- I have been using the Iron-Neck Pro for around two months.
I used the device about twice per week to incorporate specific neck strengthening using the Iron Neck Pro.
Giving myself some time to really put the piece of equipment to use gave me a solid perspective on the ins and outs and whether it was something I thought was beneficial for me and whether it can be useful for others.

Hey man, I've been using your routine for lower back after bjj class and seems to work pretty well! Thank you for the all content
Appreciate you checking out the content! Good to hear its been beneficial!
Rad info! Thx!
I ended up buying the Pro version, buy once cry once.
Hahahaha that's the perfect way to put it. I'm trying to make that decision now not having worked most of the year. I think crying once is probably the way to go
Cry because it's expensive?
How do you like it? Notice a difference when training jiu jitsu? Thanks!
@@nighthawk5301 I don't think it's worth the cost personally. I would probably just stick with a neck harness and other exercises if I could do it over.
@@zncuentertainment712 Cool thanks for getting back to me. Did you have any previous neck injury or just wanna strengthen it. I want to get back training but my neck always seems to get messed up.
I got the neck flex which was a lot less money and can do all the same work plus a few I didn’t find comfortable with the iron neck..just my opinion though. Thanks for your videos.
Finally thank you. I knew there had to be an alternative out there
Would be cool if they just sold the resistance clip separate and you can upgrade when you feel like
Not a bad idea...
You can send it in and they’ll do that for you for the same cost difference as buying it originally plus the shipping.
Yeah right? Instead they up charge you $200 from the Varsity model to the Pro model seemingly for that one feature.
Thanks - where is this thing made? Are there any competitors?
You are the man!
Thanks brother!
You mention 'other exercises." Can you list a few or point us to another video? What is a good value exercise for neck health? I'm considering Iron Neck, but sounds like pro is the way to go and it's going to take a while to save up for the pro version. Thx!
Are you familiar with neck isometrics?
Neck CARs?
Would this be safe for someone with neck pain from arthritis mild stenosis and bulging disc?
Great video! Is this safe to use with cervical herniated discs and cervical spinal cord compression? Will it help those issues?
I can’t provide specific medical advice as I don’t know your exact medical history, but I do feel that the Iron Neck can be beneficial for those who deal with herniated discs. The Iron Neck is nice in the way it works and it does not compress the neck when used.
I would advise you to chat with your doctor of physical therapist who has a better knowledge of your specific neck issues to see if they agree and recommend it.
Thanks for the review. I get exertion headaches from tension in my neck when do weighted squats among other things. Do you think strengthening the neck with this would help or have the opposite effect?
Yeah, you need to stretch strengthen the muscles, probably work on contracting the chin
I had exertional headaches, went to the doctor got some beta blockers and that helped a little. What really helped me out was just time. Increasing your neck strength won't do anything to help out your headaches, they are due to blood pressure.
Yes and also do wim hoff breathing before each set so your body is saturated with oxygen before each set, will keep your BP down and will give your more strength, also put ice packs on your wrists inbetween sets for more energy and strength before each set, alternate the ice packs on your wrist every 90 seconds
Best neck exercises for someone who hurt their neck getting triangled over a year ago? I fixed it once a month ago just stretching, it popped and felt like something moved into place and off the nerve and felt at least 90% better, but then I hurt it again just making my bed a week ago. It is kind of depressing.
It would be difficult to provide any specifics without an assessment. Are you performing any gentle strengthening? Is stretching still beneficial?
Have you tried going to a good chiropractor? I had similar issues from years of combat sports and combining chiro with massage therapy twice a month has been a game changer.
Depends on the injury. See a chiro
It could be as simple as strengthening the supporting muscles along your cervical spine. Easing your way into neck strength training, combined with a good chiro, and massage therapy could have you on your way to a solution.
I hurt my neck in a BJJ tourney years ago, and after tons of Ortho visits and worthless “treatment” methods, it turned out to be a combination of a poorly fitted pillow and weak supporting muscles. It took 6mo of consistent chiro, strength, and rigorous sports massage therapy, and I haven’t had an issue (fingers crossed) for quite a while.
