What's new in the V2?

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.

How much does the EZ-HELM weigh?

The EZ-HELM weighs just 2 lbs (700 grams), while remaining durable enough to handle up to 100 lbs of loaded weight.

What is the EZ-HELM made of?

Nylon fiberglass (Duracore™), the same material used in the EZ-VEST PRO and EZ-BOOT. Nylon straps, aluminum buckle, PU foam padding.

Does neck training actually work?

Yes — peer-reviewed studies show +1.1 to +2.3 cm neck circumference gains within 8–16 weeks of resistance training (Murlok 2012, Mansell 2005, Harput 2014, Snarr 2017).

Does it fit all head sizes?

Yes. It ships with interchangeable padding in S, M, and L, plus a sliding cam buckle and chin strap for micro-adjustments.

What plates does it take?

All 2-inch Olympic plates out of the box, up to 100 lbs on the 3.5-inch sleeves. 1-inch standard plates need the 1-inch adapter. It also clips to TensionFlex bands and cable stacks.

What does the Full System add?

The Full System bundles the EZ-HELM V2 with the TensionFlex band set, three washable comfort linings and a change plate set.

Why train your neck

“Having a strong neck — why is that so important? You want a strong spine, and it’s the upper portion of your spine. Training my neck completely changes my psychology — I just naturally stand more upright.”

Andrew HubermanNeuroscientist, Stanford School of Medicine

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

Just 2 lb (700 g) — light enough for long sessions, durable enough to carry a 100 lb load.

Nylon fiberglass (Duracore™), the same premium material as the EZ-VEST PRO and EZ-BOOT. Nylon straps, aluminum buckle, PU foam padding.

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, when performed with correct form. The EZ-HELM provides smooth, controlled resistance — start light and progress gradually. If you have pre-existing neck conditions, consult a professional first.

Yes. Detachable, interchangeable padding in S, M and L guarantees a secure fit. The sliding cam buckle and the V2 chin strap both allow micro-adjustments.

All 2″ Olympic plates out of the box, up to 100 lb on the 3.5″ sleeves. For 1″ standard plates, add the 1″ adapter. It also clips to TensionFlex bands and cable stacks.

The Full System bundles the EZ-HELM™ V2 with the TensionFlex band set (5 resistances), three washable comfort linings and a change plate set — everything to train with plates at home and with bands on the road, from day one.
