Lying Chin Tuck
The Lying Chin Tuck is a bodyweight exercise that primarily targets the neck. It is a staple in well-designed hypertrophy and strength programs when programmed with proper volume and progressive overload.
How to perform the Lying Chin Tuck
- 1Lie on your back with your knees bent or straight and arms at your sides, letting the back of your head rest comfortably on the floor.
- 2Gently tuck your chin towards your chest (like you’re making a double chin), hold for a moment, then relax back to start.
Coach tips
- Keep your head on the floor—don’t lift it up.
- Focus on a smooth, controlled movement for best results.
- You should feel this in the front of your neck, not straining your throat or holding your breath.
Train neck smarter
One rep, one set. Hypro turns the Lying Chin Tuck into measurable progress, week after week.
The right weight, every set
Hypro suggests your next Lying Chin Tuck weight and reps based on what you actually lifted, your rest, and your fatigue. Choose weight-first or reps-first. The more you log, the sharper it gets.
See exactly how much neck you train each week
Every set you log counts toward weekly volume per muscle group. Spot imbalances, avoid junk volume, and program the same way IFBB Pros do.
Use this exercise inside an IFBB Pro plan
Pick a coach-made program, get a plan matched to your goals, and message your coach for form checks. The Lying Chin Tuck fits right into proven hypertrophy and strength templates.
For optimal neck hypertrophy: aim for 10-20 weekly sets at 65-80% of your 1RM with 1-2 reps in reserve.
