Excellent product. I had tweaked my neck on heavy cable rows a few years ago, leaving a lingering injury for months. After using the 6DS - this most recent purchase is my third one or so - it really seems to keep my neck centered, neutral, and stable, so I can exert myself without worry. My neck since healing might not be the 6DS's doing, but I haven't tweaked it since employing the 6DS. With my current order, I had an issue with the case, and their customer service responded to my email in literal minutes, providing a resolution to my concern. It's great to see such exceptional customer service and to see the company stand firmly behind their product. The only caveat I'll offer is some of the cases might not lock securely, so until they've upgraded the cases, getting a cheap retainer case here on Amazon for a few bucks is worth considering, or test out your case before going to the gym, and if the closure seems weak, perhaps put a rubber band on it. That said, I still wholeheartedly recommend the 6DS, as it's helped maintain the health of my neck when exerting myself close to failure on my heavier sets, and it does seem to allow that little bit of extra force production, which - when compounded over years of training, only adds to my progress in the gym.

I got these because I was looking for a mouth guard that didn't get in the way. Most sports mouth guard require a closed jaw, forcing me to breath through my nose or awkwardly breath through my mouth. These were supposed to leave the mouth open to breath freely. First thing first: There were a lot of reviews on here about how the fitting process destroys the mouthpiece or otherwise makes it a mess. THIS IS NOT TRUE. Those posters have mentioned that boiling it melts it. This is true, but you are NOT SUPPOSED TO BOIL IT. You boil water, then transfer the water in to a glass bowl, *then* place though mouthpiece in the water. I followed the instructions and everything was done perfectly, easily, and on the first try. Moving on to practicality, the mouthpiece took a little getting used to, but not much. By my third day lifting with it I was adjusted to having it in my mouth. It makes it hard to swallow, but since my teeth are separated I can breath very freely. It fits well, and it's uncomfortable. I got this to protect my teeth since I clench during heavy lifts and was concerned about cracking something. The mouthpiece accomplishes this perfectly. I can bite down as hard as I'm inclined to without pain or fear of dental damage. One less thing to worry about when working out. As far as the claim that it helps you lift stronger, I haven't noticed any difference. Not even a few pounds. I've been lifting for year, and maybe a beginner would notice a difference? But since it's marketed to heavy lifters I would say the claim, in my experience, is untrue. I've seen several people on lifting forums stating it made no difference for them either, but there are a handful who say they thought it worked a little. Take it as you will, but don't expect anything magic.

So I have been lifting for a few years. BY NO MEANS AM I A PRO but I needed something to help protect my teeth. I did a little research and found this mouthpiece. I have used it twice now after going through the fitting process. I LOVE THIS THING! Pros: protects my teeth Helps me focus on my lift and not on how I’m clenching my teeth so I feel stronger and have a better mind muscle connection. It’s small enough that you can somewhat speak with it in your mouth. (It’s a chunk of rubber in your mouth it’s not going to be 100% comfortable) but it is comfortable for its size. I LOVE THE FACT YOU CAN BOIL THIS THING AND IT FORMS TO YOUR TEETH! (Instructions are boil water, DONOT BOIL THE MOUTHPIECE!! Pour boiling water into a bowl, place mouthpiece in the bowl for 35 seconds and pull it out with a fork or spoon and pop it in your mouth and bite down for about 20 seconds. (Don’t worry it’s not really hot) And boom you ready to go. Cons: the only con I have noticed is that they recommended replacing after 60 days or 80 hours of lifting. If you can afford 40 bucks every two months then no biggy. But if you workout for two hours a day then that’s 50 cents per gym sesh. Kinda expensive… It’s up to you either your teeth or a insurance policy. HAPPY LIFTING!

This thing really works! I lift heavier, aligns my neck, and strengthens my jaw. Also helped eliminate my sleep apnea.

This is my first review ever. I’m giving it a one star because of disappointment. I’ve been considering a New Age performance mouth piece for a while. Advertisements for them pop up on my social media regularly. I have severe TMJ. I made the decision to order one from Amazon, hoping for a faster delivery. All the descriptions on Amazon were for improving sports performance, but I could see they were the same products that were being promoted for issues like I have on social media. Unfortunately, because it wasn’t clear the differences in the mouthpieces I ordered the wrong one. I can’t use it and of course it’s not returnable. So my complaint is that there descriptions on Amazon are not sufficient. I’m very disappointed because I had hopes this would be a suitable and effective product for nighttime wear.

Excellent product I recommended highly get that extra bite force to get the weights up

Loved the mouthpiece but the case closure is faulty on mine. Got to use my mouthpiece for 2 days before it got lost. I made sure to snap tge case shut but mine opened on its own walking out the gym and now my mouthpeice is lost somewhere in the gym. Looking at the case post loss mine just doesnt secure shut very well. Like the plastic is too short? So if youre gunna buy one get a different brand case and youre set. So for now Im out the money with a faulty cause and no mouthpeice.

I swear by this product. I saw noticeable difference in my power output and breathing. You can literally pant while clenching. If you’re a clencher like me and bite down really hard while lifting this is for you. No only am I confident in clenching but I feel naked without it. I ALWAYS use this mouth piece on my heavy lifting days. I also use this mouth guard when practicing BJJ and Muay Thai. It’s like a binky a baby won’t drop. It does wear out in about 6-12months of constant use and starts to become uncomfortable but I’m so use to it it doesn’t even phase me. I’ve been using this specific mouth guard since October of 2020 and I won’t ever stop using it. I’m not superstitious when it comes to these things and I like to have proven reliability in their claims. You’re not gonna see like 20lbs increases in your lifts but I noticed a minimum of 5-10lbs easy on my land lifts just be using it no joke. I notice that I don’t fatigue my upper neck and traps from clenching as much either because I’m able to bite down on the guard. Idk my ONLY complaint is I wish it was more comfortable and that it doesn’t start to wear about the first 6 months, however I use VERY frequently roughly 4x a week for 1-2 hour sessions.
