 Member 3330, 111 posts SQ 140, BP 110, DL 185435.0 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, 11329 posts SQ 180, BP 132.5, DL 190502.5 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 272.5672.5 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 210535.0 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 | ||

At £40 it isnt cheap! 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?  | ||
