    The fact that nobody has yet commented on her elbow hyperextending makes me feel a lot better, actually. Granted, not many comments.

    My physio was super surprised/concerned that my elbows, when measured, hyperextend about 18 degrees (a bit further than chick in photo) so I thought it was weird and uncommon or something, where prior I thought that was totally normal even if really inconvenient for wrestling.

    But maybe not so uncommon? I know women tend to be more flexible in general, and during late stages of pregnancy secrete a hormone that increases flexibility, but I don’t know that I’ve known others with the same hyperflexability for no reason.

    (I know that’s not what this pic is supposed to be)
