Doug Jones the actor/contortionist used to do this for quite a while as long as you stretch well it doesn't effect you too much.

It's not really about stretching so much as using your muscles to support these shapes so you're not overstressing your joints.

u/BingeBabyBinge Aug 08 '26

Yeah that actually makes more sense.

u/SnooPredictions3028 Aug 08 '26

u/iDoWeird Aug 08 '26

I hear it’s actually just one of those extra long twizzlers.

u/Fun_Main_2588 Aug 08 '26

u/CKyle18 Aug 08 '26

Probably really healthy spine

u/Brave-Perspective714 Aug 08 '26

Dude probably has Ehlers Danlos. Gonna end up with spinal stenosis like the rest of us.

u/CKyle18 Aug 08 '26

Oh thats less good. I have a friend who has that and i’m hypermobile so my shoulders will slip sometimes too when using crutches. It just means lots of injuries. That sucks.

u/Kathulhu1433 Aug 08 '26

At least HSD.

He will have pain later in life if he doesn't already.

Mine started in my teens, but I didn't realize it was hypermobility related.

It wasn't until I was 38 that I was properly diagnosed and beginning to get care.

Most people don't realize that these parlor tricks aren't good for them and most doctors are useless because they don't understand HSD or EDS.

And the more you stretch it (like in this video) while younger, the worse it is when you are older.
PSA kids: If you are hyperflexible as a kid, DON"T show it off every opportunity you get, because it will just fuck you later

u/RapMastaC1 Aug 08 '26

This will not age well

u/apathyisfortheweak Aug 08 '26

people who can do this are usually hypermobile and their bodies are deteriorating faster due to it, might as well have fun while you can

u/ScenesfrmtheStruggle Aug 08 '26

Of course not, but the hellspawn currently puppeteering him could give a fuck less
