Can you put one arm over your shoulder

[Mememeplease]

... And touch fingers with your other hand coming up diagonally from below?

I have never been able to do this, regardless of my size or fitness. Otoh elderly mil can easily do it.

Which is more common?

😂 Thanks for clarifying!

Yep. I can bring them over my head like that too.

A girl in my school could hold hands in front of her, step through them and then take them up her back and over her head! I couldn't — I'm flexible but my bum was too big to get them past it!

Yes only one way round though, no idea why.
I'm ancient but I can still put my hands flat on the floor when standing with feet together but can't get my forearms one the floor as a pp said their sister could. I do the touching the floor thing 20 times every morning as part of my stretching and weights routine otherwise I would probably seize up pretty quickly

I can but only on one side.

There are many more yes's than no's. I'm the odd one

DD can almost touch. Closer than her brother anyway. So the toilet theory stands.

I can put my hands flat on the floor whilst standing
My 94 year old Grandad could do that right up till he died. I didn't get my flexibility from his side of the family obviously, although tbf I can touch my toes better than I can do the shoulder thing.

I can hold hands one way but not the other - I'vealways been able to,I think it is hyper mobility but was always told I was 'double jointed' .
I used to be able to put my hands flat on the ground when bending over,I can't at the moment but reckon a bit of practice would fix that.
I used to sit on the ground with my legs bent out at the hip,and back at the knee,flat to the ground ( a bit like the opposite of cross legged!) .That I haven't been able to do for years as it does my hips in!

I can do one side but not the other.

Yeah, easily but I can also put my hands flat on the floor straight legged and answer my foot like a phone. I blame biting my toenails as a child

Oh I'm hyper mobile too though, my elbows go back at a strange degree

My elbows go back at a strange degree

Oh stupid me, I read elbows as eyebrows for some strange reason. And no I haven't been drinking!

I can yes.

Before last week yes I could, both ways but I injured my shoulder pulling out roots when digging in the garden last weekend so right now I can't even do up my bra strap.

Ha ha EnormousDormouse, that was what I was (badly) trying to explain upthread what I can do!

I can do it one side but not a hope with the other.

Nope I can’t

Nope!! Very far away!

Both sides. Also touch hands flat on floor with feet together. Not Especial fit.

I can do it on one side, but not the other side.

I'm a lopsided freak!

Yes, but it’s much harder to do it on one side than the other.

Yes I can, on both sides. Although harder on one side than the other. It's a yoga pose and I do a lot of yoga.
