Imagine a world where we treat our faces like we treat our bodies at the gym
a place dedicated to strengthening and reshaping the skull and facial structure through intentional pulling and clenching exercises.
Our ancestors once practiced these motions naturally
When tearing into tougher foods, they applied forward and upward forces on their skulls. This encouraged proper nasal breathing, stronger jawlines, and sharper facial features.
Modern diets and habits have led to softer foods and less facial engagement
Over time, without the ancestral pulling motions, our faces began to “melt” downward. The lack of upward and forward tension on the skull allowed it to grow in a downward direction, making nasal breathing more difficult and facial structures less defined.
Incisors, in a more primal setting, grew sharp to tear at raw hides
Just as animals like lions and foxes rely on powerful jaw forces to strip meat from bone, humans once performed similar actions. These natural movements encouraged balanced skull growth, aligned jaws, and healthier breathing patterns.
In today’s world, we lost these habits
Many people’s faces droop as their bones settle downward from lack of tension. The sutures of the skull follow the path of least resistance—if no force pulls them up and forward, they simply grow down, creating less room for nasal passages to function optimally.
Cultural differences highlight this shift
In some places, children still bite into whole carrots and apples, exercising their facial muscles regularly. In others, soft foods dominate, leading to weaker jawlines and a higher tendency to mouth-breathe, especially during sleep. Allergies and poor airway function only compound the problem, reinforcing mouth-breathing as a default.
Reintroducing these pulling forces through “facial gym” exercises
By simulating the motions our ancestors once knew instinctively, we can guide the skull back up and forward.
This mimics the act of tearing tough, fibrous meat from bone
Imagine a human trying to eat a large, barely cooked piece of animal hide with just their hands and teeth. As they pull back, clench, and strain, the bones of the face and around the eyes undergo micro-adjustments over time, reshaping and realigning.
Like working out in a gym, results come over months and yearS
Just as you wouldn’t expect immediate bicep growth after one workout, facial restructuring requires patience and consistency. It’s a process of GYMMAXXING your face—putting in the hours of tension and stress that we lost over generations of softer diets.
You’d be surprised how quickly it feels natural
There’s an instinctive, primal satisfaction to using the face as a tool. It’s as if we are reconnecting with a long-dormant part of ourselves—unlocking a more fundamentally human way of eating and breathing.
This principle is seen in animal skulls too
Lions, foxes, and all feline predators show elongated, powerful skull structures shaped by constant pulling, tearing, and clenching. The mechanical forces of survival sculpt their faces into functional and striking forms.
The skull is a helmet for the brain, housing our senses and identity
A sharper, more defined face appeals to human aesthetics because it signals strength, character, and vitality. We perceive these traits as more “primal,” more intrinsically human, forging a deeper connection to our evolutionary roots
Consider the examples of traditional African tribes
Some cultures are known to reshape the skull from childhood, using boards, wraps, or other devices to gradually mold the head’s form. This demonstrates that, given enough time and consistent pressure, the human skull’s sutures can and will adapt. While traditional methods focus on reshaping skull contours, this principle suggests that with deliberate pulling motions applied over many hours, even a forward shift of up to 2 cm is not out of the question—jjfl.
In essence, the “facial gym” concept allows us to reclaim what we lost
By exercising our jaws and skulls in deliberate, ancestral ways, we regain the ability to breathe better through our noses, develop more aesthetically pleasing facial features, and rediscover our instinctive human nature.
I PRESENT TO YOU FACE ROWING (FACEPULLING IMPROVED THAT WORKS ACCORDING TO LAWS OF SCIENCE AND BONE REMODELLING)
The idea is to bite into a belt or a thick towel placed at the back of the palate, stabilizing it with the feet, and gradually apply tension by pulling with the hands in a forward and upward direction.
Step-by-step approach to incremental force application:
Start Slowly:
Gradual Increase:
Short Sets, Limited Frequency:
Why slow progression is essential
Sutures—those fibrous joints that connect the bones of the skull—are extremely tough and fibrous. Although they can be influenced over time, they are not designed to move quickly. Rushing the process can lead to unbearable headaches and potential inflammation. By starting lightly and gradually increasing tension, you encourage the sutures to remodel safely, slowly opening space for bones to shift.
Neck strength as a foundation
When pulling forward and upward, your head will naturally want to tilt or rotate with the force. To counteract this, you need a strong neck to anchor the skull in place. Imagine your neck muscles as the stabilizing platform, preventing your head from simply following the pull, so the targeted bones (maxilla, facial bones around the eyes, cheekbones) receive the intended upward and forward force.
Proper bite placement is crucial
To affect the mid-face bones and areas around the eyes, you must bite onto something placed just before the wisdom teeth. This positioning ensures that the pulling force is distributed across the hard palate and maxilla, transferring tension upward toward the orbital rims (around the eyes) and outward toward the cheekbones. Over time, this encourages your cheekbones to “pop” out more, giving a more defined and lifted appearance.
Testing your potential facial structure (a quick check)
With your fingers, try lifting the soft tissues of your cheeks upward until the fat pads rest higher on the face and your mid-face appears more defined. Notice how your breathing through the nose suddenly feels less strained, and your smile looks more natural and effortless. This is a hint of what your permanent facial structure could be if your bones were guided upward and forward—right now, your muscles and soft tissues must strain to lift what should be naturally supported by bone.
Primal instinct
In a more primal context, our ancestors would have been constantly engaged in activities that applied forward and upward forces on the skull (like tearing raw, fibrous foods from animal hide). This continuous stress guided facial growth naturally. Modern, softer diets removed these forces, causing faces to droop downward, narrowing the airway and making nasal breathing harder.
The skull and face can adapt over time. The key is patience, consistency, and a gradual ramping up of effort, guided by principles deeply rooted in our evolutionary past. (from 18 under 25 you're good, it will just take more effort the older you are) (younGCELS UNDER 18 DO NEVER TRY YOU WILL BREAK YOUR FACE AND BECOME DISFIGURED)

Start Slowly:
[B]In the first two weeks, begin by pulling with a low-to-moderate force. Your goal is to ease the sutures into their new range of motion. Pull gently, clench, and hold for 2-3 seconds at 100% of your current comfortable strength level.[/B]Gradual Increase:
After two weeks, once the sutures have “woken up” and begun to respond, you can slowly increase the hold time. Move from holding for 2-3 seconds to 5 seconds. This progression must be done cautiously to avoid severe headaches and other strains.Short Sets, Limited Frequency:
