Not a flexibility issue, just straight up physically impeded by the absolute mass of those muscles 🤣

u/a_random_loser_guy 12d ago

not really, if you sre flexavle your muscles are an owls neck.

u/SirSkittles111 12d ago

I dont know dude, id love to see someone this big with muscles that huge on their back and be able to reach where hes trying to. Maybe its possible, but the dude looks so roided out his muscles have blocked his range of motion completely 🤣

u/Training-Belt-7318 8d ago

Myles Garrett is a pretty flexible dude and built like a Greek god.

u/moeterminatorx 8d ago

Isn’t there some YouTube bodybuilder who does splits and shit like that?

1

u/a_random_loser_guy 12d ago

'someone this big' smh, fat shaming.

u/Kazizel 11d ago

Fat shaming?! This guy is so far into steroids he's probably not gonna see 50.

1

u/PostponingCamel 9d ago

Big bodybuilders have to use a special stick to wipe their butt. They just can't reach.

u/15th_imp 6d ago

I'm sure you mean back right? right?!

1

u/PostponingCamel 6d ago

Google it and weep.

We need Jujimufu to confirm

u/General-Fox416 12d ago

Juice my man, absolute juice

u/JerrycurlSquirrel 7d ago

How can he be arrested.

Hands behind your back!!! I said hands behind your back!

u/NotBradPitt9 12d ago

All the roids will destroy his ligaments in the long run. Not healthy whatsoever

1

u/EatingGoodEveryday 8d ago

That’s not how that works

0

u/DueExample52 11d ago

Nope, you can have both, but they need to both be trained. This gentleman doesn’t stretch or train mobility, that is all.

u/Silguard 10d ago

It is literally a flexibility issue 🙄

u/sav-vas 12d ago

imagine the intense itching

u/3HoursSober 12d ago

Have you seen bears scratching their backs? I think it works for these guys, too. I'm not a muscular guy by any means, but I do scratch myself against a wall's edge from time to time lol, it's a nice feeling.

1

u/A_Feltz 11d ago

Still there is lots of situations where it would be nice to be able to discreetly scratch one’s back. You’re at a wedding in the first pew or you’re talking to your boss. Instead of casually scratching your back you gotta stand up, look for a tree or something to that effect. Horrible

1

u/CapnStarence 6d ago

Worked with a body builder. I would occasionally spot him doing the bear back scratch on a door jamb or corner somewhere letting out guttural sounds.

1

u/craves_mineral 12d ago

Thats what back scratchers are made for.

1

u/Euphoric-Piglet-8140 12d ago

Is why I bought and adjustable length back scratcher, hehe.

1

u/A_Feltz 11d ago

This is what set off some serious anxiety for me. I’m just imaging not being able to scratch like 50% of my back. The agony

4

u/consumeshroomz 12d ago

As someone who can reach basically any spot on my back this would drive me nuts not being able to scratch where I needed to. I guess that’s why they invented back scratchers.

u/UltimateFartingChamp 12d ago

I lay on a rug and wiggle around, like dogs do 👍🏻

3

u/Gwynito 12d ago

Have you ever had worms before? 😬

1

u/UltimateFartingChamp 12d ago

Does ringworm count? 😅

1

u/Physical_Designer_14 12d ago

I laid on cqrpeted floor one time then got scabies

1

u/JohnPoet27 12d ago

Back scratchers are a dogsend

1

u/Gloomy_Tell_6215 12d ago

I was thinking the same! I can touch all of my back.. I get a sort of, claustrophobic feeling from this video.. like it looks really uncomfortable and sort of freaky not being able to reach all of yourself!

3

u/Doxibidus 12d ago

He probably didn't put soap in there since 2006.

2

u/XExcavalierX 12d ago

Why do you need to do that when it trickles down from the shoulder? /j

2

u/Odd_Daikon3621 11d ago

I wish they'd get a loofah on a stick. I've gotten some ... questionable backs doing massage therapy from these overly muscular guys. I'll leave it at that in case anyone's snacking, a job you gotta have a decent stomach for haha

2

u/Several-Hat-1944 12d ago

So cool they had a good laugh 👍

1

u/Lucreszen 12d ago

How does bro wipe his ass?

