I sure as hell can't especially not after doin back.

Can you touch the back of your right shoulder with your left or tight hand or vice versa? I can't.

Not tryin to say I'm massive but I consider myslf very flexible. I can almost put my foot behind my head, I can touch my fists to the floor with straight legs, and come about three inches from doin the splits (not scissors splits BTW) so this seems odd to me. NE1 else like this?

In the front or back...LOL Well since I cant get close in the back, I guess you mean the front. And no, I cant touch them there either.
 
nope, i cant touch my elbows together either, and i aint even tryin to do any f**in splits..................:D



peace bb79
 
I just tried but my GIANT PUMPED FOREARMS made contact first, preventing the elbows from coming together.:D

You mean in front, right? In back ... you've got to be kidding.
 
Yeah my forearms hit too! Yes I meant in front.

What about touchin th back of your shoulder. Can you do it?

No can't touch elbows or the backs of my shoulders, but I can do the full splits. Just years of stretching and staying flexible.
 
i cant even get close, my forearms wont even touch either.

i can barely put the back of my collar down when i put my shirt on when im on d-bol. lol

rough life we live

:D
 
Whew!

I thought I was in some serious anti-flexibility trouble.

I can't do any of that. At all. Not even close. Even though I stretch pretty well.

Most guys I know can. But then again... they wouldn't know what a dumbell was if I smashed them in the face with one.
 
I thought this flexability test would be a piece of cake...and then I realized that i've gotten soooo f**kin massive at the end of this killer cycle that I can't even touch my hands together in front of me! My lady has to bring my food to me in the home gym cuz now I'm too big to fit through the damn doorway. Oh wait a minute- that was a dream i had last night. Nevermind.
 
I WISH I COULD...
I CANT SCRATCH THE BACK OF MY HEAD ANYMORE SINCE I STARTED THIS TEST,DECA,DBOL,HGH,TREN,HALO,CREATINE AND HIGH QUALITY MUSCLE TECH STACK!!!!!!!!!
:FRlol: :FRlol: :FRlol: :FRlol: :FRlol:
 
Not even close with the elbow, have trouble flipping my collar down, but touching my shoulders, i'm sad to say I can do both sides, I guess I have some work to do.. I'm doing shoulders/traps tonight, I'll try with a pump...
 
thier's places on my body I can't wash without using a brush

I'll bet Lee Prest has to have his wife wash him !!!
 
damn now i feel reel small. i've just been getting back into lifting after a year off. its a reel tight squeeze, but i can. give one more month or a good cycle and i'll be w/ you all.
damn.
peace bros.
 
Thats funny you posted this. I remember a couple of years ago at work when some dude asked if I could touch my elbows together. At least someone else out there has been asked this. No I cant, not even when someone else tries to squeeze them together. It kills my chest.
 
They go boys, feel a bit in the chest and had to put a bit of pressure to get the forearms out of the way.Touching shoulders is as easy as typing this reply.Stay on top of your stretching boys it prevents injury later on!By the way I go 240, 50 chest,19.5 arm
 
You're telling me that 85% of the members of this board can't touch their elbows together?!? I don't think so. This board is horrible for fuckers padding their stats so they can look tough on-line. As far as is concerned, I'll tell you right now I GUARANTEE that I'm in the upper 50th percentile of all the members. And you know what, I can still touch my elbows together. Just barely, but I still can. Come on guys, grow the fuck up. You're not going to meet any of these people anyway.
 
I dont think that you have to be hhhuuugggeee to not be able to touch your elbows together, im 6'1 215 and cant do it, thats not that big, its got to be next to impossible for you shorter big boys.

I'm not big by any means. 5'10, 209, 375 bench, 19" pipes, 5 yr old girl squat and a dick so average if the number got lower, so would I. Is it the body structure? I know taller and bigger guys that can.

SS, I know how you feel. I read a post where someone was talking about getting a pump when washing their hair while on dbol. I thought it was a joke. Now, after about 2 weeks on dbol, I wish it were a joke!!

Well dude I am 21 6'0 210 8%bodyfat on Fina right now and I cannot touch my elbows together. and I know most people who are my height and over 190 cannot. My roomate is on Fina also he is 5'8 170 and shredded to the bone and neither can he even if I try to push his elbows in. Just an FYI
 
........

