Wide-grip Neck Presses

Posted Friday, November 04, 2005

Another Gironda favorite was wide-grip neck presses.

Essentially, a bench press but with a wider-than-shoulder width grip on the bar, but instead of the bar being lowered to the lower or middle of the pec area, it is lowered to the base of the neck.

Many people don't do this exercise because it's much more difficult to handle heavier weights compared to a standard bench press, but the movement involves much more pec than shoulder and is extremely effective.

My favorite exercise. I've found it to effective with a drop set at the end of a routine.
