Iron Neck provides versatile fitness solutions designed to be simple but effective, with everything you need to get the workout you want, anywhere you want it. Whether you’re looking to build strength, improve biomechanics, or rehabilitate a previous injury, Iron Neck has a training solution designed specifically for you. Trusted by medical professionals, coaches, trainers, and individuals all around the world, Iron Neck has a proven track record of getting results.

Iron Neck training products are trusted to help achieve health and fitness goals in many ways, but here are three primary benefits:

1. Improve posture, flexibility, range of motion, and movement biomechanics by exercising overworked and under trained muscles.
   
2. Eliminate neck and back pain by strengthening muscles that support your head and spine.
   
3. Reduce whiplash and concussive forces by building a stronger neck and core

The only difference between our 3.0 model and 3.0 Pro model is the slider that revolves around the track. Our 3.0 Pro model features a variable friction dial that allows the user to dial in the appropriate amount of desired rotational friction to their workout. This can be turned all the way down to mimic the resistance of the 3.0 model, or turned all the way so that the slider is locked into place.

The 3.0 slider has no rotational friction and moves around the 360 degree track friction free

1. There are two potential forms of resistance applicable with Iron Neck training: linear and rotational.
2. Linear resistance is applied by connecting the Iron Neck to a resistance band or cable pulley machine and adding tension. Since this resistance source is being applied from a high lever point on the body, muscles throughout the entire kinetic chain are turned on and engaged. You can adjust the amount of linear resistance by stretching the resistance band out farther (increasing resistance) or standing closer to the anchor point (decreasing resistance). You can also switch between resistance bands to accommodate specific needs. If using a cable pulley machine, adjust the pulley to forehead height and change the weight stack to the desired weight, then step away from the machine to apply resistance.
3. Rotational resistance is available in our Pro models and is applied using our variable friction dial to provide drag/friction as the slider moves around the guide track.

Rotational resistance is important for athletes to mitigate the effects rotational head acceleration can have on the brain, i.e. reduce concussion risk. Rotational forces are believed to be even more injurious to the brain than linear forces because it can cause twisting and tearing at the brain stem. Part of the neck’s job is to slow head acceleration after impact or a fall to the ground to reduce the amount of force/energy transferred from the body to the brain. Building rotational neck strength adds another layer of protection against concussion risk.

Rotational resistance is also a great option for those looking for faster increases in neck size due to the addition of concentric contractions in your neck muscles, which further supports hypertrophy.

Short answer, yes. Long answer, if you are seeing a physical therapist, chiropractor or medical doctor, you should speak to them as they can share more on your condition. The type of training that you get with Iron Neck can be as subtle or advanced as intended. This isn’t a new training concept, but it’s a much more effective way of getting results. Overall, Iron Neck is a safe and progressive way to improve strength and range of motion.

1. First step is adjusting the head strap on top of the device. This controls the "ride height" of the device. You'll want it to be set so the Iron Neck sits level on your head and right above your eyebrows (though exact positioning can vary from head to head). Next step is going to be to pick the front pad that is going to give you the snuggest fit while still being comfortable (reference the above section for dimensions). 
2. Then take the device and push your forehead into the front pad and slide the rear pad down until the unit is sitting even on your head. Both the front and rear pad will depress with pressure so it should feel snug as you pull it into place. Finally for a perfect fit, you'll inflate the rear pad by pumping the bulb on the top right of the device to tighten up the fit even further if needed. Make sure you deflate the back pad after each session using the release valve button next to the rubber bulb used for inflation. 
3. Last step is to clip into your resistance band that is anchored at the same height relative to the Iron Neck unit on your head. If the band is anchored too high, the Iron Neck will pull up off your head. If the band is anchored too low, the Iron Neck will pull down over your eyebrows. Like all new gym equipment/exercises, Iron Neck training can take a few days to get used to. Proper fit and form are crucial to a good workout. If you’re still having trouble getting a comfortable fit after following these steps, please visit our Iron Neck YouTube Page. Here you can see Iron Neck in action to get a better idea of what perfect fit and form looks like on the athletes we work with. You can always use a mirror to replicate proper form and adjust things that may be wrong.

When first starting out, or if Iron Neck training is intended for rehabilitation, we recommend starting friction free (adjustable on the Pro model), for short durations (2-5 minutes), using light resistance (<10 lbs). For maximum size and strength gains, we recommend training 2 to 3 times a week (5-10 minutes per session). As you gain familiarity with the training system and confidence with the exercise protocols, you can begin to add more resistance (linear and rotational) and incorporate auxiliary exercises into your training.

We've had several customers use FSAs (Flexible Spending Accounts) and HSAs (Health Savings Account) to purchase Iron Neck and Fitness Bundles from us, so it's definitely an option. FSA and HSA insurance programs are governed by IRS guidance and allow the ability to apply these funds toward medical expenses, as authorized by category guidance and physician approval. A primary difference between FSAs and HSAs is that the individual controls an HSA and allows contributions to roll over, while FSAs are less flexible and are owned by the employer.
