Your chest is so tight it's pulling your shoulders forward. So stretching should help. Back is probably weaker so it can't counter the pull of your chest

Another aspect is actively pulling your shoulders back. Catching yourself when you slouch.


my first thought

basically you should make sure to stretch your pecs in case thats the issue, also focus on maintaining a good posture all the time and it'll improve

e/ stretch your abs too

this = very tight chest and weak back muscles. Stop working out your chest for a while and focus on corrective exercises and stretches. Otherwise this will get worse

scapula is weak. chest/biceps are tight. OPEN UP THAT CHEST,

i know alot about this. work with many clients on this. i hurt my back years ago doing t bar rows and bench pressing. exercise is like a medication. you need to find the right prescription.

#1: do supermans exercise for 5 mins a day everyday from now on.

#2: do isometric scapula row holds for 10 seconds x10 reps x4 sets with bands with the handles or a ribbon (wrap around soemthing)

that will strengthen some of the weaknesses in your back.
do the super mans with your arms over head (picture your body like an I, out over your head Y, out the side T, then make your arms like a W and pinch those scapula in)

#3: FOCUS ON YOUR POSTURE ALL THE TIME.
pinch those scaps back and puff that chest out, keep your head up, squeeze abs in, tighten glutes, and keep tension on the quads (be in tune with your body and how you carry yourself)

#4: FOAM ROLL THORACIC PART OF YOUR BACK THOROUGHLY

#5: place your palm out to the side on the wall, fingers facing up, whilst arm is parallel with the floor. then while scapula is tucked in arm out the side on the wall, turn slightly to stretch the biceps and the chest.

#6: I call this the messiah. stand up in correct posture extend arms out to the side with scapula pinched in and core tight. turn hands out and backwards whilst opening your chest and pulling the arms back aswell. move arms up and down really turn those wrists out.

#7: stand in door way or corner of a room. open up chest in door way, lean in and brace against the door way or corner. keep wrists and elbows lined up with each other.

#8: BE CONSISTENT.

looks like you're sticking your pelvis forward.

stand with the weight on your heels, and stand up straight, doesn't look like a muscle imbalanace/problem.

That's because the scapula isn't a muscle. He wants you to do bent over isometric rows using tensioner bands around your feet
