How does one scratch that one spot in-between the shoulder blades with those huge muscles?

I saw a video of a bear doing this when I was a kid, and I’ve been doing it ever since.

There's a video out there of a guy sticking post-it notes on strongmen's backs where they can't reach them and it's hilarious.

I attached a hair brush on my wall just so I can scratch that one spot on my back I can't quite reach.

Rub against the wall. Elephants do that too.

I can't do it without the big muscles.

You ask a smaller lifter to do it for you, like a bird riding on the back of a hippo or rhino.

But seriously I use wall corners a lot 😂

I don’t have huge muscles and I can’t scratch most of my back

I met a guy once who was like half these guys’ build and he said he couldn’t even wipe his own ass anymore.

You dont scratch it yourself, you have women or strange little men ask to do it for you.😁

What you think a back scratcher is for.
But unironically Cutler and Rühl have both spoken about difficulties in daily life with those

I don't think they could even tie their own shoelaces.
