Any neck training enthusiasts ever do this? Can it be done? I'm thinking about trying this against a wall. I figured the noose stuff is too hardcore, so this is my next option. :D

It is possible. Comes up in a good amount of Chinese acrobatic videos. Saw a kid hopping up shallow stairs on his head. I've tried it and the balance (of course) is very tricky. Hurts too.

yea I used to hold it for a minute or so against the wall, nothing amazing here

start slow, get something soft for your head at first, then gradually build up

unless you are looking to get into head balance which is a completely different discipline

Just neck conditioning, I figure it has to be pretty intense, no?
