I am gonna cut and paste something that I read on some other forum about neck cranks. I don't know if the below statement is accurate but make whatever want of it:
Neck cranks put stress on the cervicle spine,....an injury to that would in a most severe case result in paraylsis or even possibly death.....also, you wont feel a cervicle strain right away...its the type of injury that wont hurt right away so you don't tap, but then the next morning you wake up and you can't move your neck........IMO a sub that could do that, should be banned from competition.....not to mention it is a sub that requires zero technique over strength....it is for wrestlers with ZERO BJJ experience.....neck cranks leave you open for armbars as well and are not a good idea to attempt.....I dispise neck cranks because i always see un-experienced "huge" guys attempt them on guys who are considerably smaller than them....it takes no skill whatsoever and its dangerous....just my opinion |
