This is not widely known. Some women report having a problem with large width.\n\n  Do lots of oral and hand action.\n\nThen:\n\n   be gentle,\n\n   lube up like greased pig.

Stretching and strength training.  Train your forearms/wrists, delts, lats, abs and leg muscles with higher reps and lowers weights.  Stretch your arm regularly, as flexibility is very important.  I was a little shorter than you in high school and threw 89-91mph.

Your arms have to be double jointed to do that. Or you can jump over your hands.

once you're in your handstand position upside down (the middle of your back handspring) snap your feet to the ground but not squished, stretch your body out a little. make sure you're hollow when you come up. Good luck!

Stretching beyond your reach to touch something you thought you could never feel.\n\nObstacles are barriers and to overcome them is to do whatever it takes to prevent them from stopping you from going where you want to go.

because you mainly are using your arm muscles and sometimes you intwine your arms.

Stretches, point and flex the muscles. try contracting your pelvis too.

I would say keep stretching - every day.  Maybe increase the time that you stretch until you feel that your limbs are reaching optimal flexibility levels.

for any posture that requires you to put a lot of weight on your wrists(e.g. plank pose--sort of like a push up w/o lowering yourself), make a fist instead of an open hand. I have the same problem!\nHope this helps

There are no truly "double-jointed" people. Some people have tendons and ligaments that are not nearly as tight as others, and some have done enough stretching and bending to loosen their ligaments and tendons. The key is going slowly. Ligaments and tendons can separate, tear, and literally snap if you go too far too fast. Slow, smooth repeated motions that gradually extend your range of motion (like yoga) are probably best. You have some genetic limits that are related to how your own particular body is constructed. Someone else may have genetic limits that are greater or less than yours. You can however, in almost every case, improve your flexibility within the limits that your body type imposes.

It depends on the healing of the bones.  If the bones healed incorrectly, it is possible for the arm movement to be limited.  Another possibility is muscle atrophy .  This occurs when certain muscles haven't been used in a while.  Physical therapy and/or can correct this problem.\n\nIn either case, talk with a doctor who can give you specifics on the case in question.

Probably because of wide hips.

The guy above me has it right.  Work on your throwing motion.  That's the only way you're going to throw farther.  Working out your arms will NOT make you throw farther, in fact, having bigger arms usually means losing flexibility and that would actually hurt your throwing strength.  I threw javelin in college, and one thing we learned was that your arm is only going to throw as far as it wants to, trying to force it will only make you shorten your throwing motion and shorten your throws.  Arm strength starts in the legs (oddly enough), its all about getting your whole body into the throw.  So get your throwing motion down, and you will start to throw farther.  You can also start working on your core muscles (stomach, lower back, upper legs), as these will help generate power in your throw more than any other muscle group.  (BTW  I was the exact opposite in high school,  I couldn't make QB either, but I had a cannon for an arm and I couldn't hit the side of a barn.)

sounds like you need to stretch more, you are pulling ligaments inside of your nana, it's not bad, but if you strecth alot, and it still doesn't help, you could be pulling the ligaments/tendons from their connection points on the pelvis
