No worries, Tyler. I understand your point, too. You rather "play it safe" rather than risk being wrong.. It's cool man, random thoughts are what build this world after all. For a person that thinks most of his posts we're consisted of BS, you're pretty damn accurate haha! A majority of stuff that you used to write about on here fit perfectly with my research man, that's why I was so disappointed when you labeled that stuff as "New Age BS". I also would like to apologize on my behalf as well, I personally hate the words "quack" and "New Age BS" usually because of where those words initially come from (quackwatch.com & all other sites that are sponsored to bash all alternative therapies in order to keep big Pharma companies alive)
Man, your progress seems impressive bro, especially since you haven't been at it as much as you should be... Kinda makes me think how much more progress you have made if you were to stay on it a bit more. I noticed that, besides the more prominent cheekbones, you're developing that "chiseled square jaw look", something that I truly desire! Your face also appears to be more symmetrical(?) like your septum is more in place or something... One other thing I wanted to note, your masseter muscles seem to be getting bigger? I know your face has in fact "expanded" but you have that chiseled look around the masseter area... Hard to explain, hopefully you understand me lol. But in terms of these masseter muscles seeming bigger: First of all, do you agree that they are increasing in size? & if so, do you think face pulling & NCR did this for you, or do you think/give credit to the facial exercises? I ask because I've seen studies suggesting that kids who wear braces for a certain period of time develop less masticatory muscles (which ties in with all of the NCR, face pulling, Dr. Weston Prices' theories) Also, I have seen this study too

It would make sense that new/remodeled bone would cause new muscles to form, right? I've noticed that close to all actors have prominent masseter muscles which gives them that "chiseled look" What would be your take on this, Tyler?
PS: Has your face grown more outward? Like does your chin/jaw look less recessed from the front/sides? I can't really tell since some of your pics have different lighting. Thanks man!
PS: Yes I would love to know about your success with facial exercises... I have been looking into them for a whike now. It's kind of exciting to actually speak to a person performing them! I've seen some stuff by Tom Haggerty and some woman there... (forgot her name) but they both look great! In case you don't know who he is, Haggerty is about 70-80 something years old and he looks like he is in his early 30's in my opinion. But yea, get back to me when you can.
