or pain.
• Inhale as you return to neutral under control, keeping the motion slow and the neck aligned.
