LOL..... that was actually before (1977??) he had a Chiro license I think.

Funny as hell though. That is exactly how Franco's English dialict is too.

might be 1976.  i know it's old, but i couldn't stop laughing.

i remember him taking about 2 steps and then folding like a napkin under the fridge.

then the interview with him on the gurney, lol, what a distastrous day for his image.

It couldn't have been easy being Arnolds friend, having to watch him hook up with all the chicks, while you stand around looking all short and stumpy....... waiting patiently for some leftovers to drunk to know that Arnold was no longer doing them. I bet Arnold even took the ugly ones (not counting the way Maria currently looks).

Well, I do recall that he'd flex his chin strongly to his chest, flexing the anterior SCM muscles, thereby protecting the trachea and such.

His hands would be tied behind his back. His sister, Laura used to assist him in this act, but my memory fails following this much info!

The device used to couple the fridge to competitor was defective, thus the basis of Franco's injury and subsequent suit.

Sterno-Cleido-Mastoid muscles (SCM).

I don't even know who you are

Thus

Don't expect anything from you.

And, I do think perhaps you train folks, or something like that?

I'd think, in all respect, twice before hiring someone without a firm grip as to what he is speaking of

So you can produce a reputable picture that labels anterior sternocleidomastiod muscles?  Also, if there are an anterior set, there must also be aa medial or posterior set s well.  Mind to tell us where those are located at?

No. I never said they were anterior or anything else.

I did say that upon flexing the chin to the cest via these and other muscles, you could protect the tracheal area.

That's what they taught me in school, anyway.

Does it really matter?

"What It Is and What It Does
Sternocleidomastoid (SCM) is the big ropey muscle that runs from the mastoid process (the rounded bump behind your ear) to the joint between collarbones and sternum at the base of your throat. This paired muscle pulls the head forward and down, and acts as a checkrein to prevent the head from falling backward. Both of these actions are involved in rolling where you must tuck the head for safety. "

I do know his "Chi Mind Control" bullshit book (self published) is no longer (he charged 0 bucks for that shit back in the late 70's early 80's.
