Obviously clenching your jaw would be an effective way to induce hypertrophy, but this has obvious drawbacks. I've been doing "hard mewing" for a little while now and I recently developed the strength to exert considerable force from my jaws while resisting with the back third of my tongue. I was thinking that this would be an effective isometric exercise for masseter growth without any of the drawbacks that come from the force being placed on the teeth.
I was wondering if anybody here has done this consistently for a long period, and if so what were the results?
*edit* So this is basically the isometric equivalent of chewing. It just requires a lot of tongue strength and endurance. I also suspect that this may be a good way to circumvent any TMJ issues.
