your elbows in front of you?
I can’t, no matter how hard I try 🙁

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

What with?

Anyone else open the thread expecting…

What with?

Together, in front of you…

Yup.

yes

Even I can do that and I’m the most worn out 37 year old. Ever.

Yes. Because I’m not a fat bastard.

Why is that supposed to difficult?

Because I’m not a fat bastard

I’m not a fat bastard either but I can only get them to about 3″ apart.

It’s your nose with your elbow that’s the tricky one..

Yes. Because I’m not a fat bastard.

Surely even a fat bastard can do it ?

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

stevied have you got a huge pair of knockers ?

Elbows – easy. Toes – need to work up to it

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?

Yep

I can’t, no matter how hard I try

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

Wow, you really can’t?

(Yes here, forearms up, or one on top of other both ways)

I can – But Mrs can’t – boobs get in the way.

Hers or yours?

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.

I can and I have a 46″ chest. Solid muscle obviously………

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???

Rachel

I am of a stocky build and can touch elbows No problems.

OP has one arm ?

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.
