aaronb41 Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 How hard should one hold the bar against the neck when kinking? Should it just be light pressure, or should the bar really be pressed hard up against the neck? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acorn Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Just light pressure really. More of a positional thing to get the best torque on the bar. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HandsMcHanderson Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 It seems to be a matter of preference from what I've seen. Some guys don't even have the flexibility to get it to the neck. Experiment and see what feels right to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sean Cashman Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 My neck just helps me stabilize the bar in the kink position. Then the powerful muscles of the upper body take over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robertmiller67 Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 I tuck the bar tight against my neck to create the best leverage & torque. Not to the point of pain- but it just seems to stabilize everything better and create more tension! Good luck bud! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
