Solid thread.

Will definitely read.

Chiro visits and a kneeling chair made a big difference for me.

If you can sit in slightly better posture all day long your posture will improve slightly.

[tanikR32]

I had a grade II tear in my superior labrum to the bicep and have been rehabilitating it without surgery

I'm trying to see my chiro less and less but classroom chairs and computer use are killing me.

I'm trying to see my chiro less and less but classroom chairs and computer use are killing me.

When I sit on a normal computer chair I find I now naturaly gravitate towards hooking my legs underneath and sitting a lot on my hamstrings. Or I find my sitting stance is really wide like a sumo stance.



Also if you go to the gym and tire your muscles completely you go sit in a classroom or at a computer most the time you will be crouching over worse than a normal less fatigue person is.

If you can somehow spend more time lieing down, kneeling, walking and standing I think this is the cheapest way to slowly improve posture.

Currently doing a modified version of routine in Neanderthal No More Part IV (I-III are primers/intro articles). A week in and I'm seeing noticeable improvements in my natural posture and in the ease of actively maintaining better posture during the day.

5 Star thread my friend!
Those articles are money, I see you posted some that I haven't read already!

[MS614]

great thread

[Adaz]

so.... why isn't this a sticky???

[Ironlife]

so.... why isn't this a sticky???

Because everyone here are all too easily captivated by that parrot army thread or army parrot thread.

Because that isn't a sticky?


Besides, it's not like this being a sticky would help newbies find it. (Generally) The only time the newbies find the stickies are when we hold their hands and directly link them to it anyways.

So, just bookmark this thread, and when a posture thread comes up, open the bookmark in a new tab, copy the address, and paste it for the newbie who doesn't know how to search.

[Omar_Gt]

wow!! its going to take a long time going through all the links..
however,,,very very useful and informative thread.
thanks..

[Dominik]

so.... why isn't this a sticky???

Because there are 13 already and whenever I unstick a thread to make room for a new one, people complain.

I've decided to make this a sticky in the Exercises > Injury Recovery And Prevention forum and leave a permanent redirect in the Exercises forum. Sounds like a good compromise.

[Gzus]

Would have posted it here originally, but since people don't use 'Search' who'd expect them to go to Injury Recovery and Prevention for injury prevention information???

No problem and I understand completely. Thanks for putting this list of links together.

[nick1990]

honestly the best thread in this place

For those who dont know what its like to be injured, its rough

There is nothing worse than not being able to do what you want, when you want, or how you want to do it

The OP gave perfect info on how to treat and prevent those injuries form ever happening

This should also be stickied in the TEEN section IMO, because that is the time most injuries occur (at least in my case) from just general lack of knowledge
Also, it would give teens the foundation they need to stay healthy for their entire BB/strongman/weightlifting career

as far as exercises go which ones should you do every day. and which ones should you have rest days in between

The first few times you do SWS (if you do them right) you'd prob be too sore to do any retraction the following day.

So it depends on strength, endurance and whether you're using the associated musculature during work/routine etc. Then it's unlikely that you just need scap retraction, so it would probably be easier to just grab a complete routine.

I assume that you made this thread because you had posture problems yourself?

Wouldn't mind sharing your experience in this event?

Will try too soon.



criminal, Neanderthal IV? You have front squats on Thursday and snatch grip deadlifts on Monday as a part of the default routine.
