Increasingly, the news feed in social networks replete with photographs, the content of which, to put it mildly, is surprising. Gone are the girls' "duck lips". But they were replaced by a new problem - the unknown "syndrome broad back"young men. What it is, where it came from and how to fight if the disease spreads to your friends, we will tell you below.
Causes of occurrence
V recent times the cult of an athletic sculpted body is gaining momentum. Multimedia characters, and not only athletes, but also performers of musical compositions, film actors build up mountains of muscles literally before our eyes. “We need to pump up,” the phrase sounds like a hymn to the beauty of the male body. This cannot pass by impressionable youth. But behind the beautiful bodies are hours of work in the gym. Everyone wants to be beautiful, but not everyone has enough hard work for this. Probably, it is from here that the so-called "wide back syndrome" originates (sometimes the word "imaginary" is added to the term). What is it?
What is wide back syndrome?
So the symptoms:
- the back is straight like an arrow. The look is usually the same - sharp, decisive, even a little aggressive;
- hands are unnaturally located either in a semicircle, or in a "semicircle". It seems that the person is carrying two car tires, but we do not see them;
- a person's belly is usually either sucked literally to the back, or stands out in a semicircle and makes you think about the option of pregnancy in men.
Hence the physique of those prone to disease. These are either very thin guys, or plump with a loose body mass, which they proudly call muscle.
It is by these signs that we will find "patients", according to the growing number of whom this disease can safely receive the status of an epidemic.
The second name of the disease - "turnstile back syndrome" - comes from the comic phrase "horizontal bar" and "men". This option conveys the essence of the problem even more clearly. That is, a person suffering from this "syndrome" takes such a posture and gait, as if in his arms big muscles or a wide back. But in reality this is not the case.
Can the syndrome be cured?
This question, fortunately, has a positive answer. Often the "illness" goes away with age or experience.
In fact, irony aside, it’s not all that fun. The fact that young guys, in their desire to be beautiful and strong, do not achieve this, but only imagine the effect, does not say anything good. This state is akin to how a boy from an average family breaks free and begins to waste money to show that he is rich.
The psychological background of the syndrome is quite deep. It's not only about dissatisfaction with your body, but also about unwillingness or laziness to work for improvement. Guys with "wide back syndrome" are trying to deceive not only the camera lens, but also themselves. This style of behavior will not lead to anything good. Therefore, if you see such a photo of your loved one, urgently save him. We offer two optimal solutions. First, make sure you like him the way he is. The second - give a gym membership, and let the inflated back be not a fantasy, but a reality.
If you look around, then you probably met guys with protruding elbows. This is the so-called broad back syndrome. In fact, this is already a disease. Most often, adolescents suffer from this disease, who are very fond of hanging on the horizontal bar. These guys don't look very pretty. The forearms are turned up, the elbows are pulled back, the head rests against the back of the head. Consider the causes of this syndrome.
Appearance factors
Currently about beautiful body all young guys dream of an athlete. Favorite film actors and performers of modern songs amaze with their pumped-up relief bodies and literally beckon all young men to look as beautiful as they are. After all, to impressionable young people, say only a word about their unformed body - and tomorrow you see them a guy not just walking on the street, but hanging on outdoor horizontal bar or practicing in the school gym. How much pride can be hurt! Of course, one muscle building session and strong hands too little. After all, many do not even know what it costs the same singers or actors. They do not know that this is a long hard work on themselves and their body, exhausting activities in gym almost daily. Most likely, this is where the "broad back syndrome" begins.
What it is?
V modern world you can see that a man with protruding arms is not all right with his body. Yes it is. This condition is called broad back syndrome. It may look like a kind of abduction of the elbows of the hands in different directions from reflex extension shoulders. It is usually accompanied by a bizarre facial expression. Most of all, this disease occurs in children and adolescents, mainly in thin guys. It can appear even after several sessions on the simulator: the young man immediately feels like a real jock.
An instant aggravation of the traumatic "broad back syndrome" will be the appearance of cameras and persons of the opposite sex. This will be followed by exposing the back and abdomen (or the so-called torso), changing the timbre of the voice.
Timely treatment
Unfortunately, broad back syndrome is not amenable to therapy at all. Over time, everything goes away on its own. There is even an assumption that our distant ancestors also stood in a pose with protruding elbows in order to scare their enemy and look as scary as possible. Or vice versa, to appear more powerful and beautiful for your beloved woman.
