Rib Update

[shanmonster]

I am pleased to announce that after less than a week of very sporadic practice, I can now move either side of my ribcage independantly. It looks freaky as hell. I'm sure this talent will prove to be important, and may someday even save someone's life.

Now, I'd better go nab myself some food, before I become nothing but ribcage.

It even sounds freaky as hell. By the way, you posted 4 times in a matter of like 2 hours. I havent posted for a few months, just for comparison. I found it comical that my friends page read something like this

Shanmonster 10:50 AM Rib Update

Shanmonster 10:29 AM Penis Spam (chuckle)

Shanmonster 9:29 AM A Dress : The Issue

Shanmonster 9:04 AM Beauty Disillusions

Shanmonster 8:38 AM Tea Time

So before I even woke up, you drank tea, battled the moustache king, posted actual photos (something that is impossible for me to do), Penis Spam (I find the need to say anything else is not neccesary, as penis spam represents itself quite well, and youve managed to basically find an extreme version of "I can wiggle my ears". Neat.

Now youve gotta focus on moving one rib at a time. THAT would be scary

I don't think it's possible to move one rib at a time. At least, not without serious injury. I'm using my intercostal muscles to spread and retract them, and have managed to isolate the movement so I can do just one side at a time. I can also push one side down toward the ground at a time.

I will use this in my dance, though.

My posting flurry is due to having most of a day off--my first in quite some time.

I'll be baking, soon. I'd like to have some blueberry pie with my supper tonight.

Hah, I can see it now.

"SHES A MUTANT!!! EVERYBODY RUN FOR IT!!!"

Not so very mutated, at least, not for this reason. I've discovered plenty of other people who can also do this. They seem to be centred amongst people who dance, do yoga, or Pilates.

A secret community of rib-spreaders. fascinating.

Maybe I should start a LJ community for rib spreaders.

A picture really wouldn't show much. You'd need video.

Re: wow

[bpscool.livejournal.com]

well video sounds cool would you show that to us?

Re: wow

[shanmonster.livejournal.com]

I would, but I don't have a video camera.

Every single post like this you make makes me feel like a wimp. Really. I can't even make it through a push-up and here you are wiggling your ribs around like a ribby anemone.

[shanmonster.livejournal.com]

I can't do a proper pushup, and never could. I can't lift myself up from the floor. However, I can hold myself in plank position without too much difficulty. My father is the same way, and he's a very strong man. I suspect it has something to do with the way our arms are hooked up. I think we may be slightly off kilter for that sort of movement.

Rib isolations really have no bearing on how strong a person is. It's just specialized muscle usage, like wiggling your nose or moving your scalp.

cool i'd like to see
