Research Studies Prove You’re Lifting at 85% Power Without This Mouthpiece

Research Studies Prove You’re Lifting at 85% Power Without This Mouthpiece

I’ve lifted for years.

Like most serious lifters, I tracked everything. Training splits, macros, sleep, even hydration.

And still, I hit a plateau.

I wanted to lift more weight (at my age and without peptides or TRT, that’s not easy), so I could increase my muscle mass and set new PRs without wasting another year grinding with no real progress.

I began researching and came across these 3 studies.

  1. The Effect of Remote Voluntary Contractions on Knee Extensor Torque
    (Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, vol. 40, no. 10, 2008, pp. 1805–1809. Ebben, William P., David H. Leigh, and Christopher F. Geiser. https://doi.org/10.1249/MSS.0b013e31817dc4ad)

  2. Effects of Mouthguards on Vertical Dimension, Muscle Activation, and Athlete Preference: A Prospective Cross-Sectional Study.
    (Journal of Athletic Training, Nov.–Dec. 2015. Gage, C. C., K. C. Huxel Bliven, R. C. Bay, J. S. Sturgill, and J. H. Park. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26545275/)

  3. Effects of Jaw Clenching While Wearing a Customized Bite-Aligning Mouthpiece on Strength in Healthy Young Men.
    (Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research, 30 Apr. 2016. Buscà, B., J. Morales, M. Solana-Tramunt, A. Miró, and M. García. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27003454/)

I realized I wasn’t tapping into my full physiological potential.

The reason? My jaw alignment and bite.

Most people overlook the jaw, but as I dug into biomechanics, one thing became clear:

Jaw position directly affects posture, stability, and force output.

If your jaw is unstable under load, your nervous system holds back. If it’s aligned and braced, your spine tightens, your core activates, and your entire lift becomes more powerful and efficient.

“Your jaw controls your posture. Posture controls your power. That’s the chain.”
 — Dr. Anil Makkar

Fast forward a year, the 6DS Weight Lifting Mouthpiece was created.

We designed it to stabilize the jaw in six planes of motion. Forward/back, side to side, up/down, rotation, pitch, and roll.

Once I used it under heavy load, everything changed:

My deadlift felt tighter. My squats were more stable.

And I added more reps and weight I wasn’t able to grind out before.

I knew it worked for me.

But I wanted proof it could work for others.

So my team and I ran a controlled study with real lifters.

And the results confirmed it: the 6DS mouthpiece increases both max weight and reps to failure.

In squats, women showed a significant improvement in total reps.

Even on upper body lifts like the shoulder press, the 6DS outperformed in endurance.

Fast forward a few more months, some of the strongest men in the world like Nick Best, other world champion powerlifters, and even Olympic athletes started to use a 6DS mouthpiece.

You’ve got your program. Your belt. Your wraps. Your sleep dialed in. But if your jaw is misaligned, you're leaving power on the table.

So here’s what you need to know if you’re not understanding how this mouthpiece works:

Getting the perfect fit takes just a few minutes. Here’s how to do it:

  • Step 1: Boil water and pour it into a cup. Let it sit for 30 seconds.
  • Step 2: Drop the 6DS mouthpiece into the hot water for 60 seconds.
  • Step 3: Carefully remove it with tongs and shake off excess water.
  • Step 4: Place it on your bottom teeth and bite down firmly. Use your fingers to press it against the front and sides of your teeth. Suck in air to tighten the fit.
  • Step 5: Hold for 30 seconds, then remove and place it in cold water to set the shape.
  • Step 6: Test the fit. It should feel snug, not tight—and stay in during training without effort.

Lock in. Lift stronger. Get more out of your session.

If you’re serious about progress, stop leaving power on the table.
