following along. would desperately like to know as well

stretch chest delts, neck, traps
strengthen upper back, rhomboids, lower/mid traps and erectors
stand up straight
tuck your chin
stablise pelvis + core, neutralise pelvic tilt
be constistent with the above for as long as it takes

thats the basic protocol

you can google everything on this list to the finest detail, dont ever be helpless

there used to be a really useful pic out there, but I don't know where it went. basically it said that sitting at 135º is the healthiest, and sitting at 90ºis actually unhealthy. when you have to sit up straight, put a pillow behind your back i think.

Set a timer for 20 minutes. When it goes off:
stand with your back against a wall
imagine a cord pulling your spine up straight
using the muscles in front of your neck, pull your neck back
extend your jaw forward so you dont choke
hold that pose for 10 seconds

Reset the timer and repeat over and over throughout the day. It will improve khyphosis in about a month and fix it over two.

It WILL hurt, and even give you headaches as your muscles, neves and spine all re-position.

You have to keep maintaining it as long as you continue to live life sitting down (like all of us)

If you don't mind paying for it, Tai Chi from a real teacher.

Every class involves a few minutes of standing, trying to get lined up. If you're out of alignment, the teacher corrects you and you keep holding the posture. Then you take that into movement (forms). One thing you notice is that it takes constant attention to the whole body (not just your head): Head up, chin in, chest relaxed, shoulders relaxed, elbows relaxed, waist tied to the pelvis (core engaged), pelvis down into the thighs, knees relaxed so the quads are engaged. Another thing you notice is that it feels great. If one of these things is off, you may feel okay, but it's not optimal and that one part will begin to effect another.

Of course muscle imbalance is at play, and lifting would help, but ultimately good posture and bad posture are habit patterns. Even muscular guys with their head up can have bad posture in the form of excessive forward thrusting forward of the chest, hips, or lower back.

Otherwise, you're doing a good thing right now. Do it also when you're standing, walking, etc. Get into your body more.

>the /fit/ slouch

Hilarious.

Uninformed suggestion- work back more to balance tightness in chest pulling you foreword.

Deadlifts have not helped at all desu
