    When you hold your neck under tension without movement, you're strengthening the deep stabilizers that protect your spine and absorb impact. Great for combat sports, football, or preventing whiplash-type injuries. With the EZ-HELM™ V2, you can perform loaded static holds in every direction — forward, backward, and lateral — safely and comfortably.

    Dynamic movements train your neck through its full range of motion — strengthening not just the stabilizers but the prime movers like the sternocleidomastoid, splenius, and upper traps. The EZ-HELM™ V2 transitions seamlessly to dynamic mode — attach bands or plates and perform extensions, flexions, lateral bends, or rotations with smooth, controlled resistance.

    Variable Resistance

    TRAIN ROTATION WITH
    DIFFERENT STRENGTH CURVES

    Master variable resistance training for comprehensive neck strength development.

    Rotation with peak tension at top
    Advanced
    PEAK TENSION AT TOP

    Maximum resistance at the top of the movement where your muscles are fully contracted. This strength curve challenges your neck stabilizers through the most advantageous position, building explosive power and control.

    Rotation with peak tension at bottom
    Foundation
    PEAK TENSION AT BOTTOM

    Maximum resistance at the bottom position, challenging your muscles through the stretched position. This curve builds strength from the ground up, enhancing muscle recruitment through the full range of motion.

    NECK TRAINING
    IMPROVES POSTURE

    "Having a strong neck, why is that so important? Well, it's important because you want a strong spine, and it's the upper portion of your spine. The other thing that I notice it does is it completely changes my psychology to train my neck. I just naturally stand more upright."

    QUESTIONS

    The V2 adds a chin mount — a ventilated chin cup with an adjustable strap that anchors the helm in place during heavy loading and fast, dynamic movement. It keeps the helm from shifting mid-set so the resistance stays where it belongs.

    The EZ-HELM weighs just 2 lbs (700 grams), making it lightweight enough for comfortable extended training sessions while remaining durable enough to handle up to 100 lbs of loaded weight.

    The EZ-HELM is made of nylon fiberglass (Duracore™), the same premium material used in our EZ-VEST PRO and EZ-BOOT. The straps are nylon, the buckle is aluminum, and the padding is PU foam.

    Yes — multiple peer-reviewed studies confirm it:
    • Murlok et al. (2012): +1.1 cm neck circumference in 8 weeks
    • Mansell et al. (2005): +1.5 cm in 16 weeks
    • Harput et al. (2014): +1.2 cm in 8 weeks
    • Snarr et al. (2017): Up to +2.3 cm maximum individual gain

    Yes, neck training is generally safe when performed with correct form. The EZ-HELM is designed to provide smooth, controlled resistance. Start light and progress gradually. If you have pre-existing neck conditions, consult with a professional first.

    Yes. The EZ-HELM comes with detachable and interchangeable padding in S, M, and L sizes to ensure a secure fit regardless of head size. The sliding cam buckle and the V2's chin strap both allow for micro-adjustments.

    The EZ-HELM supports up to 100 lbs. The loading sleeves are 3.5" long and compatible with all 2" Olympic weight plates. For 1" standard plates, you'll need the 1" adapter accessory.

    The EZ-HELM is compatible with all 2" Olympic weight plates out of the box. For 1" standard plates, you can purchase the 1" adapter separately.
