- OK, so some people have had some trouble rubbing things, or more
- specifically, with those head-lifts I talked about. We have a genuine
- miscommunication if you get ouchy hair-pulls with this idea; there
- should be no substantial strain on the hair at all.
-
- Imagine a big, heavy piece of furniture. You can take the weight of it
- without actually moving it, right? (Cuckoo's Nest notwithstanding)
- Well, the idea here is a bit like that. Again, the first bit is easy
- and quite delicious: get your hands into the victim's hair, one hand on
- top (base of hand towards forehead, fingers towards back), the other on
- back (base of hand at neck, fingers towards top). You want the hands
- (esp the back-of-head one) to have no chance of sliding over hair, so
- (whinge! moan!) you just have to work the hands in well from both ends.
-
- OK, now the back hand *should* be placed so that your palm cups over the
- point where the neck stops and the skull curves out (if your victim
- cannot hold their head upright, do some work with your top hand to get
- the skull, neck and spine in a neatish vertical line).
-
- So this back hand should have a good grip around that back-of-head
- bulge. Now you want to think of that heavy piece of furniture: take the
- weight of the skull (and tell your play-partner what a large brain they
- must have, or that they are big-headed, as appropriate). There is no
- motion implied here; just increase the pressure with the back hand,
- pushing up (and slightly in, for grip) on the skull. This will reduce
- the load on the victim's neckmuscles considerably, and if held for a
- second or two, released, and repeated, should provide some of the
- desired jellification.
-
- Throughout, do what you can to stay aware of your top hand; with this
- and several other tricks for working on necks when the victim is
- upright, that hand is needed to avoid painful flopping as you give hir
- neck muscles the badly-needed holiday in Acapulco. The problem is
- really only stylistic; this arm must take a lot of strain at some
- points, so you need to angle it well, and it can be an ungraceful moment
- when you take the hand away (yeah, it sticks ...). Basically, practice.
-
- Am I any clearer? I think I have to leave it at the above. If it still
- ain't working, get in touch (keep it net-based, if nobody minds).
- Perhaps I'm being unclear because my Big Problem(tm) just now is the
- absence of any victims to do this to who are closer than about 3K miles,
- so I hope you are suitably impressed with my martyrdom in describing
- this stuff (*self*snicker*).
-
- If I can get a reward, I'd like to hear from other sculptors in muscle
- (no, not Schwarzenegger; Mama G springs to mind - you out there, Mama?)
- about non-obvious tricks. I wouldn't have tried the above by chance,
- and I know one other back-stretch that never ceases to amaze me: it
- looks like it *should* hurt, but people love it. However, if head-lifts
- are causing netwide ouches, I'll leave that until we have clearer
- communication. Anyone with ideas to trade, I'm all ears, since (moan) I
- can't be all back for a demo.
