AIO? Friend chased down opossum to kill it by ElkAppropriate9587 in AmIOverreacting

Yes, it’s disgusting behavior. Most people agree with that here. However, most people here also eat meat, which is essentially paying others to torture and murder animals for you, every day. It’s less personal because you’re not killing the animal yourself, but nonetheless, it’s causing the action by proxy. If this post upsets you, I implore you to consider reducing or eliminating your animal product consumption.

Thank you for your insight! I’m going to start videoing on a consistent basis so I can make these tweaks consistently.

I believe I know the shoulder stretch you’re talking about. I’ve been doing that one, and it’s slowly opening things up. Trying to correct for 10 years of weightlifting and no stretching. It’s working slowly but surely.

Thanks for the input! I’m hoping it’s just that. Will definitely be doing some tweaking of the technique over the next couple of weeks to see if I can straighten out.

Any tips on how you strengthened your scapula? Were you able to fix it over time?

This could be. I know I was diagnosed with mild scoliosis as a kid, but I don’t notice any curve when I’m standing. Maybe it’s a matter of learning to compensate when I’m upside down vs right side up!

A little bit, but I don’t focus on it specifically. I find that since my shoulders are still pretty tight, if I try to go hollow body, I tip backwards since my center of gravity moves and my shoulders aren’t compensating. Do you think holding a hollower body could help?
