I don’t know if its age or what but it seems like after a archery league night I have been experiencing pain in my neck and between my shoulder blades for a few days after league night. Since Ive been making exercise gear and a home gym I decided to make a neck strengthening device. A few years ago I shot was a guy on a 3D course and the guy only had one arm. He drew the bow back with his teeth. He had a pretty big and strong neck and mentioned that his neck size and gone up a few inches in just one season of shooting. If his neck could take drawing back a bow and got stronger because of it, I thought it worth while to try to see if I could stop the neck and back pain myself.
I few years ago I bought 300 yards of seat belt material on EBay for projects like tree slings and safety harnesses so I used some of that since its rated at 5,000 Lbs tensil.
Then I fired up the vintage Singer Slant needle sewing machine that I have been using for these projects.
I started making some head gear.
Then another strap to attach the weight to. (I ran out of black thread and had to switch to brown)
Then I sewed in some “D” rings to attach a chain to.
Then it looks like this.

I could be wrong, but I think this is a forum first. Good job fella, that looks solid. I used to use an old seatbelt cut of a car as a dip belt. Its strong stuff and thick enough to be comfortable.
Would rep but I'm on spread with you.My training log:

Isn't it weird that pirates would go out to shore looking for buried treasure but the real treasure was in the friendships they were making?
