A gym head harness is a specialized piece of equipment designed to strengthen the neck, upper back, and trapezius muscles. It is commonly used by athletes, particularly in sports such as football, boxing, wrestling, and martial arts, to improve neck stability, flexibility, and overall muscle strength. The neck harness consists of a padded head and chin strap and a chain or adjustable mechanism for attaching weights. The head harness is worn by placing the strap around the head, with the chain secured to either a weight stack, machine attachment, or free weights. This setup allows for resistance training that targets the neck muscles. The adjustable straps ensure a secure and comfortable fit, making it suitable for various head sizes. The primary purpose of the gym head weight lifter is to build neck strength and prevent injury, especially in contact sports where neck stability is crucial.
