The neck is one of the most neglected muscles in the gym — and one of the most important for safety in combat sports. A strong neck absorbs impacts better in boxing, wrestling and MMA, reduces concussions by cushioning head movement, and improves cervical stability in all contact disciplines. The head harness lets you train the neck flexors and extensors with progressive loading, just like any other muscle group. Order before 12:00 for same-day dispatch from Meyrin and delivery in 1 to 2 working days.

The model available

RDX H2 Weightlifting Neck Harness — padded 4-point harness, steel chain with carabiner, compatible with standard and Olympic plates. Forehead and head padding for comfort. Adjustable universal size.

Exercises you can do with the head harness

Neck flexions (forward)
Seated, tilt your head forward against the resistance of the hanging plate. Works the sternocleidomastoids and deep flexors. Start very light (2-5 kg).
Neck extensions (backward)
With your head tilted forward, lift it back against the resistance. Works the upper traps and neck extensors. The most useful movement for combat sports.
Lateral flexions
Head tilted to one side, lift it back up against the resistance. Works the lateral neck muscles. Less common, advanced use.

Why strengthen your neck?

In boxing, MMA, wrestling, rugby and American football, neck strength is directly linked to resistance to impacts. A strong neck:

  • Absorbs part of the kinetic energy of punches received before it is transmitted to the brain.
  • Stabilises the head during takedowns and throws in wrestling and MMA.
  • Reduces chronic neck pain linked to wearing head guards and repeated impacts.
  • Improves overall posture, which contributes to performance on all pressing exercises.

Progression and safety

The neck is a very sensitive area. Follow these strict rules:

  • Start at 2-5 kg maximum for the first 2-4 weeks, even if you're strong elsewhere.
  • Slow, controlled movements — never jerky or explosive movements. At least 2-3 seconds on the eccentric phase.
  • Partial range of motion at first — don't force maximum flexion or extension. Increase the range gradually.
  • Stop immediately if you feel sharp pain, tingling or numbness.
  • 2-3 sessions per week maximum — neck muscles recover more slowly than the large muscle groups.

Frequently asked questions

Is the harness suitable for beginners?
Yes, but with a very light load (2-5 kg) and an extremely gradual progression. Neck strengthening is particularly useful for combat sports beginners who have never specifically trained their neck.
Can the harness be used with any plate?
Yes, the carabiner is compatible with standard (28 mm) and Olympic (50 mm) plates. Pass the carabiner through the plate's centre hole.
How often should I train?
2-3 times a week, at the end of a session. Never train your neck at the start of a session, when the muscles are cold and your full concentration is needed elsewhere.
