Survey - can you do this with the muscles under your jawline?

[Whitewash]

This is going to seem bizarre, but I wanted to do a survey of how many people are able to do this with the muscles under their jawline It's where your double chin would be - though you don't need a double chin to be able to do this. I'm 5'8, 150 pounds and I'm the one in the video. I have a friend even thinner than I am that can also do it.

Please answer the poll regardless of whether you can or not.

From a small sample size I've taken, it seems like this is an oddity that only a minority of people are able to do. If you can do it, please describe your body build, and any other information.

Thank you for allowing me to waste 60 seconds of your time.

No, but I bet I spend time in the near future trying to figure out how.

Haha, it's not something that I tried to do, it's just something I randomly realized I could do a few years ago.

People who can't do it just end up trying to puff their cheeks out or do something not even related to the muscles in that area. You should know quickly if you can or not.

I know what you're doing and I can sort of do it, but I don't have the muscle control to do it as much as you can.

I honestly have no idea why I can do it. I'm not sure if maybe the muscles in that area are not as tightened as most people, or there is some weird kind of extra muscle only some people have, or what.

yes i can do it.

I'm 5'10", about 165. No double chin.

I don't see what weight has to do with this. I'm 375lbs, and I can do it. (The idea that this was something that most people can't do never occured to me.)

yes i can do it. 5'5" 120 lbs. Press the center of your tounge on the roof of your mouth and press up and out twords your teeth at a 45 degree angle. Be sure to press with the center of your tounge, not the outside edges.
