Maintaining masseter muscle

[Venommm_]

So I’ve been chewing for 5 months and made good gains. However now I want to maintain what I have built and am not sure how to go about it. I have both mastic and falim gum but have been using mastic the most

I used to chew for around 2h 5x a week to build muscle, however I’m now considering chewing 3x a week for 30m with mastic. Would that still be too much for maintenance/would that still be building muscle? Just need general advice on what I should do to maintain what I’ve built lol

what were you chewing before mastic?

I just chew 2x week 2h to maintain. I’ve found even if I forget and I lose the gains then they come back very quick due to muscle memory.

Yeah muscle memory is also a factor. What do you chew to maintain?

Falim for about a month or so

Too much and if you have fillings it will destroy them

How so? Isn’t the general baseline for maintenance of any muscle to train it 1x a week with moderate load anyway?

just keep your normal calorie intake a train to sustain
