A Bad Ass Journey To A Stronger Neck Using The MMB Pro Neck Flex Series

 

As you build your temple, whether you train alone or with a pack of your strongest allies, you’re going to develop what many neglect. Training your neck for epic strength & conditioning is the key to a door that leads to a world where other Mortals train for vanity and forget what keeps their head on straight.

One of the most valued weapons in your arsenal to build a neck that isn’t just for show, it’s a symbol of those who came before with the intent to build levels of power that isn’t easily described. The MMB Pro Neck Flex Series Kit. Being a part of the Neckzilla Family along with it’s maker Mike “The Machine” Bruce, is not just of honor, but responsibility to teach the masses about what the possibilities are for training the neck. If you want to look for the Godfather, look no further than Mike.

Most harnesses are either knock offs, outdated or don’t have the necessary needs to train the neck efficiently. Some have their perks and can work well for beginners and old school students of the game like Fighters, Football Players & Wrestlers. However; there’s a reason why the Neck Flex reigns as the King and that’s the ability to choose to use a Band or to use Weights. Lethal options that prepares you for War.

Most harnesses only have 2 or maybe 3 D-Rings to hook up to, this son of a bitch has 6. What you’re getting is next level training options to move your neck in all sorts of directions and safely I might add. Clean force that doesn’t slip, twist or give you garbage angles to train. Another is the amount of weight you can use. Hooking up a chain or a machine, it is strong enough to withstand more than one can bare to attempt. Others mainly can barely hold more than 100, some even less than 30. We’re talking close to 300 lbs with this thing. The same amount of weight Mike himself has lifted with his neck for 2 reps.

With the band, the sky is the limit to what you can accomplish. For me, I work this thing for 500 Rep sessions across several exercises with control, tension based entities and technique that has kept my neck at 18+ inches cold. In those sessions, it could hit 19 or more. Is it necessary to do that level of Volume? No, it’s not meant for everyone. You can though train using less sets and reps with greater tension and slower pacing. I like to move fast but not jerking anything. The band itself barely weighs anything, so you can travel with it and workout anywhere. The amount of tension is only 19 lbs which doesn’t sound like much but trust me, it’s more than enough for everyone.

Could you combine this with other neck exercises like Bridges or Self Resistance? Absolutely, there’s no rule that says you can’t. It is important though to work around what your goals are. If you’re just wanting a strong neck but aren’t a wrestler or Race Car Driver, Self Resistance & Neck Flex Band Work is more than enough. It’s about health and injury prevention, not making a statement to how superior your training is to others. Train it with intent to limit or even prevent Concussions. Neck Training that builds thickness but also mobility create shock absorbers, a stronger jawline and better posture.

Be amazingly awesome and get your hands on the king of neck harnesses: MMB Pro Series. It’ll put you in a realm of men that are hard to kill or even choke.

Is There The Best Harness For Your Neck? Let's Learn By Comparing

 In recent times, I've been gathering info and experience through more neck training these days and I got an opportunity to test out various models of Neck Harnesses to see and feel how they would be applied for others or at least learn their own value and comparisons. 

What I came up with is based on my own experience, knowledge and what I potentially see through these apparatuses....

I'm going to start with what I believe is the least likely Harness that didn't pan out.

It's called the DMoose Harness ....

This particular product does have its potential but from the time I put it on, I noticed many low grade entities. 

1st off: Just by putting it on, it felt too light and even tightening it, it felt too big to wear. 

2nd: The Rings that you can attach the chain or cables to, are merely plastic and not metal. If you attach the chain and put weight on it, it's not going to sustain it for very long. I don't believe it can hold weight more than a 25 lb plate for consistent work. 

3rd: The lack of life expectancy of this harness. In my personal opinion, this is merely a beginner Harness and with consistent training, it won't last more than a year max, 4-6 months if you really dig into the training aspects. This potentially can be dangerous if it snaps and give you a bit of whiplash. 

So what are the positive notions for this Harness? Well, if you're on a budget and are a beginner to working with equipment like this, this may be for you. What I was given may be different from the site but the price for this is $35 which isn't bad but after a short time, you're going to want to upgrade which can damper your wallet. 

The next apparatus is the Iron Neck Alpha Harness....

 Now this is a far better product and has some cool things to it. The D Rings are metalized and can hold up some serious weight. Mike Tyson has used this to challenge his neck work even at his current age which you can find at https://www.iron-neck.com/blogs/articles/mike-tyson-neck-workout. 

It can be a little tricky to put on at first but it's more doable and has adjustments to fit your head. Work with a chain or a strap you can attach to an anchor point and have at it. Isometrics are perfect for this thing. With weight, it can hold its own and you can get in some serious training with this crazy bastard. It's lifespan is much longer and works well for athletes and trainees who train in the gym. In my experience, it has its perks and does its job.

Now this is the part where it can get controversial: This apparatus has been known and publicly documented as the carbon copy of the Neck Flex. They made it virtually identical and passes off as an original product when in reality it's a knock-off. I personally believe that it gives off bad vibes to take on something that was sued and not only lost once but twice in court. 

If you hadn't known about the lawsuit, design and the knock-off aspects, I would say this is a cool product and has great potential to be a top notch piece of equipment but due its black mark on the fitness industry, I wouldn't recommend it but it is up to you. It's currently priced at $59 which is still relatively affordable and there may be some additional things you can grab so again, your choice with what you want to do with this but you read it here and can look into the lawsuit yourself here>>> https://www.theneckflex.com/blogs/resources/neck-flex-vs-iron-neck.

Here are the Neck Flex Comparison Products:

-Let's start with The Halo Kit 

This is the basic and virtually the first level of working with the Neck Flex. You get the Harness, a door anchor and a resistance band that has a level of 19 lbs at full stretch. It's an introduction if you will. With the band, you can attach it with the carabineer to the D Rings which has 4 all together. You can work the neck in the front, back and side to sides in several capacities. If you didn't want to use weights whatsoever, this is perfect for just about anybody whether you a pro athlete or just a regular guy wanting to get in shape. Hell, this is the type of apparatus that bodybuilders have used including female bikini competitors. The door attachment works very well and can use the band for additional exercises.

-Next up is the The Neck Flex Ballistic Kevlar Series Kit

This is the next level of Neck Training. You get the Harness, band, door anchor and in addition of the chain. The chain is for adding plates or kettlebell. The Velcro straps have a bit of adjusting to and there's several within the rings that may need to understand but it's not impossible or anything. I've personally done a workout or two with the chain to do Isometrics with and it shifts really well between exercises and is a very powerful chain as I've pulled and held with incredible strength. It would take a lot to break that thing. 

The band is a little longer since it can also be used to do exercises with the door anchor and work the neck with greater distance compared to the Halo Kit Band. Overall, solid product and gives you more options to train than just a band or chain separately.   

-The last kit is the MMB Pro Series Kit

MMB stands for its inventor Mike The Machine Bruce whom I've written about before. 

This kit is similar to the Kevlar version but it's considered the cream of the crop of all the kits (my personal opinion as well). The additional two D Rings you will find aids into the safety of building a strong and powerful neck as they can be used with the band and utilize turning of the head and creating circles as opposed to just going up and down, ear to ear and small turns like a halo. Mike does what he calls the wet behind the ears as he speeds up and shakes his head to hit the neck in ways that are pretty bad ass. I've worked the two additional rings in an exercise I call "Joker's Smile" where you tuck the chin slightly and turn the neck to create a half circle making it an exaggerated entity of the Joker's laugh. However you want to call it, its what I see it as.

You get the chain as well and is just as strong or not even stronger than the previous kit. Do I know for sure, no but I do believe it can hold its own. 

So what's the verdict when it comes to a full comparison analysis:

Each have their own uses and have similar features yet work the neck in many ways. You can expect more out of the Neck Flex because the core of these pieces of equipment is how Mike Bruce wanted to train his neck for wrestling/shoot fighting along with developing injury prevention and Concussion Prevention. Not to mention utilizing pre/rehab therapy. In the other products such as the Iron Neck, you're looking at something that is mainly used to build the neck for sports like Football, Boxing, Wrestling and other contact sports and maybe some aspects to injury prevention but very little for what it is marketed as. 

The DMoose is literally the beginner's beginner of all Neck Apparatuses in my opinion and it's an encouraging start but it doesn't have the long term effect of being able to stick if you're looking for a good stretch of consistent training. It's not necessarily a bad thing but you will eventually hit a wall and would need to keep buying a new apparatus every few months to a year max. That can add up if you keep needing to upgrade.

The Neck Flex kits are most likely the safest pieces of equipment you can get because it gives you insights beyond just typical training. There are several Iron Neck equipment you can buy but several run up to nearly a grand and unless you own a gym or saved up for several months to a couple years, I don't see many people spending that kind of money just to see what they can do for their neck.
