Rounded shoulders?

[Ferello]

Im in need of a big posture fix, i have some rounded ass shoulders looking like they are ready to poke someone in the eye, while trying to this this is it best to cut out all chest and shoulder movements(pushing) while working more on my back?

Don't stop working the chest and shoulders; rather, prioritize back (horizontal and vertical pulls) work by increasing frequency and/or volume.

Do you mean from the side? Your shoulder blades?

Do you identify at all with either of the 2 cases at the bottom of this page?

I just replied to someone here (http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showth...hp?t=150411253) about how my doctor helped me fix my shoulder girdle. It's a slightly different problem, but the exercises & advice do crossover to the two problems on exrx.net.

If you stop push exercises you're just compromising important stabilizers such as serratus anterior .. instead is popular to change your routine to 2:1 pull/push ratio.

I also recommend changing the way you do push exercises.
For example do pushups with your shoulders back & down (e.g. the negatives will resemble cable rows), this will really hit your lower/mid traps nicely which are crucial to fix your Kyphosis.

In addition to prioritizing pull movements, don't skimp on stretching your chest and shoulders. You're all tightened up.

Everything you need to know about correcting your posture.

Try to deadlift up to 1rm or to failure for a month. That'll correct your posture.
