That looks like someone photoshopped clothes on a guy in an energetic porn.
I intentionally avoided the photos of women because I assumed they'd lead to sexualized jokes.
That looks like it could actually hurt your back
How does giving gifts work in your family? In this kind of situation, I think my wife would start a Ralphie-like subtle campaign to give me hints that she might want this for Xmas. And then she might suggest that I could give to her early, because why should I make her suffer for so long?
4: Why would feminism hurt your back?
what's wrong with a lacrosse ball? i suppose it won't go on both sides of your bones, but you just lie on it (or push it against a wall) on each side in turn.
Some guy in a bar told me to use a lacrosse ball to heal my foot.
Men's Journal ?
I am a man and I like journals, but this sounds like one of those things made to deplete self-esteem that grocery stores put in the checkout aisle.
Maybe one of those huge rubber balls for sitting on would also work for this?
7: Lacross balls are hard AF! I dunno, maybe.
10: Those huge yoga balls are soft AF! And wouldn't fit neatly between your shoulder blades.
10: I think that's probably right. I didn't actually click through, just grabbed it off Google images. But look how happy he looks!
I've used a rolled up towel, and a foam roller (perpendicular to my spine) to do this, as per recommendations from a physio and from a doctor (who was also an osteopath and various kinds of possibly dubious spine cracking merchant). I'm not sure if those look comfortable, but I'm somewhat interested, I have to admit.
yay!! let's have Jammies buy sets for both of us! Unfogged stretching group.
Reading some reviews, I'm now curious as well.
10.1: Some of the articles look interesting -- "Rethinking Masculinity Studies: Feminism, Masculinity, and Poststructural Accounts of Agency and Emotional Reflexivity" and "Just a Joke? The Thin Line between Teasing, Harassment and Violence among Teenage Boys in Lower Secondary School" and "Is Normative Male Alexithymia Associated with Relationship Satisfaction, Fear of Intimacy and Communication Quality among Men in Relationships?"
Did anyone else see the title and think this thread was about hanging?
Do you need the $120 four pack or is a single size good enough to test it ($30-$60 depending on diameter)?
now recalling that the way to get the rail track effect is put two balls in the end of an old stocking, tie a not, adjustable for width. tennis balls softer than lacrosse, and control the force by pushing against a wall rather than lying on the floor. honestly if physical relief is what you seek it's suuuuper cheap to achieve.

Just call the phone number on the wall of the bathroom stall.
When my back hurts, I lay on my back on the rug. I can only stay like that for maybe an hour (I'll sleep), but I do feel better.
22: If you can get up from that position, then you're in pretty good shape.
I read enough "lifting weights helps with back pain" anecdotes to start trying it myself a few months ago. My back still feels sore in the mornings but at least it's the exercise kind of soreness instead of the being 47 years old kind.
24: Then you've earned the peep "Certificate of Fitness".
mobes dedicate yourself to doing the mcgill three with laser like focus on form & your back will thank you soooo much! https://youtu.be/2_e4I-brfqs
I'm already doing physical therapy. I can't do two things.
I'm also trying to run again. But not far. I can run a half mile in five minutes but I can only run a mile in 11 minutes. My goal is a nine minute mile.
For people actually capable of moving, let me note that I was born during the Nixon Administration.
That's a good video, thanks. It's very clean presentation of the exercises.
10.1 I am recycling this from the nail thread because these are so good
Photos for the upcoming celebration of grito del Dolores. They are of manicures.

32 - a generally good resource even if you aren't into lifting.
Masturbating to Ken Starr is, alas, no longer permitted.
His written work is still fair game though, right?
38: Yes but may be counted as masturbating to Brett Kavanaugh, which, ewww.
you can find massagers that are like two lacrosse balls attached that accomplish much of the same thing for about a tenth the price. or what dq said.
41: Kennedy administration -- just barely.
To be fair, the ending was a surprise.
Since this is the fitness thread -- Did any of you notice that soon after I posted about my one simple trick for perfect wellness, the NYT ran this article? -- https://www.nytimes.com/2022/08/12/well/move/balance-exercises.html?searchResultPosition=8
Since then I watched a video in which Paul McCartney demonstrates "eye yoga" so now I've combined my balancing on one leg with eye yoga. Eye yoga (based on the 30 seconds of the video I watched) is looking up and looking down while keeping one's head still. Maybe also side to side? Maybe that was in the later part of the video I didn't watch. (now I will be waiting for the NYT article about eye yoga)
Also jms (I believe) commented that she washed the dishes while standing on one leg. This is very impressive, but I would never try that. I've broken enough dishes standing on two legs.
46: I do too, but I have the kind of dishwasher that works ok as long as you clean the dishes before you put them in
re physical exploits here is the tracker for an insane craaaayyyyzzzzyyyy swim going down right now https://track.rs/catherinebreed/ gg bridge to half moon bay, 27 miles. truly epic. hoping the landlord keeps a distance!
she's well past moss beach, 11:35 hours in with just over 3 miles to go ... just phenomenal.
I just realized she wasn't swimming in the bay, but in the open ocean. That's sounds hard.
jump at the gg bridge just after 4 a.m. i believe & nearly to the beach at hmb right now ...
& the tracker has turned back & picked up speed! look like she did it! 💪
One of my favorite things about Unfogged is how I keep picking up new slang for sharks from dq.
shhh! don't say their name they might hear us 👀.
i assume there were no sightings bc her crew would have yanked here in a millisecond. just not worth it. anyways phenomenal pace & just a mad mad beautiful swim! 🤩😍🤩
I thought rent was just that big of a problem in California.
