What did you do to fix this posture?

BluePillEltonJohn · 2019-01-17T21:01:52+00:00

This is the funniest thing I’ve seen in a while

LE_REDDIT_HIVEMIND · 2019-01-17T21:27:27+00:00

This post is so exquisitely autistic, I love it.

lifetolife · 2019-01-17T21:39:45+00:00

imagine coming here for advice, genuinely looking for help, and then this guy shows up and hits you with his picasso-esque ms paint art

Zanford · 2019-01-17T22:17:56+00:00

LMAO I was expecting a selfie or a reference image to an anatomy book or some shit

First of all, bro, you want to become 3D instead of 2D. Those DIMENSION GAINZ are where it's at.

Look up fucking postures and get legit athletic or medical advice. You probably have anterior pelvic tilt...I say that not cuz of your shitty image, but because that's the most common modern posture failure mode.

dr_pavel_im_cia_ · 2019-01-17T23:16:14+00:00

You don't. This is peak physical shape and form

atradervish · 2019-01-17T23:03:17+00:00

Hard next. Abundance mentality.

This is Camus-level absurdity right here

Achilles_Of_Reddit · 2019-01-17T21:49:33+00:00

I’m laughing so fucking hard right now about how absurd this shit is

Cum_Victor · 2019-01-17T22:19:51+00:00

I fixed this posture.

How do I escalate

wanderer779 · 2019-01-17T22:22:34+00:00

overhead squats, dead hangs, yoga, rows, deadli...errr, nevermind you don't have arms.

Herculius · 2019-01-18T03:31:17+00:00

Start with removing the black scribbley demon from your upper chest area. Maybe try an exorcist?

Final_Pantasy · 2019-01-18T01:32:42+00:00

Man tits, a beer belly and looking straight up at the sky?

Lift, eat less, and turn your head down.

Seriously what the fuck is that picture supposed to be depicting?

Iwassleepingawake · 2019-01-17T21:48:13+00:00

Is this a joke? Wtf is that

AnAbsoluteSith · 2019-01-17T23:34:07+00:00

cuztrp · 2019-01-17T23:46:54+00:00

Is he looking up? Arms crossed? Is that chest hair?

Dreams_of_Conquest · 2019-01-18T00:25:09+00:00

fretbord · 2019-01-18T02:59:48+00:00

zeekt12 · 2019-01-17T22:34:21+00:00

But to answer your question,

rear delt flies
face pulls
deadlifts
direct neck training (neck curls, extensions, bridges)

lokilis · 2019-01-17T22:32:52+00:00

What am I looking at? lmao

AntiSharp · 2019-01-17T23:11:40+00:00

This some saggy titties

Luxray_15 · 2019-01-18T00:17:26+00:00

What do you mean "fix"? I wish I had this posture.

distressingprocedure · 2019-01-17T22:04:14+00:00

I realised that watching clouds float by was a huge waste of time and ceilings weren't as interesting as I had thought. Don't worry bro you'll make it. I just stare at the floor now instead, much easier on the neck.

BurntYams · 2019-01-18T18:38:24+00:00

This post is going to be iconic

LonesomeSidLeon · 2019-01-18T14:00:54+00:00

I cant even get thru the fucking comments... Im alone in my garage laughing so hard Im crying. I had to leave the house because its 6 in the fucking morning and I dont want to wake everyone up.

eccentricrealist · 2019-01-17T23:43:18+00:00

I'd draw a spine while I'm at it

pre-death · 2019-01-18T01:47:53+00:00

Is he standing upside down?

masterbaterchief · 2019-01-18T02:30:55+00:00

Strip naked at a lake, preferably a vacant one. Proceed to walk far enough through the water to where you may easily pop a squat low enough to where only your nuts dip into the lake. Only then will you truly understand what this all means.

Atheist_Utopia · 2019-01-18T09:08:52+00:00

11/10 would Paint™ again

IDK which way he is facing; left or right?

nebula79283 · 2019-01-17T22:49:06+00:00

😂😂😂

SeriousProfit · 2019-01-17T23:14:38+00:00

For anyone seriously wondering how to fix posture from a previous hunchbacked gamer, do this.

Work the posterior chain.

Deadlifts, Rows, Pullups, Rear delt flys, Facepulls.

It works. Also you can get a posture brace for 15 dollars on amazon, wear it 30 minutes a day combined with working out and you will have amazing posture within a month.

