How exactly does good posture develop?

I live in London and in 2012 during the olympic games me and my mates got a chance to see olympic athletes up close and in person namely at Stratford Westfield. The most obvious thing we noticed is just how robust and michelangelo statuesque their bodies looked. Not in a pumped bodybuilding way but different. I would say running, sprints and intervals will build nice posture.

Keep working on it and I bet pull downs will help too

I'm no expert but... I think that there is a difference between the good posture that you use in your marching band/military and a more casual everyday-good posture.

You are thinking that in order to have "good posture" you have to walk around like you are marching in your band, with that rigid back, puffed out chest, military style walk. This is wrong.

As far as I understand it, when Seddit tells you to have good posture this simply means keeping your head up (imagine a balloon pulling up on the flat part of the the top of your head) and walking with purpose.

Don't over think it brah!

Also, workout because that helps with literally everything.

People always told me I had shit posture. Once I decided to fix that, I just straightened up whenever I noticed that I was looking down. It's really helped with my confidence too because I don't subconsciously put myself beneath them anymore.

Working really helps. It help strethen my shoulders and natrually help correct my back. But for the most part you are going to have to manually use correct posture until it becomes a natural thing. Unfortunately this can be uncomfortable as first. I notice i use to get tired when standing up with my head straight and shoulders back. But after months of sitting up correctly in chairs. Holding my head straight shoulders back. It has become natural. You just have to make it an everyday effort. If there is a natrual way besides that i would love somebody to share it, but for the most part this is pretty much the process buddy.

Back workouts, I started deadlifting, dips, and pullups a month ago and my posture improved a lot. Squats help for posture as well, make sure your form is good for lifting otherwise you can really hurt yourself.

It's something you'll have to be aware of the rest of your life, but as you work out and get stronger your muscles will naturally adapt and it will be effortless to have good posture. In fact, it will begin to be preferable.

It all also depends on your body, what's tight, what's loose, what's weak, and what's strong. Some people need to loosen up their bodies for better posture, others need to tighten, etc.

Maybe you are trying too hard so it becomes too stiff and unnatural?

Is good posture an overnight thing?

Nah.

Or do I need to practice it 24/7 to make it look good?

Nah. IMO that would be too fanatical.

It's muscle memory. You've spent 20+ years hunched over, straiten your back until it becomes instinct. 1-3 years.

In the mean time build the muscles that support your posture. Abs and glutes. It makes it a bit easier.
