No, all you need to do if fire up the rhomboid and trapezius , work on infraspinatus and supraspinatus , rear deltoid and all that exists around the scapula. Get very very light sandbag and fire up them muscles around the scapula in different positions, did this for 6 months and fixed a pretty bad kifosis.

I had a rounded posture for 12 years in school because I was the tallest kid in my class by far. The thing that helped me get a good posture was training on the bars - mainly pull-ups. I managed to fix my posture with pull-ups in like 1 month. And we were doing only pull-ups and dips, nothing else.

@Domenicaaajay 8 ай бұрын

@@godlysense9065 you could do the back machines at the gym. I can’t do pull up either. Any work out that targets your back works. also need to look at your glute and leg muscles. Sometimes that isn’t strong enough to support our full upper weight which also adds to posture problems.

@Notsogoodguitarguy 8 ай бұрын

@@Domenicaaajay yeah, I had the advantage of having strong lower body, but my upper body was a weak point. And I fixed it somewhat at the bars. But, I wouldn't really advise the gym. I would still advise to go to the bars and do progressive steps to pull-ups, like Australian rows or negative pull-ups.

@heavenlysenju9948 7 ай бұрын

@@godlysense9065Well for me. Deadlifts helped my posture. I noticed my back was hurting after setting a pr for squats. (There were other problems too but that's another issue.) I hadn't done deadlifts since high school football and most of the things I learned there were with bad form. Coming back after all that time with correct form, and, admittedly, me lowkey overworking myself since I wanted to see how far I had come after highschool, I was horrendously sore because my lower back was indeed underdeveloped compared to the rest of my body. This was the most important part for me. It was the worst soreness I ever experienced but not completely unbearable. It forced me to either fix my posture or suffer a lot of pain for about 3 days until the soreness subsided. Been walking with my back straight and my chest out ever since.

@MainUkraine 7 ай бұрын

The best way to fix posture for good is to start exercising the core and the back especially. Once you develop the back muscles with pull ups and the core to support you, back pain and bad posture go away on their own. Also arm hanging from a bar is such an underutilized exercise in today's day and age.
