Aight after 8 years of experimentations, I've accidentally found a way to fix APT even if I sit all day.
This happened as I sleep on a very thin futon (like 1-2"), and prop the hips up a bit. took...

For the last 5 months I've done a lot of experimentation, a price to pay since buteyko has poor objective case studies.

Breathing through 4mm tubes is bad
Tested the 4mm inside out for couple...

Haven't updated for ages, I'm up to 30s on frolov 5mm (15min cycles)

Apparently i was wrong and 3mm is not recommended at all with 4mm being considered advanced only.
Gonna try 4mm again without...

Found an easy setup for side extensions, this isometric exercise really isolates the obliques nicely, and imo vastly superior to side planks for veteran lifters

See image from January for how this...

I'm at 27sec on the 5mm tube (15min cycles)

I tried 4mm and hit a wall, it's insanely harder (can't even do more than 2-3min cycles), no clue how the buteyko masters do 3mm tubes.
I'll resume 5mm...

Frolov up to 26sec cycles, might move down to 4mm tube soon

- Singing program - finished CD3, still need to practice more to develop the muscles though.
- Frolov device - finally back up to 23sec cycles on the 5mm tube

Although the singing program defo...

- Singing program - doing 8 songs of CD3 now (4 left)
- Frolov device, up to 5mm tubes but had to lower the cycles from 23sec back to 20sec, extremely challenging.

- Singing program - doing 7 songs of CD3 now (5 left)
- Frolov device, up to 22sec cycles (for 15min). Probably gonna move down to 5mm soon

You're right mate, but the "pipedream industry" in prominent in almost all fields nowadays.



It's really refreshing to see threads like this, from people who don't give in to the bs, thank you...

- Singing program - doing 3 songs of CD3 now (9 left)
- Frolov device, up to 19sec cycles (for 15min)

On an unrelated notes, got some gymnastic rings for the squat rack :P
...

Pitch shifted the singing thing by -2 semitones, way easier to follow now full strength, and really feeling the throat muscles after that workout.
Also finished learning all songs on CD2, but gonna...

Ah fair enough, ya man can't beat deads & squats ey! ;)

At the end of the day, for someone who sits as much as me (almost entire day), I think there's a limit to how much exercises can help with...

Thanks for the replies, gave me few ideas can't wait to try out

Trying to get something similar to the feet lock of a roman chair (pic)

So just the bumper the feet are resting on, and the round foam thing that locks them in.

Couldn't find anything, and tbh...

10 Months Conclusion
When I started this thread 10 months ago, I was sleeping 8-9h a day and feeling completely trashed when I woke up. Getting less sleep would often result in headaches throughout...

Forgot to mention I've jury rigged an apnea mask for the frolov device, no air leaks it's quite good.

Aight following the above idea, found a cool alternative for front planks

This is how I set it up atm, probably too risky if I ever add weights, but that's ages...

So pretty bored doing the same exercises for so many years, I miss how exciting lifting used to be in the beginning
I've found even switching small things (e.g. switching benchpress db to bb)...

Nah found nothing new regarding posture man.

What did you post above about mobilization, anything good?
Also did you find any decent alternatives to hip thrusts & planks? been getting pretty...
