    I'd take a picture but I'm already naked and too lazy to get dressed. I love the bendiness on display, though.

    ^This. I'll be clothed later and will try and take a pic then.

    I think asking my mum to take a pic would be weird...

    I have no pictures of me right over, but does this half count?

    :love: In light of your photograph, I must disagree with your assertion that the brobends are hottest. :love:

    This is frustrating for me.

    I was sort of being a little silly when I initially posted this thread.
    I didn't have an unnatural fixation with backbends and thought it would be funny to pretend as if I had some sort of weird fetish.

    But now I actually do have one! Look at you women, jesus christ!

    Karincakes, that's an awesome body you've developed.

    I'm so lucky I married a bendy woman myself or I'd be up a creek after this thread!

    My form is rubbish and I can't straighten my arms, but I'm gonna call this a NSV as I've never been able to do one before and it makes my stomach look really flat. :laugh:

    I just tried and while it was *technically* there, it was atrocious form. Shoulder flexibility/strength is a weak point.

    ...and so now, I will be adding some work over an exercise ball to try to get this.



    Damn you, eman...

    ETA: Oh, and my two youngest got on the floor and said, "That's not how you do it. Do it like this." and then popped up into these nice little semicircles. I wanted to say, "Oh, sure, maybe if I had spent thousands of dollars on classes for me, then I could do it too...*mouthy little whippersnappers*...GET OFF MY LAWN!!!"

    ETAM: My kids also tell me this is more accurately called a "bridge"...or maybe that's part of my problem, that I'm getting into it from a bridge and not from a full backbend. I figured it made more sense to try pushing instead of falling into it...and given my inability to hold the position, feel justified in my approach.

    Back bends are awesome I tried contortion training for a while but didn't stick with it. Yoga was my alternative though and has done me wonders.
