No matter how Veeky Forums or Veeky Forums you are, posture trumps all

lower-back exercises such as back extensions are extremely helpfull. You'll be always straight without noticing it.

This. Some people might just be able to "stand up straight" but I'd say either they didn't have the problem bad or they just *think* they have good posture and aren't aware they don't.

Posture is like having the correct system across your body of having muscles as strong and as loose as they're supposed to be when almost everything you do is encouraging them to be unbalanced.

Are you retarded? A lot of people have APT, where abs/glutes need strengthening and lowback/hip flexors need to be stretched

How does posture ever get that bad?

I've never had bad posture, but I've never had to "try" to have good posture.

this is true. cheapest/most immediate way to look more attractive is to fix shit posture...especially the head forward bulllshit

>exercising lower back doesn't stretch it
>back extensions don't also involve your core
>Are you retarded?

GOLEM GET YE GONE

Core muscles are key. Strengthen the core and you'll have better posture in no time

They are helpful regardless of your posture. He didn't say they're the only remedy to every posture issue out there.

This is true, OP. And standing tall with good posture also has extremely powerful psychological effects. Sitting up straight and standing up straight seem to foster a strong sense of wakefulness, in me at least.

I've found that a good morning stretching program religiously adhered to, has far-reaching positive effects throughout the entire day.

Really glad this is a thread. I've had shit posture for years and it has caused me a shit ton of problems (excess stress on pelvic floor from weak core and atp causing tense muscles down there, neck issues from forward head tilt and rolled shoulders, bruxism caused or exacerbated by the other issues, etc).

Most with shit posture will eventually have issues according to doctors I've seen. I got fucked and had problems sooner rather than later, but at least im aware of them and about to start physical therapy for it which should (according to the docs) eliminate or greatly improve the problems over time.

But get that shit fixed man, it's worth it,

Posture improves mood and fatigue in depression:

what's a good routine for fixing APT?

Sorry for your lose
You wear shoes with outsole and get buzz cut if u feel too tall

Yoga, your posture is shit because your muscles are not stretched enough. Be warned that it will take months to improve. Work hard and you will notice a difference.

Yoga is tight, but in truth, just doing bridges is enough to set your posture right. Follow these progressions and it'll fix your posture within a few months. Do three sets of 8 and also practice holding the position for intervals of 30 seconds.

>be manlet
>try to fix posture
>get laughed at for trying to look taller
it does more harm than good if you're not 6'+

but i get a double chin when i stand up right

just do deadlifts. the answer to all of your questions.

I fixed my posture in about half a year by following a YouTube vid I saw being recommended once. You also need to drill into your head to sit up straight and maintain good posture all the time. Though cant remember the vid.

Don't pull your head back, dummy. Just straighten your chest

Posture is entirely genetic though and there's nothing you can do to change it.

pulling my shoulders back hurts so fucking much

worst post of the day

>taking bant so seriously you stop trying to improve your life
Also you should note that you shouldn't look like you're straining if you have proper posture; it should look natural.

It's not just banter. It's women's high standards.
