How to do it

  1. 01

    Lie face up with your whole body straight on a flat bench while holding a weight plate on top of your forehead. Tip: You will need to position yourself so that your shoulders are slightly above the end of a flat bench in order for the traps, neck and head to be off the bench. This will be your starting position.

  2. 02

    While keeping the plate secure on your forehead slowly lower your head back in a semi-circular motion as you breathe in.

  3. 03

    Raise your head back up to the starting position in a semi-circular motion as you breathe out. Hold the contraction for a second.

  4. 04

    Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions.

In the app

Lying Face Up Plate Neck Resistance appears when you own the kit it needs and the day's window has room for it. Loads come from Rule 3 (Loads rise when earned, read from RPE, graded strong) and climb on the reps you actually did.

If a machine is taken the engine swaps a same-pattern movement and says why.

If you don't have the kit it needs

Same movement pattern, same primary muscles — swap by what you have.
