What are good exercises to strengthen your jaw muscles? (I heard that you could get a big wad of gum, freeze it, then chew it. When it got too easy to chew, you'd freeze it again and repeat.) Also, any other exercises for your face/head muscles?

Pin weights to your eyebrows and scrunch your forehead a few times.

LMAO!
buy an overpriced, overrated protein bar.
if you like chewing on tasteless, thick, cardboard mush it'd be perfect.
...seriously, just eating in general should help you. make sure to chew your food plenty and you'll feel it. chewing gum is good, but you gotta chew it long enough to get tough.You're going to get criticized no matter what you do, especially if you're trying to achieve something and rise above the flock. Do it anyway. Negative criticism from others is often a sign that you're on your way up in the world.

Yeah, maybe this was a stupid question... I guess the only way to make your jawline more defined is to lower your body fat %, right?

This isnt such a horrible question. I recently had my jaw wired shut from a broken jaw and now that the wires are removed my jaw muscles are atrophied from not being used for a month. I can barely open my jaw the size of a dime right now, but i guess there is no real way of gaining back jaw muscle other than normal eating and chewing gum. If you are trying to gain jaw muscle just simply to get jaw muscle than that is kind of stupid.

Get to the point where you can fit your entire fist in your mouth... then stick one of those grip-strengthener toys between your jaws and have at it.

I once heard one of the Wingbowl champions say he trains his jaw by eating Tootsie Rolls that have been in the fridge. Takeru Kobayashi also used to train his jaw in a similar way, but really hurt the muscles and paralyzed them for a while. Probably not the best idea to do it regularly.

Dumbbell Jaw Raises.
And if you want a bigger neck, try dumbbell jaw curls...they work your neck too to some extent.

If this was in misc I would have expected somebody to say something regarding erotic services.