Hell no I can't my arms stop right about at my chest not even someone pushing them can *ouch hurts chest hehe*. I am only 6'2 224 bout 12% and these are not padded stats. I don't know why this guy is so offended maybe his chicken chest keeps his elbows locked together. Don't hate on us because we have a chest =).

Drizz
 
Whoooa thats fucking weird man, whats it mean if I can't touch my elbows together, is my chest big? Cause its not....its small compared to everything else..
 
I was at a bodybuilding show in Mpls. this weekend and I was asking a couple of friends if they could do it, "none of them could" I looked around and everyone just about everyone in the audience was trying to do it, funny as hell, :lmao:

I can't do it, so what. What does that mean? Not much, especially since most people who do not even work have trouble doing it completly.

I will start a poll on a better one.



Sincerely.:D

elbow touching

I dont know about elbow touching but I love to slap myself and beat myself about the genitles and chest area.
 
Heck I can't even hardly tuck my shirt in my pants much less put my elbows together and I'm a tall 5'6 217 lbs and after I do back and bi s I can't even take a shower until my pump goes down some because I cant hardly reach my face and I'm NO WHERE close to mr O ha ha ha.

Easily, martial arts training keeps you supple.

All you guys that say oh, I'm too big etc. just don't stretch enough.
Click to expand...

What are your stats strengthmonster, and your age?

I was a smug one like you when I was young and small.

Nearing the end of a cycle my shoulders are tight as drums, sorry about that. No stretching in the world is going to turn me back into the lithe ballet dancer I once was.
 
now I got a huge headache, I was trying that crap for 10 mins just now. I thought I was able to since im not huge or anything but i just dont think I can do it! Dont pull another one of these tricky things on me again please!
 
I thought I couldn't do it at first because my forearms touched. After trying a few times, I finally pointed my hands in a way that allowed me to do it. It is uncomfortable though since I did chest yesterday.

Anybody have trouble reaching the seat belt when they get in their car from working out. I have trouble normally, but it's even harder with a pump.
 
I cannot get to within 6 or 8 inches of touching my elbows together. I have not been able to touch my elbows together since I was about 165, I am 230 now.

I was a 3 time state champion full contact karate fighter. I could not touch my elbows together then either, 2 years at 165, one year at 185. The only people I have seen that could do it were very poorly muscled people. I don't doubt that there are some big fellows that can touch elbows, but I have never seen anyone with any kind of size able to do it. I am 5 foot 7. I can squat around 600 and I can do the chinese splits. Flexibility means something, but once you have acheived a certain amount of size, some things just become physically impossible. Just like the inverse being true. Not a lot of 130 pounders out there benching 500, and not a lot of 300 pounders dunking basketballs.
 
:(

I think I dislocated my sternum & rib cage trying to touch my elbows together, then I realized, why would anyone want to do this, it is physically impossible.
 
This is such a joke ... and a few of us are laughing.

Hardly ANYONE can do this.

Its an old "trick" of sorts. Kind of like that trick where men can't bend over at the waist with their head against a wall, pick up a chair, and "right" themselves.

This is a trick question, it makes the respondents feel as if they are either:

... not flexible (right sure, I know many flexioble people who cannot do this either) or

..... like super-buffed, when most skinny geeks or fatty .. hell.... almost 99% of the population .... cant do this either!

Its a joke question guys, been around for years.

Its been used also in various mind-trick scenarios ... where someone looks at a person and says "hm, .... I'll bet you cant touch yoru elbows together .... can you?". The person (subject) tries, and ..... WOW ......... he CANT! Who would have guessed?!?!?!
 
Well I posted earlier in this thread and I could, that was a week ago andIm now 1 week into my cycle and I can't.... what does that tell you riker

Click to expand...

See, that's what I was thinking. And I still can't make my elbows actually touch. But, my brother, who is 50-60 lbs lighter than me (skin and bones) CAN touch his elbows together!!! So, I'm guessing it takes someone with some scrawny forearms? No offense to you guys that can touch elbows, maybe you employed a different technique.
