any of you guys muscle bound?

**ward065** · 08-30-2005, 12:04 PM

recently i've developed more symptoms of being muscle bound

(albeit at this point, it's not too much!). For example, holding a phone up to my ear can be a little bit annoying, and i can't scratch my right shoulder with my right arm or my left shoulder with my left arm- i have to use the other arm.

When my arms are pumped it's a whole other story! i can only like extend my arms halfway to my shoulder before they get stuck! man i love the feeling of a huge arm pump especially.

i have trouble itching my back. i gave up and just rub my back against the corner of a wall now like a d@mn bear. during bulking during the winter is when i notice complications with flexibility the most.

i can still itch my back, though i can't if my arms are pumped. My arms are still under 18 though, but over 17

Hahah.. that sound familiar, I have to constantly change arms when on the phone, and I have trouble scratching my back....

lol. that's still easy!

ever see that picture of Ronnie coleman in those ads for BSN products (in Flex, muscle & Fitness, etc) holding a cell phone up to his ear?? he like has his left hand holding the phone to his right ear because it appears he absolutely cannot hold his left hand to his left ear.

I can't cross my legs that for damn sure.....My balls usually get crushed if I even try!

**Benches505** · 08-30-2005, 02:05 PM

I've seen some fairly large Bro's that can still scratch their back etc 275lbs+ .

I think it boils down to flexibility due to lack of stretching.

**MASTER** · 08-30-2005, 04:13 PM

thas pretty damned impressive for a big guy nonetheless, ronnie is just generally a freak of nature

**chest6** · 08-30-2005, 04:15 PM

ronny is not human as i like to say...

ahem i mean me..for all the ppl who ask "is that you in your avatar"

**MASTER** · 08-30-2005, 04:18 PM

lol people that ask that clearly arent realli interested in bodybuilding and have no place in a bb forum, i mean ronnie is what michael jordan is to basketball - the king
