hey everyone and welcome to top think today we're going to learn about how to have a chiseled
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 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 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
so how do you improve your jawline in this video we're going to 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 work out on a regular basis have droopy weak jawlines you may have huge shoulders
and biceps but your jawline would still look round and underdeveloped according to some experts this
lack of attention is also a common source of neck pain the muscles at the front of your neck are so
underdeveloped that they may weaken your posture and cause irritating headaches but which muscles
are we talking about exactly well the specific muscles that define your jawline start around
your collarbones and sternum and they attach all around your jaw bone without them your head
couldn't move up down forward and back like it does right now so what happens when you strengthen
these muscles well as you exercise the front of your neck you may notice a variety of changes
proper exercise can reduce any pain in the neck and jaw while mitigating those pesky headaches
now of course it changes the shape of your jawline too stronger neck muscles will sharpen the lines
of your jaw you'll get rid of any droopy excess fat around your neck sculpting the strong jawline
that you've been looking for 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 you
don't need weights or heavy machinery to better define the muscles in your neck all you need
is yourself a free space on the floor and about 10 minutes of your time the first neck exercise
is called the collar bone back up just take a seat on the floor sit with your back straight and your
knees bent at a 90 degree angle now relax your arms on top of your knees and straighten your neck
try to imagine a straight line from the bottom of your spine to the top of your head
this is your starting position now gently move your head forwards and backwards so that your
head always remains level with the ground pushing forward should extend your chin and flex your neck
muscles outward pulling back should tuck in your chin and flex the same neck muscles inward now
alternate between these two positions allowing your neck muscles to briefly relax in between
each repetition the goal of this exercise is to contract and relax the muscles around your jawline
like every exercise we're going to cover today this workout isn't about strength or speed
you need to go slowly be mindful of any kind of pain in your neck or jaw and remember to stop
if you notice stress or soreness of any kind if everything feels strong and healthy then repeat
this exercise in 3 sets of 10. once you feel confident holding your head in each position try
pushing forward or pulling backward for 15 to 20 seconds at a time with this exercise you target
those frontal neck muscles directly and begin tightening your jawline the second exercise
is called the neck curl up instead of sitting you're going to start by laying down on the floor
lay your back flat on the ground and just like before bring your knees up to a 90 degree angle
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 up start 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
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 curl ups you can gradually increase those
numbers over time but three sets of ten is a good place to start our third and final neck exercise
is the chin up most people think of chin ups as a kind of pull-up but this exercise is something
completely different instead of raising your body the chin up revolves entirely around your chin
to start this exercise sit cross-legged on the floor now straighten your back and imagine that
straight line from the bottom of your spine to the top of your head in the past two exercises
you moved your entire head using the muscles in your neck this time you're going to do something
a little bit different try to keep your head still and move only your jaw and chin now extend
your jaw forward and lift your lower lip over your upper lip hold this position for 10 seconds then
bring your chin backwards into a relaxed position now this one may feel a bit strange at first your
lower jaw isn't used to this kind of movement but that slight discomfort will disappear over time
repeat this exercise in 3 sets of 15. unlike the previous two which exclusively targeted
the muscles at the front of your neck this one also engages muscles around the face and chin
these muscles play an equally important role in the shape of your jawline by exercising these
muscle groups on a regular basis you can improve your jawline in no time but neck exercises aren't
the only ways to build a chiseled jawline the tongue also plays a very important role in the
shape of your face without realizing it you may have picked up a destructive habit that ruins your
jawline 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 your jaw it
increases mouth breathing pushes the jaw backwards and it shrinks your airways but what happens when
you rest your tongue on the roof of your mouth your jaw scoots forward your airways open up and
you breathe easier out of your nose so how do you train your tongue to rest in a different position
well the process of retraining your tongue is called 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 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 a dense substance
called mastic gum can sculpt your jawline by engaging a combination of muscles in your face
chewing mastic gum is like chewing normal gum just significantly harder instead of mastic gum several
companies have created artificial chewing devices like jaws or size or jawline these tools challenge
the developing muscles in your face and neck but be careful both mastic gum and other chewing
tools are designed for stronger more experienced muscles in the beginning stages focus on easier
techniques like newing and neck exercises as your jawline begins to improve you can safely
challenge yourself with more difficult tools by consistently building the muscles in your face and
neck you can create the jawline that you've always wanted but be patient be cautious and thorough
and that way you can sculpt your ideal jawline without getting hurt along the way hey thank you
