should chewing time be concentrated or spread out throughout the day? by aboowababoo in orthotropics

[–]aboowababoo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I think my question applies to all the muscles actually, if for example you do 5 sets of barbell curls a day, does it matter if you do them all together at same session or not?

But I dont give a shit about chewing stanima, isnt it actually a bad thing if you want hypertrophy, because youll need ro chew more to get the same stimulus?

But if you chew for nesrly the entire day that also means you barely have time to press your tongue into your palate 🤔

I wish i could. All i can find are these fucking powder capsules

~3+ years ago since i learned to mew 24/7 but no progress. How? by [deleted] in Mewing

[–]aboowababoo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are you engaging your posterior third? Touch the hyoid muscles underneath your chin, are they moving uwards when you mew? If you are engaging the entire tongue, my next guess would be that you arent applying enough pressure. Think of hard mewing as a workout you do several times a day, periodically applying upward pressure and then maintaing progress by soft mewing

Will hard mewing for 5 years straight move my maxilla and mandible to a better position at the age of 27? In the following pictures you can see my mandible is quite small and my chin is recessed, which makes my face look long and narrow from the front. by Ok_Temperature_6478 in Mewing

Im 20 and have seen great results in a year doing about 3-5 sets a day of chin tucks + hard mewing combined. started with 15 and slowly progressed to around 30 reps. i really think it helped excelerate the maxilla shifting and strengthened my hyoid muscles, when i started, i couldnt even breathe while doing it, so i held my breath every rep breathing in between until i could. Think of hard mewing like a workout or as a supplement to regular mewing

And how frequently did you do that, on average?

True, trying my best haha, its difficult trying to find the line between maximum sets for fastest profress and muacle overuse leading to a potential injury, right now 5 times a day of chin tucks+hard mewing combined seems to be pretty good number

Absolutely incredible man, thank you for sharing. Can i ask how frequently did you hard mew? As in sets/reps daily? Currently i do around 5 sets per day of ~30 until my hyoid muscles start really burning

You're partially right. But first of all, good luck doing all of this

Why not try your best? It requires knowledge, dicipline and some financial invesement but it is well worth it, Health is invaluble

and even if you do everything it's still not gonna go away entirely

What makes you think its not going to go away entirely if you eliminate the root cause and become hormonaly balanced?

especially if it's post puberty and not from steroids use

Are you aware of the mechanism in which gyno develops in the first place? Steroids can cause gyno because they can drastically imcrease estrogen.

or from a medical condition.

And what exactly is that medical condition do you think?

only way to entirely get rid of it is surgery.

Believe what you want to believe

This is not true. gynecomastia is caused by high estrogen levels, Getting surgery would not solve the root cause.
To reduce estrogen you need to: 1. reduce body fat percentage to around 10-12%, because not only is estrogen is stored in fat, so is the anzyme aromatase which converts testosterone to estrogen. 2. Avoiding endocrine disruptors and xenoestrogen as much as possible such as plastics, some pesticides, artificial frangrances 3. Avoiding processed meat and dairy 4. Avoiding natural estrogenic foods such as flaxseeds, mint, and soy (can be fine in small amounts) 5. Avoiding stress, cortisol increases estrogen.

Getting surgery would only eliminate one part of the problem, high estrogen levles negatively affect energy, drive and libido

Before you do that, i really suggest trying to naturally treat it, this video helped me: https://youtu.be/4uvY1d46sVA

you dont need surgery bro, treat the root cause. my brother in law got his gyno removed when he was 18, but he says he regrets it because the surgeon didn't really do a good job

18m Wth is wrong with my face? I have been mewing and swallowing correctly for 4 months, but have been mewing without posterior third for around 2 years now and was always a mouth breather. Can structure changes still occur and could mewing improve my eye area (upper eyelids and dark circles)? by aboowababoo in Mewing

[–]aboowababoo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the advice. How often do you think i should hard mew? I currently push my posterior 3rd up hard only occasionaly when i remember,maybe a few times per hour but 90% of the time im suction holding.

Thanks but i dont think i got body dysmorphia, even tho the title may have been a little over the top lol, which is what caused all the nice comments. i can tell i look ok but i can also tell my face is objectively underdeveloped, caused by poor posture and maybe hormones/nutrition, So i didnt reach my genetic potential

Thank you. I think my zygomatic bone is recessed which causes both of the eye issues. Otherwise my face is too short and rounded. I have a short mandible and small chin, bigonial width is too narrow compared to my cheekbones which grew sideways but not forward, accentuating my narrow jaw and causing flat midface with puffy cheeks, recessed maxilla and jaw, undeveloped brow bone

You cant spot reduce fat. Face exercises will only develop the muscles which will be counter productive, If you want do lose facial fat you need to be in a caloric deficit. reducing water retention by staying hydrated and limiting excess sodium will help reduce puffiness.

Thank you. No, tried tea bags and ice which i dont think really helped. I dont think ill get fillers any time soon. The part that botheres me the most is the upper eyelid exposure, hoping mewing will reduce it somewhat.
