Cranial strain is not a matter of how you expand. It's a matter of whether or not your body allows the cranium to unwind properly during the expansion. It's the soft tissue, i.e. musculature, the fascia, ligaments etc. that hold the cranium together. The phenomenon is also known as cranial extension/flexion. These movements are tied to breathing and overall posture, and the sphenobasialar joint is in central role in it.
So what ive said lol
Your claim was that asymmetry will definitely occur in expansion. And it will, so long as you aren't adressing the underlying postural mechanisms that are pulling your structure into asymmetrical form. Blindly relying on doctors is retarded. Though if the patient is retarded too, it makes no difference.
Okay okay.
You would want to increase flexion on your extended side, since increasing flexion seems to be synonymous with expansive body posture and inhalation. and extension with contracted body posture and (chronic) exhalation, which to me are symptoms of failing posture. So someone who is unfit and has weak posture is stuck in the extension pattern, which also leaves their face in a narrow and long form. Having unequal levels of flexion going on in your face hints at a larger postural dysfunction, think of scoliosis.
I do indeed have mild scoliosis, which has evidently led to effects further up from my lower spine. Seems as if I would need to correct the muscle imbalances and dystrophic facial development to maintain non-degenerative posture.
Hmmm, your comments itt are very interesting, lots of stuff I was not aware of before. Ty!
Unfortunately, my nasal airways are too narrow and vertical maxillary excess is too much to even achieve a lip seal, but I hope to see changes in posture and muscle activation once 'fixing' those problems.
The rest are just assorted pics I have collected through the years.
Getting the jaw locked into a balanced resting position by the surrounding muscles is usually what allows the rest of the body to begin realign through exercise.
Can you even keep your mouth shut without straining?
Not without some strain, I believe it's caused by excess anterior maxilla and a lack of chin prominence (will require maxillary impaction and a genioplasty to correct and give proper lip support).
Well, in general you should fix your postural asymmetries. Lip seal is in a helpful role in this process. That being said, I have no idea how legitimate threat cranial strain is with MSE, I just wanted to confirm that it's not complete nonsense.
I WAS WONDERING Because I have assymetry too
When I lip seal my Mentalis muscle hurts a lot cause I have a deep overbite. Is there a way to ease this pain?
Same bro
At the end of the day, a lot of shit is still unknown with whatever us Incels all have. We gotta take it step by step. What I'll do is make sure I expand slowly and do my posture assymetry stretches
I thought semi rapid was the best way to expand and have less assymemety.
Honestly bro, just ascend and live your best life. We'll deal with the affects later
That Guatam Tank dude has some good points but from seeing his comments on other videos, by no means is he a proffesional. I don't even think he himself has Cranial Strain, he probably did online research like us. Not a great source, only good source would be a Cranofacial Surgeon consultation/CT Scan.
Thanks for the valuable insight. It seems nothing in regards to looksmaxing comes without potential downsides. The least one could do is seek guidance through a consultation and be the know to where you stand. like getting blood work I suppose. It's better to be safe than sorry.
Yeah I think he looks worse now too
He did giga expansion. He suffered from severe headaches. Most likely no.
No it's cause he already had a good IMW before and he just went overboard
By any chance do you know what was the IMW he had?
Yeah bro, the dudes who don't go to the gym still ascend after bi-max but they'll most likely have that nerd neck and it'd be out of porportion
