Gum Shield when training!

Member 3330, 111 posts SQ 140, BP 110, DL 185 435.0 kgs @ 110kgs UnEq	Does anyone wear a gum shield when training? After yesterdays workout, my jaw is a bit sore and can only theorise that I am grinding my teeth whilst lifting. Would a gum shield help at all?

as crimson as my last victims underclothing..... Member 899, 11368 posts SQ 180, BP 132.5, DL 190 502.5 kgs @ 118kgs UnEq	Head into jjb buddy. They're doing a mouthguard right now by a company that produces them for athletics as well as contact sports. The "mouthpiece" is smaller, less invasive and designed strictly so that you can bite down whilst exerting yourself.

my wood got all bloody Member 1001, 5711 posts SQ 240, BP 160, DL 272.5 672.5 kgs @ 102.5kgs UnEq	I use one for my top sets else I grind my teeth. I've actually broken a tooth that way. Gum sheild takes a little getting used to but I wouldn't go back.

Member 3148, 473 posts SQ 180, BP 145, DL 210 535.0 kgs @ 87kgs UnEq	wen i go heavy i have to, i grit my teeth really hard, years of biting down on a gumsheild (and lots of eating) given me strong jaw muscles, and i have fillings in some of my teeth and its given me sensitive teeth so i have to use a gum sheild. im used to it from years of fighting, i find it helps with breathing, other guys tend to find it a hinderance. i find the type of gumsheild helps, you do get what u pay for, i got dentist made for £35, perfect fit and had it years, ive also tried your £2.99 from sports ditect and your shock doctors and i find not only are they a pain in the ass to mould, they can become loose fitting and due to unnatural shape be a hinderance, only way to find out is get on. if you can afford it, get a dentist one mate, worth the pay out in my opinion

The idea of a "non-contact" mouthguard starts alarm bells ringing straight away; the fact it is £40 suggests it comes with a packet of magic beans. I do, however, have a crash helmet for sale if anyone is interested. It is purely ornamental and has slight damage from a nerf gun, but is yours for £350.

If what it says it does is true then its a bargain. They claim: up to 20% increase in strength up to 25% reduction in lactic acid up to 12% increase in reaction time am I right to be just a little sceptical?