You need to find where you are weak from the injury and stretch/strengthen those muscles and realize there are going to be some elements that are far behind, but strengthening and stretching these muscles will fix the issues
Have you ever had a herniated disk? Do you feel this device can help prevent re injuring a herniation once properly heald? I want to train again bad. Thanks for any advice.
Did you end up getting the iron neck? My dad has a herniated disk and I’m trying help him as much as I can.
@@REDROBRCFPV No but i started neck strengthening just with bands and gravity which has helped. My dad just had a surgery on his neck and is really happy with the results.
@@REDROBRCFPV Hey my dad just had an artificial disc replacement. Its not fusion. Its called a mobi-c replacement. It is life changing immediately after surgery. Look into it with your dad and see if doctor agrees. Take care.
@@nighthawk5301 thanks I’m going to look into it 👍
How important is the resistance for building strength and not merely rehabbing? Just moving your head under consistent tension SEEMS like it would be pretty effective without the resistance, no? If you have to choose varsity or pro for your personal use which way would you go?
I think one of the best aspects of the Iron Neck and what helps with its effectiveness and safety is the ability to perform the rotational resistance component.
I think that would be the reason to get the Iron Neck Pro. Otherwise a cheaper neck harness would suffice.
^ dude is right. I've treated neck injuries for 15 years and fight professionally.
Rotation is something this offers that nothing else does, on this LVL
Let me share my experience with you. I broke my C5-C7 and had a fuse last summer. Always was in the gym but this injury really made me focus on neck strength and rehabbing. I started just the typical hanging off a bed and doing neck lifts facing every single direction. Usually 3 sets each direction for sets of 40-50. Uusally 3-5 seconds slowly lowering my head and back up over 2-3 seconds. What I learned is the neck was really sensitive to hypertrophy and took almost no loading to get a stimulus. Of course, after a few weeks of the muscles adapting to the load, I slowly added weight (5lb plate/10lb plate holding on my head). Progressive overload, slowly and safely. Neck has never felt better. I have just placed an order on this device and am ecstatic for the rotational resistance.
Would this have any benefit for someone who has degeneration of cervical discs and/or has lost natural curvature of neck and has chorionic neck pain?
I believe so. Strengthening and mobility can be helpful for sure.
Helps me with my bad neck and migraines. Also find a good chiro, like one who has been doing it 10+ years and has great reviews plus massage and sidekicktools are great too.
I’m not a dr not do I have any certifications. I do and practice a lot of my research. It seems to work. General rule I follow is heavy resistance training is good for the body when done properly. When we break things down, they regenerate stronger. Seems to apply pretty much to everything. Not heart tissue. That doesn’t regenerate.
@@nathanmartin294I got jacked up royally by a "seasoned" chiro (life long, in his 50s). Neck adjustments where they twist your head are NEVER worth the risk.
Do you think this device can help with fixing muscle imbalances between SCMs?
I believe it can help with general strengthening of the neck which could ultimately help the muscle work together better.
Can it be used just for strengthening your neck to try and prevent injuries.
Yes for strengthening is the purpose of the Iron Neck. I would say that the things that the Iron Neck does best and most uniquely is the rotational resistance.
what do you think about the starter vs the varsity vs the pro??
I prefer the Pro model because you are able to adjust the tension for the rotational resistance.
@@TheJiuJitsuTherapist i got the pro. been enjoying it. helping w/rehab from a past neck injury.
Would love to use one, but they are very cost prohibitive. Maybe have a way for a doctor to recommend them so that insurance would help with costs 🤷♂️
Price can be a pain point, then again an neck injury can easiely cost you more than 500 dollars :/
@@BjorsN that’s true. It’s just tough to afford with everything going on.
They have some good sales going on right now. May be worth checking out!
You had me when I saw you have a Lanky gi. I train under David Porter.
Will this help me get a neck like Yoel Romero ?
