WTF

>Eighteen participants randomly underwent isokinetic testing at 90 and 180°/s with three different tongue positions: middle position (MID, thrusting on the lingual surface of incisive teeth), lying on the lower arch of the mouth (LOW) and extended up to the palatine spot (UP). Statistical analysis of the data revealed an about 30% significant increase of knee flexion peak torque in UP with respect to MID at both angular speeds.

tldr; keep your tongue pushed up against the roof of your mouth during leg exercises

>keep your tongue pushed up against the roof of your mouth
If you're not doing this by default in everyday life, where the fuck do you place it? I don't get it.

>>42315601
how the fuck do u do it

>>42318551
Are you a mouth breather, by any chance?
Because that's the only time when the tongue is down, when you really need to get that big gulp of air.
The rest of us normal folk keep it up, right behind the top front teeth.

Doing this hurts the shit out of my jaw muscles for more than 10 seconds. Am I doing it wrong or do I need to keep practicing?

>>42318698
Create a vacuum in your mouth. Minimal saliva and no air. Then the tongue should stick effortlessly to the roof. No tensed muscles.

>>42318698
Your palette probably isn't broad enough. Try to press your tongue on the roof of your mouth and press out on the inner sides of your teeth. Keep doing this all hours of the day except when you're eating and talking.

>>42315616
I don't even pay attention to the position of my tongue 99% of the time. I just kinda let it lay in my mouth I guess.

>>42318676
everyone can do that

>>42319393
Not him, but not everyone can do that. "Only" like 80-85 percent of the population can.
