Neck harness

Neck harness

— a strap system worn on the head and used with additional weight or resistance bands to train the neck muscles and upper trapezius. Such an accessory is common among wrestlers, boxers, and those who value head and neck stability, but in fitness, it is sometimes used for preventing imbalances if done very carefully. The closest comparison is neck exercises with an expander: the resistance bands offer a softer load and are easier to control, while the harness with a weight plate gives a more "direct" and heavier force, thus requiring cautious progression. Example: light neck extension/flexion with low weight, when the goal is strengthening, not setting records.
