Back in Cali there was this trainer chick, we never did introductions, but after one funny interaction whenever we were on the gym floor at the same time she’d laser eyes at me, paying more attention in my direction waiting for me to stare back, smirk, or nod than to her dude client, 40ish, seemed to have money, and fit, who was paying for her attention, and not getting it.
Blonde, mid to late 20s, pretty enough at about 5’7″ with that build that’s a very good looking mix of curvy and muscular, wide hips, some chest, atop muscular thighs and glutes.
I observed something I thought strange about her ; standing around she’d put her hands on her glutes, and lean back about as far as she was able. It was almost how she normally stood around.
Seemed to feel good to her.
My educated guess says she was muscular enough to get overly tight, stretching something we think of guys needing to do, yet actually something the women who lift may find they need do.
I’ve known petite chicks who this applies to. She may be 5′ nothing and sub 115lbs, but she’s lifted hard enough, to be muscular (yet tiny), and have to pointedly stretch for recovery.
I figure this principle, but more obvious since this blonde trainer chick wasn’t extremely tiny, and was muscular.
This lean back, I’ve known dudes who crack their back that way, then a long while later I found this, I’m going to call it posture, present in tai chi/chi kung.
It’s said to be very good for you, to lean back like this, and is euphoric, especially considering how much we hunch forward in modern life.
In tai chi/chi kung there is the purposeful use of standing while leaning back postures.
I find myself leaning back during rest periods.
Limbo like I go as far back as I can muscularly stand back up from, and frankly feel that one could get themselves to back bend fully regularly practicing like this.
Go back as far as you can, hold awhile, restand. Eventually you’ll go deeper and deeper.
It will be rather cool to back bend to a lightly touched wrestler’s bridge, and restand.
The principle feels good.