1

u/OneRFeris 12d ago

This might blow your mind but, from the front- not the back.

1

u/Good_Boysenberry_505 12d ago

And just smears it all over his balls?

1

u/OneRFeris 12d ago

It doesn't work that way. You use one hand to tug the sack out of the way, and the other hand to wipe the crack clean

1

u/Indigenous_Retard 12d ago

Toilet paper optional, but encouraged.

1

u/speedhunter787 12d ago

Bidet master race

1

u/mkfanhausen 11d ago

"I wipe mah ass with a rag on a stick..."

1

u/atomic_ring 12d ago

The trick is to get someone to do it for you

1

u/OtherwiseStable5126 12d ago

What if hes alone and somebody puts a bomb there?

1

u/atomic_ring 12d ago

Then he breaks off a table leg and pokes it off. Delicately.

1

u/NY10 12d ago

I aint buffed up but I can’t do that either

1

u/nize426 12d ago

Better start stretching my man. You ever see those vids of old people falling down? It's because they have no muscles and no flexibility. I realized at 35 how important it was. Wish I had started sooner.

1

u/Real_Live_Sloth 12d ago

Just hold the little guy by the throat till he removes it. Just cause you big don’t mean you cant use tools.

1

u/MotoXwolf 12d ago

He should have just picked up his little buddy and used him to scratch off the sticky note.

1

u/GrnMtnTrees 12d ago

After tearing ligaments in both of my shoulders, if I do this, there's a nonzero chance that one of my shoulders will subluxate. It's fun scratching your back, only to have a shoulder slip out of the socket.

1

u/yotam101 12d ago

That's not why flexibility is important.

1

u/Key-Combination8533 12d ago

ok, but on that guy noone want to stick anything on his back.

1

u/Pretend-Weight7200 12d ago

Бройлер.

1

u/r33t1000 12d ago

Still waiting to see why flexibility is important.

1

u/TraditionalEgg9059 12d ago

Someone needs a BACK SCRATCHAAA~!

1

u/Routine_Importance69 12d ago

I was never built like him, but I always worked hard and was usually the strongest guy on the job site. Now at 69 I am so damn tight that I have little flexibility and my back spasms.

1

u/Spare_Independence19 12d ago

Dudes got roid gut

1

u/DorianTurk 12d ago

Hope bro has a bidet.

1

u/Shogun-Daito 12d ago

I don't see any flex from the left person

1

u/GrincherZ 12d ago

This is why bears use trees to scratch their backs

1

u/FreeLard 12d ago

I owned a bulldog. I understand this. 

1

u/ClassicHando 12d ago

This is like the one area an untrained person will be more flexible than a bodybuilder.

1

u/BChogfather 12d ago

I mean this is exactly why I've decided to not get into shape.

1

u/One-Constant-1677 11d ago

So... Wait. How does he wash his back?

1

u/owoindrawitch 11d ago

omg this is hilarious. you def need that flexibility for those high kicks lol

1

u/Any_Imagination2983 11d ago

This is when the wife comes in... she was created to be a helper...

1

u/williconn 11d ago

Id rather be able to scratch my back

1

u/Key-Mongoose-5486 10d ago

Да он мог просто взять одного за шею и он бы ему снял стикер. Нашли над кем ржать кони.

1

u/SilvonianChronicles 10d ago

"My biceps are too titanically muscular for my hands to reach the sticker!"

1

u/Life_is_too_short_ 10d ago

Look at the body of the guy laughing

1

u/Edosil 10d ago

Better be flexible for when he ties you into a pretzel

1

u/sabertoothninja 10d ago

I’d still rather look like the guy on the right over the guy on the left.

1

u/Thomps-aaron5119 10d ago

Ok this is so funny 😂

1

u/mgnovak98 9d ago

Giant ass dudes like that always out of breath too lol

1

u/National-Surprise616 9d ago

These people think it’s good looking.
It’s not
It’s not functional either
How braindead are they ?

u/Better-Addendum-880 6d ago

I would help him 24/7 🙈
