</p><p>Sometimes a character needs to demonstrate their strength by making some poor schmuck feel helpless. The standard method of demonstrating <a class='twikilink' href='/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SuperStrength' title='/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SuperStrength' data-format='U3VwZXJTdHJlbmd0aA=='>Super-Strength</a> is to grab the victim by the neck with one hand, and use it to lift them off their feet. If you want to throw a bone to plausibility, you can then slam them up against a wall to make holding them off the ground easier. The version most likely to work in real life would be to first press them against the wall and <em>then</em> push them up the wall by their neck, preferably with two hands and plenty of leg drive. Still, the most badass version will always be to just hoist them one-handed with pure shoulder strength and no wall, looking as if you could hold them there all day. You may decide to <a class='twikilink' href='/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/MinionMaracas' title='/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/MinionMaracas' data-format='W1tNaW5pb25NYXJhY2FzIHNoYWtlIHRoZW0gYSBsaXR0bGUgYml0XV0='>shake them a little bit</a>, or gloat while dangling them off the roof of a building. The victim is at about as much of a disadvantage as they can be, since they're trapped by a stronger opponent; their air and blood flow is being cut off; losing their connection with the ground robs their strikes of most of their power; the lifter might be so much bigger than the victim that the length of their arm puts their body out of reach of the victim's strikes; and the victim is even prevented from <a class='twikilink' href='/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ManBitesMan' title='/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ManBitesMan' data-format='W1tNYW5CaXRlc01hbiBiaXRpbmddXQ=='>biting</a> to escape. </p><p>The neck lift is a popular <a class='twikilink' href='/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CharlesAtlasSuperpower' title='/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CharlesAtlasSuperpower' data-format='Q2hhcmxlc0F0bGFzU3VwZXJwb3dlcg=='>Charles Atlas Superpower</a> when done by a normal human, as the way it's classically depicted (easily lifting the victim off the ground with one hand, and effortlessly holding them at arm's length without support) is physically impossible for leverage and balance reasons. If the person you're grabbing by the neck is too far in front of your feet, you would only be using the front and side deltoid muscles to lift and wouldn't be able to "cheat" with movement of the legs and torso for assistance. Furthermore, unless you took a deep lunging step to get your front foot behind their feet and leaned your torso back as you lifted, the sheer leverage of having that much weight so far from your feet and center of gravity would cause you to tip forward as soon as you applied force, preventing you from even beginning to lift them. This is to say nothing of how quickly your deltoids would give out from holding that much weight at arm's length in front of you, if you even had the strength required to lift them up in the first place. Pushing a victim up against a wall makes it more realistic because the wall gets rid of the balance problem, and you only have to push them up along it instead of lifting their full weight. In order to lift a decent-sized, uncooperative person off the ground by the neck without a wall, you might need to be in the same league as a strongman who can push press a 300 pound dumbbell over their head with one hand. What's more, you would need to start with your intended victim as close to your body as possible, lift them straight up using a pressing motion with a lot of "cheating" from your legs and body, and end by locking out with your arm vertical so the weight is transferred from your muscles to your skeleton. </p><p>This trope also usually ignores the fact that in real life, a neck lift victim would need an abnormally robust neck in order to be slowly throttled without taking more immediate and catastrophic damage first. A hand strong enough to keep a secure grip on the neck while lifting the entire body would probably also crush the delicate larynx and trachea in the process, and a violent jerking motion could damage the neck vertebrae or spinal cord. Some media gets around this by having the lifter <a class='twikilink' href='/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AngryCollarGrab' title='/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AngryCollarGrab' data-format='W1tBbmdyeUNvbGxhckdyYWIgZ3JhYiB0aGUgdmljdGltIGJ5IHRoZSBjb2xsYXIgb2YgdGhlaXIgc2hpcnRdXQ=='>grab the victim by the collar of their shirt</a>, essentially using the shirt as a harness to hoist the victim into the air to achieve a similar effect without risking injury... though in that case the victim could possibly escape by <a class='twikilink' href='/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/GivingThemTheStrip' title='/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/GivingThemTheStrip' data-format='W1tHaXZpbmdUaGVtVGhlU3RyaXAgcmFpc2luZyB0aGVpciBhcm1zIGFuZCBzbGlwcGluZyBvdXQgb2YgdGhlIHNoaXJ0XV0='>raising their arms and slipping out of the shirt</a>, assuming the collar doesn't tear off first. A lapel grip also potentially enables the victim to bite the lifter's hand to make them let go, assuming