Toned face - swimmer

[Upper]

Many times the question has been asked, tips on getting a strong jawline, toned/tight face, but nothing concrete so far.

Recently, I've been hanging out with a group of swimmers and I notice 80% of them have a very nice facial build. Do you think that's just a coincidence, or is swimming something we should look into?

its just generally people that exercise have a toned face, low body fat, higher testosterone

Swimmers just tend to be cut and lean. Therefore there's less of that pudgy fat on their face so you can see their facial structure more clearly.

I don't think testosterone plays a big role in defining your facial structure because many bodybuilders i know don't have a nice face.

Exercise certainly plays a part in toning which is what i'm trying to discuss. In previous threads, it was concluded that exercising will lower your bf and give you a more lean face, but you can't selectively tone down your facial fats.

Many athletes I see still have a rather pudgy face, most swimmers on the other hand do not. Coincidence?

Yes.


There is no link between swimming and masculine jawline. What are you supposing causes it? Chlorine?

Testosterone and bodyfat percentage alone will determine the prominence of your jaw line.
