ChimpGrip Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 I saw a thing on the Internet about old time strongmen lifting weight with their jaws or biting through nails. How can one safely train for greater bite strength? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Pizzo Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Maybe try eating a lot of Beef Shanks or some other tough cut of meat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mephistopholes Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 They typically would lift whatever item they were lifting with a leather strap attached to a chain, from what I understand. They could clamp down on the leather without hurting themselves... As to the biting through nails part, I have no idea. I started a thread on that a while back though...

hellswindstaff Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 (edited) I've done it before and think that a much safer way to do this rather than weight lifting is to chew on tough things like tough roots and whatnot, but not hard enough to damage the teeth.

EricMilfeld Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 And don't bend quarters with your teeth. Had to cap a cracked molar just the other day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellswindstaff Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Edit because I didn't proof read:I've done teeth lifting before but think that there are much safer ways to train the jaw, such as chew on tough things; tough roots, hard rubber, etc. If your gums are sore then it's probably a sign that your teeth are getting looser in the socket.

You can condition bones, skin and tendons. You can't condition teeth. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
