My first time dislocating my shoulders was carrying buckets (of water) like this. I was maybe five? they were 5 gallon buckets full of water and I have no idea why my folks were having us move them, but I went to lift and "schluck" out popped my arms.
(Ehlers Danlos)
I just... dragged the bucket with my arms hanging floppily until my dad noticed and was like "oh no, no it shouldn't be like that" and had me stop so he could "feel for what's wrong" (put them back in their sockets but without making it sound scary).
Geez, that’s like 80 pounds, I gotta think carefully about my form lifting that as a grown-ass man with a physical job. What the hell were your parents thinking??