MCAsomm · 2019-01-17T23:43:10+00:00

Very seriously start doing back exercises (deadlifts, shoulder blade thingies, etc) to strengthen your back. That's a good starting point for any problem.

saladon · 2019-01-18T10:37:26+00:00

The fuck is this skinny Easter Island shit supposed to be.

moppalady · 2019-01-17T23:55:47+00:00

Can someone explain this I'm really confused haha

mykillclimbin · 2019-01-17T23:08:48+00:00

Lift

INNASKILLZ2K18 · 2019-01-18T02:18:41+00:00

If you can afford it, find somewhere that does Alexander Technique. It's a thing done by a lot of great stage actors and performers in general. They have somebody fix your posture back to it's natural best. Pretty amazing results.

Rerel · 2019-01-18T11:22:22+00:00

Lmao looks like a totem head.

AscensionExperiments · 2019-01-17T20:48:46+00:00

what the fuck is this

a shitty Paint image? Use your words, describe what you were TRYING to show

cptgoatsack · 2019-01-18T17:33:32+00:00

Are you jizzing in your face?

alittletoosmooth · 2019-01-18T18:56:03+00:00

Im in complete awe. I've been using reddit for a long time, and I have NEVER given this many upvotes in one thread. Holy fuck this made my day lol

SICFJC · 2019-01-18T00:31:00+00:00

this is a really bad drawing and is a total shitpost. The image displays no discernible postural imbalances.

pre-death · 2019-01-18T01:45:59+00:00

April fools?

alaskanarcher · 2019-01-18T09:20:54+00:00

Did you even read the sidebar?

Biglaser666 · 2019-01-18T10:20:11+00:00

Standing cable face pulls, don’t go too heavy just enough to maintain correct form. Overlooked exercise but gets your head in the right position and builds up great posture.

RedPillAlphaBigCock · 2019-01-18T17:17:35+00:00

😂😂😂 The fuck is that?

What is that black shit?

Why is the head the wrong way arround

alleyteris · 2019-01-17T22:18:49+00:00

I belive it is called lordosis ,search google and try again

TRP8myfeels · 2019-01-17T22:57:16+00:00

Personal trainer fixes posture while lifting.

There are some pretty obsessive women out there that come from families where it was a big deal, they will constantly remind you.

Other than that you can put up reminders, set some on your phone, sticky note on your computer, fridge,back of your phone, car dashboard, locker, everywheres.

If you really want to change, keep a loud sign in your face everywhere you turn reminding you to check your posture.

I suggest FAT RED INK with FAT BLACK OUTLINING.

I put down what I'm trying to accomplish in my journal, when I get around to writing in it, so usually I'll give myself some nice self talk

"Hey you, get the oil changed in your car, you are literally fucking it up rn. Rotate the tires and don't puss out on leg day, shit is legit important."

But put in posture. Just keep at it. You will get there. Go hard for 90 days, every way you know to make a new habit. After that it should be natural autopilot.

Or you are fucked.

Romanian deadlifts did it for me. Had a personal trainer when I first started lifting and he made me start every single workout, no matter what it was with Romanian deadlifts. Two weeks later and a very sore back and I was standing up properly.

bearlythere18 · 2019-01-24T20:12:10+00:00

Yoga is a great catchall. I’m 6’ 225 and been doing it for two years and it’s helped tremendously, squatting stacked for the first time in my life.

Specifically: stretch pecs, strengthen lower traps,

learn to keep your core engaged while breathing (belly vs chest breathing), breathing with your nose vs . Mouth.

Stretch psoas Strengthen glutes, lower abs,

Every stretch needs to be accompanied by strengthening of opposing muscle.

Your current posture is the result of years of particular muscle engagement patterns and strength , it will take time and effort to fix , but is certainly doable, and your case isn’t terrible.

Duelist_Roger · 2019-04-25T16:27:55+00:00

All this stuff, what ppl mentioned + STRETCHING.

I'm gonna give you some shitty girly advice, so be careful. I seriously recommend Yoga for It (Go for some manly violent martial arts to make It even)

I started It a few months ago (2 times per week classes and everyday at home) and my posture became way better.

The problem is:

Your muscles are STIFF. Every single time I go to the gym I feel way more stiff than before, so It requires me to do stretching TWICE when I have a training day (so 3 times a week in fact).

My muscles are still stiff as hell compared to those swiftly yoga girls, but It doesn't matter. What matters is, that if you don't ditch stretching you are already above 80~90ish% of Man what don't give a fuck about It.

Few months of stretching and your posture is gonna rock. I'm telling ya.

(Bear in mind, It gets annoying after a while. Compared to lifting what is building up your muscles and boosting your testosterone, stretching is more like struggle, but still good thing to do.)

I hired a stoneworker to make my stonehedge instead of you
