This happened to my cousin, but more exaggerated because he has good muscle building genetics. I think he got tired of me ranting about corrective exercises and picking him up by the shoulders to straighten him out whenever I saw him because he has a real gym routine now and looks pretty good.

What are some good corrective exercises to avoid this? My scapula tend to start winging and shoulders dropping the moment I start adding any kind of chest pressing even though my pecs are shit.

This is the ideal posture, anything else is onions as fuck

Deadlifts are my favorite posture lift but really anything that pulls your shoulders back to balance out the pushing. For my cousin doing infinity pushups in his apartment with no equipment I was suggesting under-table rows. What's your current routine? What does your routine look like when your shoulders start to get wonky?

>>76582876
pretty much any upper back thing. Chest-supported rows, high bar rows, seal rows, those sort of things.

But facepulls are the archetypical "fix your posture" exercise because they're easy to do and give you great results fast. Can't go too heavy on them though

aaaaah

protip: don't do that

Just make sure you're doing a 2:1 pull/push volume ratio.

If you're doing 5 sets of a horizontal press do 10 sets of a horizontal pull, if you're doing 5 vertical pressing sets a week do 10 vertical pull sets a week. Even the world record holder in the raw bench Julius Maddox swears by this 2:1 ratio, especially for injury prevention around the shoulders and elbows.

You'll never see a calisthenics athlete with poor posture.

what do you mean 2:1? twice the weight?? so 200kg row for a 100kg bench press wtf

Read his post again, a little more carefully this time.
