Posture

That's why RP says to lift heavy. Overhead press, deadlifts, etc help iron out poor posture both in muscle structure and beta mindset.

It takes as long as it fucking takes.

Chest and chin up, shoulders back. Walk like a soldier. Walk with pride.

if you want to correct your posture, swimming will help with that. 2 times a week should be enough. I used to have lower back pain, a doctor recommended swimming, and presto. No more pain and great posture.

Start exercising on gymnast rings, they're super affordable and did wonders to my posture. Take a few lesson with a personal instructor though to get the technique right.

Do you even lift? Most likely no, since u guys don't want to dog the work. Start lifting.

Was just comparing some progress pics that span about 7 weeks.

HUGE unexpected posture improvement.

Here's what I did that probably contributed:

1) Deadlifted every day for a month. 3x10 70% of 1RM one day, 3x5 90% of 1RM the next day. Supermans before each deadlift, which helps your brain get used to that thoracic extension for good posture.

2) OHP three days a week, squeeze glutes hard and tighten core.

3) Lots of cable rows with good form.

4) Hip thrusts with a barbell three days a week. Strong ass = good posture.

5) Stretch hips and quads daily (if you sit a lot, these get tight and give you anterior pelvic tilt, which then throws your upper back into a hunch).

6) Facepulls for rear delts.

I took alexander technique lessons for a couple of months but they were pretty expensive. You become super aware of your posture and how you project yourself to those around you.

Look up laying in the "constructive rest position" which is the cornerstone of the Alexander Technique. This defiantly helps realign your back if your getting too used to sitting in an office chair.