that their mouth isn't covered by their shirt hiking up on them. </p><p>Another variation involves grabbing the <a class='urllink' href='https://i.imgur.com/R2NxJo9.jpg'>"scruff"<img src="https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/external_link.gif" height="12" width="12" style="border:none;" /></a><small>◊</small> of the victim—the clothing behind their neck or shoulder blades—and using that as the grabbing area to lift them. Usually this is only done when the lifter is comically larger than the victim, and isn't so much in the heat of assaulting them as they're saying "Gotcha! Now, what am I going to do with you?" Examples would be a giant guardsman lifting a petite woman whom he caught trespassing, or an <a class='twikilink' href='/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ApronMatron' title='/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ApronMatron' data-format='QXByb25NYXRyb24='>Apron Matron</a> grabbing a disobedient little child who's trying to escape punishment. Like the collar variant it doesn't cause any immediate danger to the victim, as their neck is usually safe when this happens. It would also be more difficult for the victim to twist around enough to bite the lifter's hand compared to the front collar grip. Depending on what the victim is wearing it can lift the hem of their shirt, which especially with females can add a fanservice aspect if it exposes their midriff; even more so if they use the "shed clothes to escape" trick. </p><p>May or may not come directly before a <a class='twikilink' href='/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/NeckSnap' title='/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/NeckSnap' data-format='TmVja1NuYXA='>Neck Snap</a>; typically, though, a Neck Snap is used by an efficient killer who'd be disinclined to waste energy on a grandstanding neck lift.

The way the chokeslam actually works is (like most pro wrestling moves) with the person on the receiving end doing a good bit of the work; they jump up to aid the move. They're also very rarely held in the air for any amount of time, just long enough to get them to the highest point before bringing them down. Often the illusion of holding them for a longer time is presented by having the recipient struggle helplessly for several seconds while their feet are actually still on the ground (the extent of their "resistance" being to grab ahold of the assailant's arm and pretend they're trying to pull it away from their neck), despite the fact that realistically they would be able to fight back just fine. Typically the wrestler delivering the move will have the other hand on the victim's rear end or hip to actively help the jump by pushing upwards, unless he's doing it to two guys at the same time. Because of the way it is done, chokeslams are among the safer moves in professional wrestling, but like pretty much every move, they can still cause concussions and paralysis among other injuries if someone does not know what they are doing, as a Wrestlecrap writer found out the hard way. <a class='twikilink' href='/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DoNotTryThisAtHome' title='/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DoNotTryThisAtHome' data-format='RG9Ob3RUcnlUaGlzQXRIb21l'>Do Not Try This at Home</a>. </li><li> The Amazing Impact is a chokeslam grabbing the back of the neck. The most known user in North America is Matt Morgan, who throws people into the turnbuckle with it. </li><li> Some wrestlers will use a two armed hanging neck lift as a submission hold, although these days it is usually used as a transition to another move, like a chokebomb or a two-handed chokeslam. </li><li> Prior to the popularity of the chokeslam, many wrestlers were known to simply lift their opponents up by the neck and shake them about, usually as a power move. Both faces and heels used this move.

Not recommended for more than a few seconds, due to the risk of strangulation or neck injury, but often unavoidable if the cat must be retrieved from a confined and/or precarious space that humans can't enter. Interestingly, the catchpole's main function is the <em>opposite</em> of this trope; the primary means of restraining an animal is by catching their neck in the loop and pulling them <em>to the ground</em>, holding them in place. This allows for better control of the animal, by means of holding their head in a fixed position so they cannot rear up and try to attack the worker, while also reducing the chance of strangulation by restricting the animal from struggling against the catchpole.<span class="notelabel" onclick="togglenote('note27qut');"><sup>note </sup></span><span id="note27qut" class="inlinefolder" isnote="true" onclick="togglenote('note27qut');" style="cursor:pointer;font-size:smaller;display:none;">Some theorize this has to do with deliberately invoking the animal's natural instincts, since many animals take being forced to the ground as a sign of dominance from a 'pack leader' or competitor.</span> </li><li> Leopards often hold their kills by the neck when they lift them to drag them up a tree. </li><li> U.S. President <a class='twikilink' href='/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/UsefulNotes/AbrahamLincoln' title='/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/UsefulNotes/AbrahamLincoln' data-format='VXNlZnVsTm90ZXMvQWJyYWhhbUxpbmNvbG4='>Abraham Lincoln</a> was a wrestler in his younger days.

