I can, and I'm the least bendy person ever. Touching my toes gets me a third of the way down my shins.

Surely even a fat bastard can do it ?

Having a huge pair of knockers might be a problem though.

Ok. Fair enough.

'I can because, despite my surfmatt chest and extraordinary upper body strength' I can't see how this would ever be a thing.

Despite just being asked if I had worms*

*Rice cakes with peanut butter is diet food, right?

If you shout for help maybe someone will come and loosen the restraints.

I used the elbows together with hands pronated then raised above my head with a finger tip hold on an edge just above head height. Managed to free a some sort of trapped nerve doing it for a week or so. I now do it twice a week to make sure nothing twangs back.

I can, and I'm a two-sets-of-handcuffs build. Something wrong with the OP I reckon.

Yes - they can cross over by quite a margin, too. And knockers make no difference that I can see - just do it above or below them if they are in way???

Not a chance, without a lot of pain. Separated shoulder. 🙁

But based on how far in I can get the left one, would not have been a problem 2 months ago.
