Intro:

Today we’re going to learn about how to sharpen jawline (for men) now let’s begin…

The jawline is one of the most attractive male features. Countless studies have proven that the jawline is a powerful sexual characteristic, one study published by the royal society of London in 2011 showed that a chiseled (sharpen) jawline communicates raw masculinity, it attracts attention from the opposite sex on a biological evolutionary level. Men with strong sexual characteristics tend to have better genetics so they attract a greater volume of mates, other studies explain how a chiseled (sharpen) jawline expresses strength, trust, and ruggedness. With a strong jawline, your face leaves a powerful impression on anyone you meet, people with weak chins and jawlines are viewed as naive and submissive while those with strong features communicate reliability, maturity, and power. Everyone has seen these chiseled jawlines in movies and tv shows, you find these jawlines on battle-hardened warriors, rugged cowboys, and charismatic leaders because a chiseled jawline shows strength from the get-go.

How do you improve your jawline?

In this article, I am gonna explain why the shape of your face changes and how you can build your own chiseled jawline. Most people think the jawline revolves around the mouth and chin but your jaw extends all the way around your face from ear to ear so the muscles that define your jawline stem from both the face and the neck these neck muscles rarely get any attention. Just think about the last time you went to the gym you worked on your arms and shoulders you engaged the muscles in your core but how much time did you spend strengthening the front of your neck?… Probably none but these are the muscles that define your jawline.

Many men, even those who exercise regularly, may have a weak and droopy jawline. Your shoulders and biceps may be large, but your chin would still look round and underdeveloped. According to experts, this inattention is also a common cause of neck muscle pain. In the front part of the neck, they are very underdeveloped, they might weaken your posture and cause annoying headaches, but what muscles are we talking about?… The muscles which define your chin/jawline, without them your head cannot even move in any direction. What will happen, when you strengthen these muscles?… By training the front part of your neck, You can see a lot of changes, you will get rid of neck and chin pain. Proper exercise could decrease the pain of your neck and chin while mitigating those headaches, it improves your jawline as well. Stronger neck muscles will sharpen the line of your chin. It also reduces the excess fat in the neck by sculpting for the clear chin which you have been looking for.

Q1: What exercises target and train the muscles at the front of your neck?

Our first exercise as well as the other two we’re going to cover can be done almost anywhere. All you need is a free space on the floor and about 10 minutes of your time.

Exercise 01: Collar Bone Backup

Just sit on the floor with your back straight and your knees bent at a 90-degree angle. Now, relax your hands on your knees, straighten your neck, and try to imagine a straight line from the bottom of your spine to the top of your head. This is your initial position. Then, move your head back and forth to keep it level with the floor.

• Pushing forward should straighten the chin and bend the neck muscles outward.
• Pulling back should bend the chin and bend the same neck muscles inwards.

Now, switch between these two positions and let your neck muscles relax briefly between each repetition. The purpose of this is to contract and relax the muscles around your chin line, just like all the exercises I will let you know today. This exercise has nothing to do with strength or speed. When you experience any kind of pressure or pain, remember to stop. When everything looks strong and healthy, repeat this exercise for 3 sets. When you are sure that your head remains in each position, try to push forward or backward for 15 to 20 seconds at a time. With this exercise, you will directly exercise the front muscles of the neck and start tightening your chin or jawline.

Exercise 02: Neck Curl-Up

In this exercise instead of sitting, you’re going to start by laying down on the floor. Place your back on the floor and raise your knees to a 90-degree angle as before. Now, imagine you’re about to do a sit-up but instead of engaging your core you’re flexing the muscles in your neck. To do a neck curl upstart by raising your tongue to the roof of your mouth then bring your chin to your chest by pulling your chin inward. Keeping your chin tucked in and raise your head off the ground you don’t have to raise your head very high, only a couple of inches then slowly bring it back to the floor. The goal of this exercise is not to challenge your back or core so don’t worry about lifting your shoulders. Simply tuck and raise your head using the muscles in your neck and just like last time go slow and be mindful of any soreness or pain if you feel anything then stop, the last thing you want to do is to strain your neck. Now, if your neck feels strong then start with three sets of ten neck curls ups, you can gradually increase those numbers over time but three sets of ten is a good place to start.

Exercise 03: Chin-Up

Many people think that chin-ups are some kind of pull-ups, but this workout is quite different. Despite raising your body, the chin-up revolves completely around your chin. For beginning this exercise, sit cross-legged while straightening your back. Now, think of the line from the bottom of the spine to the top of the head. In the last two exercises, you used the neck muscles to move the entire head, but this time you will do something different. Do not move, only move the chin and jaw. Now, straighten your chin forward, lift your lower lip above your upper lip, keep on this position for about 10 seconds, and then return your chin to be a relaxed position. This may sound strange at first, your jaw is not used to this exercise, but this slight discomfort will disappear over time. Repeat this exercise 3 sets of 15 times. It engages muscles around the chin and face, these muscles play an equally important role in the shape of your chin line.

With these muscle group exercises, you can soon, improve the chin line, but neck exercises are not the only way to create a clear chin line. The tongue plays a major role in the shape of your face. Without even realizing it, You may have developed a destructive habit of breaking the jawline.

Q2: Do you know where your tongue is supposed to rest inside your mouth?

Most of us relax our tongues on the floor of our mouths but this lazy posture actually hurts the shape of our jaw.

Tongue on the floor of your mouth:

• Increases mouth breathing
• Pushes the jaw backward
• Shrinks your airways

But what happens when you rest your tongue on the roof of your mouth.

Tongue on the roof of your mouth:

• Your jaw scoots forward
• Your airways open up
• You breathe easier out of your nose

Q3: How do you train your tongue to rest in a different position?

Well, the process of retraining your tongue is called mewing.

Mewing:

Mewing is when you rest your tongue on your palate instead of the floor of your mouth. Now at first mewing feels pretty awkward, over the years your muscles train themselves to adopt certain habits. If your tongue is always rested on the floor of your mouth well, that’s going to feel far more natural but your muscles can be retrained by mewing consistently. Your muscles will learn to rest your tongue on the roof of your mouth, as your habits begin to change the shape of your face will follow, your jawline will gradually become sharper and better defined all because you corrected this lazy habit.

Q4: Can we perform neck exercises and mewing at the same time?

Yup!… you can perform neck exercises and learn mewing at the same time both of these habits in tandem will refine your jawline but these two options aren’t the only jaw-building strategies out there as your neck and jaw muscles get stronger you can take advantage of jaw exercising tools.
