For the masseter & temporalis i use a mouth guard with holes poked through and two really thick shoe laces tied around a dumbbell. You can also use a rope instead of a mouth guard
I feel this is a more effective and cheaper way to train the jaw & temporal muscles than using multiple pieces of gum.
-The Range of motion is greater
-Equal growth on each side
-You will gain strength faster which= muscle
-Easier to track progress
-Shorter training periods than having to chew gum for a longer periods of time daily
-the cost will end up being cheaper in the long run
The muscles of the face are like any other and the progressive overload principles should be used like you would with any other muscle. Progressive overload = muscle growth
Lifting a heavy weight against the force of gravity and making progression over time= muscle growth
You have the mouth guard on the bottom set of teeth over a flannel, so you will have to stick a flannel in your mouth to stop the laces rubbing against the sides of your mouth, a similar one as i have in the pic folded a couple of times. So have the mouth guard resting ontop of the flannel then stick it in your mouth
when doing the biting motion have your head tilted backwards looking at the ceiling, have one arm cradling under the dumbbell (my right arm) and your other arm pushing against the mouth guard (left hand). If you find the weight you're using too easy add more weight to the dumbbell
Open your mouth wide and let your jaw drop down as far as it can, then bite shut.
That counts as one rep
