Inb4 I don’t

I’m not asking if you do it, I’m asking people how you do it

Edit: sorry I forgot I posted this and came back to a bunch of answers. I have a torn something in my shoulder that no MRI has been able to find for 20 years so I can’t just reach it. I myself use a long cloth, but I don’t really like it so I was curious what other people did.

Also, I don’t wash my back every shower, but I do get pretty sweaty sometimes and feel like I just have to

    I dunno. I used to be flexible as hell, but was also too damn broad across the shoulders to get everywhere. That was even before I started lifting seriously; lifting just made the area I couldn’t reach bigger.

    Somewhere around 16 I hit a spurt and suddenly couldn’t reach a zone between my shoulder blades. It was maybe hand sized. In my twenties, it was about an inch or two bigger, but I could still do all the stretches fully before lifting, and that included shoulder stretches where I could end up almost flat with my arms behind me.

    Nowadays, I’m just old and stiff, and can’t scrub anything right on my back.

      I strained my left arm and its cannot reach quite as far as my right now and even then im pretty sure I was more flexible in my youth. At one point I was able to grip my hands just barely diagnoly on my back but I knew some folks that could like grip their wrists behind their back. I have long arms to so its definately a lack of flexibility.