Bitter truth
If you look at it from a different point of view, it turns out that this disease is not as harmless as it seems at first glance. The problem of dissatisfaction with your body is of a psychological nature. It negatively affects the boy at a young age and is expressed in his desire to change his male figure in an instant. Young men who have wide back syndrome want to look beautiful not only for cameras, but also for themselves, thereby being deceived. This demeanor is bad for the boy. It is necessary to talk to the young man as often as possible. Tell him how beautiful he is, that you like it in its natural form. Or advise him of a good fitness club where you can really build up your muscle mass... The thin torso will no longer be so noticeable and Long hands... Remember that young, successful guys tend to deeply exaggerate and argue with others, especially with adults. It will not be so easy to convince the young man.
Ambulance
It is necessary to take a comprehensive approach to the situation. In any case, this is a solvable problem, but training alone is indispensable. Everything lies deep in the subconscious of a young man, and the correct way to cure a patient is individual psychotherapy. At a young age, all the obstacles do not care, there would be purposefulness and self-confidence. Relatives and close friends can do a lot. The opinion of others plays a very important role for a young man who is not confident in himself.
Many girls like a handsome male figure, but not many guys manage to achieve the desired result. Therefore, young people are ready to do a lot to get the long-awaited pumped-up body. Hence, such a disease as the syndrome of the imaginary broad back is taken. He looks especially stupid with tall and thin guys. Young guys think that they can handle everything, and that with their gait they will slay all the girls on the spot. From the outside it doesn't look quite like that. The boys tilt the back of their heads back and spread their legs wide when normal walking, ostensibly seeking the respect of his friends. In fact, such a gait only evokes the laughter of others. Of course, such walking helps young people to move in inclement weather or in strong winds (and this is how sailors moved on ships), but in ordinary life, this gait looks ridiculous. This is where overconfidence can lead.
Microblogs in social networks have recently been overflowing with photographs, the logical explanation for which is quite difficult to find. And it looks like selfies of girls with pouty lips are going down in history. The new "virus" this time struck young people, and its name is the syndrome of the imaginary broad back. What is it? Where did it come from? What are the reasons for this fashion? Let's try to understand the essence of the problem.
Causes of occurrence
Today, the presence of an athletic and sculpted body is elevated to a cult. And there is a very simple explanation for this. All over the media space, celebrities who have extremely developed muscles are in sight. And each of them is ready to talk indefinitely about the invaluable benefits of "pumping" the body. Athletic bodies have become the new benchmark for beauty.
Of course, this could not but leave a mark on the fragile minds of young people. However, few of them understand that such beauty is achieved by hard work in gyms, and it is necessary to work for a long time. But you want everything at once, without much difficulty. This is the main cause of broad back syndrome.
Symptoms of the appearance
It is very easy to find those affected by the new "virus", it is enough to visit a person's personal page on any social network to determine the presence of a "disease" by the following signs:
- unnaturally straightened back, they say about such people: "swallowed the stake";
- piercing and stern look;
- arms spread apart and slightly bent at the elbows, giving the impression that the "model" carries the wheels from the car under his armpits.
If the above signs are present in the photo, then we can safely refer the user to patients with broad back syndrome. In most cases, such people do not have trained bodies, but, on the contrary, are either painfully thin or frankly fat. But you really want to create the impression that it is better not to get involved with such a "strong man". It's like in the wild - birds during the mating season fluff up their feathers in front of a rival in order to appear more physically.
If these signs are present, it is necessary to urgently start treatment. This is quite a feasible task for the relatives and friends of the "patient".
Treatment methods
You can get rid of such a selfie ailment, and it's not difficult. If nothing is done, then, most likely, the disease will disappear with age, but there are exceptions.
For all the seemingly frivolity of the problem, one should not underestimate the effect of the syndrome on human consciousness. A young man, wanting to look stronger and more brutal, imagines himself as such, instead of achieving real results in the gym.
This situation is reminiscent of a half-starved student to whom his parents unexpectedly sent money, and he begins to spend it right and left to give the impression of a rich man. This is the psychological root of the problem, which will ultimately lead to a decrease in self-esteem, a lack of incentive to constantly work on oneself, dissatisfaction with life and, as a result, to prolonged depression.
For effective treatment the syndrome of a supposedly wide back, relatives and friends need to timely detect the signs of a "disease", convince the "patient" that he is already attractive enough, and it makes no sense for him to resort to self-photographing in such a strange way, to motivate him to go in for sports by presenting a fitness subscription club, for example. These measures will make it possible to achieve real, not imaginary, results.
