You tell’em Nikki. Cbear is just being dirty. Helpful, but dirty…lol. The measurement is 34 DD. Bras and bathing suits are frustrating. All the, “cute ones” as she says, are tiny.
Bear is just being the sexy beast she is 
That’s why my goal was to be anything C or below. Bras start getting ugly when you hit D and up 
When I found a store with nice bigger bras, I took great note of it.
34 DD? If she works hard and eats well, then her breasts can go down to a C in a matter of months, maybe 6-8? I’m just guessing off of my progress. I didn’t take training as seriously as I do now but still went from a DD-DDD to a 34C in a little less than a year. If I trained as hard as I do now, it probably would have taken like 6-7 months to do it.
Actually, I agree with your post. I can’t even explain the mental confusion I must have had when writing that but thinking of the exercises I do, I realize that I do most of the exercises that you say to do for the upper back. I just confused don’t work lats much for don’t work them at all.
Thanks for the kind words 
Have any of you girls ever been to a chiropractor? Enlighten me with your experience.

I ain’t a girl, but I did train as a chiro, so I’ll be keen to see what people think.

I’d love for you to be my chiro. My current chiro is a very petite female, and while she enjoys learning about my sport, she isn’t really strong enough to tell where I am weak. I wouldn’t mind going to a new chiro, but I generally only go when I’ve been feeling off and I’ve been feeling fine for the past year or so.
It’s also a little terrifying trying to find a new Chiro. I have nightmares of trying someone new and ending up paralyzed (don’t laugh).

I haven’t read the entire post but I would say bring your grip in.

I’ve had a chiropractor tell me that you might need an adjustment even if your not feeling any symptoms? I know everbody loves being needed, especially for money. Could this be true?

I have a hard time buying the concept that people need to be “regularly adjusted.” Especially those who aren’t even into fitness. I have found through a combo of stretching moves that I can self-adjust my back to release tension. That being said, I have an ART guy who is fab and is able to help me manage the pains that come from powerlifting.
But I can’t imagine paying the money to see him if I didn’t have very specific “symptoms.” And to his credit, I saw him shortly after the powerlifting meet where I badly tore my rotator cuff and after working on me for just a few minutes he told me to see an orthopedist ASAP because he was fairly certain I had seriously damaged something.
I have to agree with Snap on this and the only reason I reckon anyone would need a regular adjustment would be if they’re dealing with some sort of back issue or rehabbing an injury. But my sentiments stem from the fact that when I was rehabbing my hammie my ART guy adjusted my back without my full understanding of what he was doing (or consent quite frankly) and it felt like an absolute violation of my physical constitution. I did not like it at all and would much rather he had given me some stretches or other such things instead. shudder
Yes, I’m giving him the Italy.
I had a chiro that was also ART certified. He was awesome. He did the usual adjustments/traction but also went over exercises and stretches to prevent or correct the problem. It’s been about a month since I last saw him and I can definitely feel the difference.
I appreciate the explanation of what an “adjustment” is supposed to accomplish. Because, quite honestly, I’ve never understood it and found that most people who frequent chiropractors go because it “feels good” and don’t really understand the purpose behind it. I’m one of those people who require a lot of detail and ask many, many questions about topics that I’m not well-versed on.
Maybe “self adjustment” was the incorrect term. I stretch regularly and do yoga. In one stretching position, my lower back often “cracks” or releases. Interesting that you mention the hypermobility issue because it’s a concept I’ve been thinking about and researching lately.
I’ve only seen a chiropractor once when I threw my back out on a heavy squat. She charged me a bundle of money, cracked my back (which was extremely compromised) in a few different positions, and made no difference in my condition. My ART guy, who has a chiropractic degree but no longer does “adjustments,” was able to help me because he treats sports injuries by focusing on muscles and soft tissue via pressure point methodology.
He explained that an adjustment would make no difference because my problem wasn’t bone or joint related, but rather that my muscles were spasming to protect my spine. By working the muscles, he was able to alleviate the spasms in my back and, hence, the pain.
I’m certainly not saying that there’s no place for chiropractic. Just that my issues to date have revolved around muscles and soft tissue, which, according to your explanation, wouldn’t necessarily be affected by an adjustment to allow synovial fluid into the joints.
You see, my chiropractor never told me about any exercises to correct or prevent the problem I supposably have. I want a guy that can do ART also, and gets me involved in my own healing!