This handle, however, is only useful on certain types of vests which are secured to the person wearing it and not, say, simply draped over their shoulders, since, otherwise, pulling on the handle would simply yank it off the officer/soldier wearing it. </li></ul></div> <hr data-format='——' /> </p></div> <div class="lazy-video-script"> <a id="VideoExamples"></a> <div> </div> <div class="video-examples has-thumbnails"> <div class="video-examples-header"> <a href="#feedback" class="font-s float-right text-blue" data-modal-target="login" >Feedback</a> <h3 class="bold">Video Example(s):</h3> </div> <div class="video-examples-featured"> <div class="example_video_box"> <a href="#video-link" data-video-id="nz4ulf" data-video-descrip="One of Bhaal, the God of Murder's many offspring, Sarevok ultimate aim is to assume his dead father's position through mass bloodshed, hunting down his fellow Bhaalspawn to eliminate any potential rivals." data-video-title="Sarevok Anchev" data-video-url="https://d1w6li7s85ibls.cloudfront.net/qvbr/nz4ulf_640x360p_qvbr.mp4" data-mpd-url="https://d1w6li7s85ibls.cloudfront.net/dash/nz4ulf.mpd" data-hls-url="https://d1w6li7s85ibls.cloudfront.net/hls/nz4ulf.m3u8" data-video-thumbnail="https://mediaproxy.tvtropes.org/width/600/https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/13545643516635a412.jpeg" data-video-trope="Main/BlackKnight" data-video-tropename="Black Knight" data-video-approval="APPROVED" data-video-troper-rating="" data-video-average-rating="5.00" data-video-rating-count="6" data-video-media-sources="Main/DramaticThunder,Main/EvilSoundsDeep,Main/GlowingEyesOfDoom,Main/NeckLift,Main/RageHelm,VideoGame/BaldursGate" class="video-launch-link video-overlay-link featured-widget-vid"> <div class="featured-widget-vid-iframe"> <div id="tvtropes_no_volume_player" data-video-image="https://mediaproxy.tvtropes.org/width/600/https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/13545643516635a412.jpeg" data-video-url="https://d1w6li7s85ibls.cloudfront.net/qvbr/nz4ulf_640x360p_qvbr.mp4" data-mpd-url="https://d1w6li7s85ibls.cloudfront.net/dash/nz4ulf.mpd" data-hls-url="https://d1w6li7s85ibls.cloudfront.net/hls/nz4ulf.m3u8" data-controls="0" data-muted="1"> <script> tropes_videos_commands.push(function(){ new_video_project.load_video("tvtropes_no_volume_player", false); }); </script> </div> </div> </a> </div> <h2 class="bold font-l">Sarevok Anchev</h2> <p class="_pmvv-vidbox-descTxt"> One of Bhaal, the God of Murder's many offspring, Sarevok ultimate aim is to assume his dead father's position through mass bloodshed, hunting down his fellow Bhaalspawn to eliminate any potential rivals. </p> <p class='example_row'>Example of:<br><a href="/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BlackKnight"class='trope-example-link'>Black Knight</a></p> </div> <div class="video-examples-thumbs"> <a href="#video-link" data-video-id="9e22h6" data-video-descrip="Thor expresses his anger Tony's use of Loki's sceptre to create Ultron." data-video-title="Thor neck lifts Tony" data-video-url="https://d1w6li7s85ibls.cloudfront.net/qvbr/9e22h6_640x360p_qvbr.mp4" data-mpd-url="https://d1w6li7s85ibls.cloudfront.net/dash/9e22h6.mpd" data-hls-url="https://d1w6li7s85ibls.cloudfront.net/hls/9e22h6.m3u8" data-video-thumbnail="https://static.tvtropes.org/trope_videos_transcoded/images/sd/avengers_ultron_neck_lift_moment_9.jpg" data-video-trope="Main/NeckLift" data-video-tropename="Neck Lift" data-video-approval="APPROVED" data-video-troper-rating="" data-video-average-rating="" data-video-rating-count="" data-video-media-sources="Film/AvengersAgeOfUltron" class="video-launch-link video-overlay-link video-background-image lazy-image" data-src="https://static.tvtropes.org/trope_videos_transcoded/images/sd/avengers_ultron_neck_lift_moment_9.jpg"> <p><span class="bold">Thor neck lifts...</span></p> </a> <a href="#video-link" data-video-id="hqoakg" data-video-descrip="Deadpool is a massive fan of the Juggernaut, listing off his various appearances and excitedly screaming about his awesomeness.
