    I watched Giovanni Segura, Miguel Vasquez, and Alejandro Gonzalez do these today. In fact Capetillo makes all his fighters do this.

    I'm pretty sure there are other muscles in use (to move the body upwards), the jaw has a very short range of motion- I think the lifting of the lower body is to shift the weight to the jaw/add resistance.

    Have you tried a neck harness? I ordered a new one couple days ago.

    I tried them









    They are HARD. At first I kept trying to do a sort of plank pushup on my chin, which i determined is physically impossible.

    Then I rewatched it and realized bradley bridges his hips up first and elevates himself through his cervical spine onto his chin

    They are doable, they also suck ass and I was only able to do 3, and my scalene muscles were definitely feeling it

    I think an isometric hold would be the best way to build strength with this exercise
