Anyone else correcting their posture or have done so? I'm full kyphosis mode and have been forever. 6'2 but I look 5'10 when I slouch. Pretty tiring standing up straight but I can do it.
Everyone will tell you how to fix it, but never have done it themselves.
It can't be fixed, it can be slightly corrected, but it'll never ever be 'good posture' on that picture.
Just something you have to wear with pride, you're stuck with it.

The fuck is wrong with your back muscles?

This helped me immensely
After doing this every other day for a couple months my posture visibly improved & pain I would get in my sides from sitting for too long vanished

you are retarded
Why can't you just stand straight? Is it that difficult? Just use a pillow while you use the computer or something.
My posture was awful when I started lifting and this was something I always wanted to fix but never actively spent time on, mostly due to distraction/attention on gains.
Interestingly my posture has fixed itself almost entirely passively. I attribute it first and foremost to hip flexor movements, particularly the deadlift, which I reckon has fixed my anterior pelvic tilt. Almost all lifts and stretches benefit posture though.

Fixing my posture was the reason I started lifting, focused on correct form deadlift and squats. I had awful APT + lumbar lordosis + some scapula staff. Been 7 months, I see progress, doing some posture oriented stretching. Keeping my posture correct is one thing, walking confidently is another, which is better, day by day. We are all gonna make it, brah
Your back muscles are too stretched out all the time and your frontal core is too flexed. You have to do strength excercise for your back muscles to correct that imbalance. Mostly rowing and shrugs
My femurs are rotated with my feet out. Its a skeletal issue and I don't it can be fixed. Ive hurt my back not knowing about the issue beforehand and had to take the year off of lifting.
I think Posture is something you have to deal with

>have severe ATP and thoracic flattening/flared ribs
>start lifting, thinking it will improve by itself
>at first lower back hurts like fuck during most exercises but everyone in the gym who observes me says I'm keeping my spine neutral
>lower back stops hurting and my erector becomes my best body-part, still have flared ribs
>one year latter decide to stop falling for the "compounds are enough for your core" meme
>test my lower back and ab strength to see where I'm at
>lower back is strong as fuark, abs are barely out of untrained territory
>turns out the imbalance in ab/back strength that caused my problems forced my back to take most of the load during compound, exacerbating the imbalance
don't make the same mistake, train your core from the start and try to get it balanced as soon as possible

Sounds similar to me and I'm up to 3.5 plate squat never having trained abs specifically.
What did you add/recommend?

I do: decline weighted crunches, vaccums, pallof presses.
