Train the forgotten muscle group. The Savage Nod is a new movement requiring little equipment to target neck strength for athletes, fighters, and everyday resilience.
Why the Neck Matters
Your neck is the bridge between brain and body—vital for posture, injury prevention, and total-body power.
Yet most athletes overlook it, leaving themselves vulnerable to whiplash, poor alignment, and reduced performance.
The Savage Nod is here to change that.
What Is the Savage Nod?
The Savage Nod is ProfitStrength’s signature neck-strength training method—a focused system of exercises and equipment designed to:
- Increase cervical stability for contact sports.
- Improve posture for lifters, runners, and desk warriors.
- Reduce risk of concussion by building stronger neck musculature.
It’s a movement—literally and culturally—bringing neck training into the mainstream.