All the gods and all the kings men can’t help you get that
Yoel spent a few years on his knees as a fluffer, will be hard to match his training
@@megusta9045 what is a fluffer? No german translation for this word
@@Robinson.69 lol I'm a native english speaker and I'm not entirely sure what "fluffer" means in this context. But I can take a guess...
@@DrGetgood then...guess 😆
would you recommend for post ACDF surgery? "post" meaning 3 years ago.
I think it can be helpful for sure.
Starting very light resistance would be important. Main thing strength and mobility after ACDF is important.
Be mindful that this doesn’t cause any discomfort…again it may be best to touch base with your doctor before getting one.
Is this really worth the cost over a regular neck harness?
Great question...and the answer is that it really depends. The unique thing about the Iron Neck is the rotational resistance that you can get which I think is unique and important. Some of the other movements can be replicated with a neck harness, however it depends on your knowledge of neck strengthening and also ease of use. I think the Iron Neck is fairly easy to use, however if you have a solid knowledge of using a neck harness, you could do ok. I have had clients try it out in my clinic and the significant majority of the time end up purchasing a unit because they really liked it.
Aren't neck harnesses supposed to be really bad for you though ? I thought the iron neck had you move and strengthen the neck in natural, non damaging ways. Where a harness was not at all good for you
i am a physical therapist, aging powerlifter, and jiujitsu blue belt. thank you for this review.
No worries!
Hope it was helpful!
Will this add thickness to the neck?
I feel that it you train the neck consistently it can help
Got the varsity, need to adjust it better. It was slipping down to my nose.
Yes, get a snug fit for sure.
It takes a little adjusting to get it right.
The only thing I don't like about this video is that I just bought my iron neck a week ago and I didn't have a promo code.
I there an Iron Neck Amateur? I don't feel my neck is ready to go pro.
So what’s the paid promotion on this? Did Iron neck pay for the review? Not an attack, I just saw the disclaimer but no promotion. I’m struggling with neck pain and watching reviews. Just hoping they are all fair and unbiased cause that thing is pricey!
Hey thanks so much for the question!
This is my honest review of the Iron Neck.
They sent me a unit to test out and then I worked with it for some time to see how it functioned and whether it helped.
The review is not paid and it’s all my own.
I’ve had some training partners try it out and use it themselves and then purchase one.
Of course it depends on what the issues/problems that you are dealing with specifically regarding your neck are.
The research shows that strengthening the neck is helpful for injury mitigation and this device is helpful with building neck strength.
Thanks!
@@TheJiuJitsuTherapist Thanks bro. I ordered one.
Neat 😅 I’d just wear it around cause it’s cool lookin. Pair up nice with a Covid mask
I live at a busy ski resort. I think this will get admiring looks from the young chicks.
Good for hypertrophy?
I believe it will increase strength which can in turn assist with hypertrophy...but I would say the main value is for strengthening with rotation and for rehab and preventative purposes.
I think I neck harness may be more geared towards hypertrophy.
200 dollars extra for resistance?
Yeah, that's probably one of the main issues I hear. In my opinion, the Pro model is the one to get if you get an Iron Neck.
You sound like the guy from the chewy podcast.
😆 yeah I co-host the podcast with Chewy.
Your code doesn't work
I believe the discount they have currently is 25% off so it won’t take the code?
If you put in my code it may give you a $20 gift card I believe.
Does that make sense?
@@TheJiuJitsuTherapist ah yes , that makes sense. The Alpha Harness was $50 postage to the UK so I decided not get it. Thanks for the reply :)
Promo code no longer works
JJT20?
We’re you unable to apply it?
I’d there currently a discount on it?
Jesus saves. Love you guys.
That's why my TH-cam Channel exists.
Concussion has nothing to do with the neck strength. If I am right your just floats in a fluid
Can you tell me where you are getting this information?
Here is a research article that may give some more insight into neck strength and the impact on concussions.
pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24930131/
Hope this helps.
Paid
Promotion?
Nope, they sent me a unit to try out. I did not get paid for the videos.
Be sure to use promo code
