Don't forget the accompanying sneer and low growl
Just going with being bad-guy-coded is one of the perks of being a commie. We may have to start making excuses for the lack of evil skeleton sounds
i can pop my elbows simultaneously by putting my arms up in a sort of guarded stance, fists clenched, and then flexing my forearms while pushing out a little towards a perceived opponent. it's very reliable if i haven't done it in multiple hours. i should probably come up with some entire choreographed sequence involving taking my shirt off, rolling my neck, windmilling my arms, bending my knees, the elbow pop, and then one of those non committal chin thrusts with a shrug followed by some kind of phrase like, "let's get down."
just in case.
I can crack my neck, knuckles, wrists, shoulders, one elbow, and my left hip. Also my jaw, but I try not to do that. The shoulders are the loudest and most disconcerting. In fact, I repulse people so much with this that my joint-cracking symphony could serve as an entire confrontation, obviating the need for any violence at all.
I do that to signal that I need to go to the chiropractor again
Don’t go to the chiropractor it’s pseudoscience and harmful
The "chiroprachty is pseudoscience" meme is astroturfed by the physical therapy lobby.
Chiropracty within the normal range of practice is safe and has clinically proven results in improving pain outcomes. It is not a substitute for physical therapy, but that's not what it's for. It is an affordable alternative for managing pain, similar to massage therapy or acupuncture.
There is of course an aspect of woo, but that's present in MT and Acupuncture as well, and they're still treated as legitimate pain management techniques.
When it comes to chiropracty, use your brain. Will it cure your flu? That's a lie. Will it reduce your sciatica? Probably. Treat it with the suspicion of any unregulated product, but don't say it's useless. We don't tell people not to take Vitamin D because Wellbutrin exists, we say "take both." And "if you can't access welbutrin, try Vitamin D for SAD symptoms"
I would say it depends on the chiropractor. I saw one who didn't do any of the woo-woo shit. He just popped and aligned my back, and handed me off to the physical/massage therapist he was partnered with. Between the two of them, I ended up feeling a lot better while recovering from an accident.
Some are for sure but this is just spinal adjustments while at the physical therapist. It may be witchcraft but he worked his black magic and banished a lot of my pain with it
His biceps are the same size as his pecs. How do you even manage that?
Typical IDF general
Semi-related: I discovered I can pop the knots in my back through meditation! I'm not exactly transcending astral planes or anything but it's still a pretty neat trick.
Big deal, I can crack my knuckles like Mr. Smith in the Matrix at will.
