pinch to soften

[le Redoutable]

sometimes you lack suppleness say at the elbows;
just pinch beyond pain up to your tolerance, and you will grant yourself ein bischen suppleness;
it is a VERY easy and accessible sport

edit: well, pinch skin actually

edit: ... and pinch with your fingers ( not with a clothespin )

 

[Cadence]

Apparently except for one tiny patch my elbows have so much skin and so little nerves that I can't actually induce any pain there at all by pinching with my fingers , and in that one patch it is impossible to get beyond my tolerance. (I am pondering trying a closepin or wrench, but that seems like a bad move).
