The Sad Case of Sun Burned Armpits Syndrome

Pumping iron and bodybuilding are the primary cause of “Sun Burned Armpits Syndrome,” but it may affect those who sit in comfortable chairs much of the day.

Some of the sad symptoms include:

• Frozen cement-like torso, afflicting the arms, traps, shoulders and lats
• Almost zero movement in the arms when walking or running
• A foot of space between the biceps and arm pits
• Frankensteinish or homolateral gait

Do not offer helpful advice to those who have this syndrome as it can lead to ‘roid rage.

Note: Badass Tai Chi is a known cure for Sun Burned Armpits Syndrome, but it does require greater focus on natural movement and less focus on how your lats look in the mirror.
