Anyone know any good chewing routines?

Just got some hard gum from Amazon. Anytime I clench my jaw my lower third looks more square like instead of round. I put two and two together and determined that masseter hypertrophy might boost me up probably like .25 psl points.

@SayNoToRotting thoughts?

Good that you ask, because there a many ways one can fuck up chewing

1. chew for 1 hour max
2. move your jaw up and down like a crocodile, don't rotate your jaw joint

both help to prevent TMD

I have been chewing on... hard stuff (dog sticks) for 1 week now, and I haven't got any issue with the jaw joint, unlike many others who try chewing.

chew for 1 hour max

How long per day and week? I'm thinking 30 minutes on each side 3 times a week like @StudyHacks did. I usually rotate sides every 5 minutes.

What about open mouth chewing? Is it better?

sounds like a big waste of time

every day for 1 hour. I would chew on both sides simultaneously, I just wouldn't risk straining the joint of the non chewing side of the jaw.

that's what I do
