Always be concious of your posture. Whenever you realise you've adopted a poor posture, correct it. After a while you stop having to think about it and adopt a good posture by default. For me this took about three weeks.

>identify what your posture lacks
>do exercises that correct it
i had mild scoliosis. did very light deadlifting for a year. its gone now.
its really not rocket science. learn what muscle pulls which body area and train it while stretch the antagonist.

Always puff your chest out, back straight

It's not that easy. E.g. how do you train hamstrings only?
Deadlifts et al. are not advised to moderate scoliosis-lordosis cases too

Get a comfy chair?
Lie down.
Sleep.on side compression,
I've been doing SS for 4 weeks now and already Ive stalled on an excercise.
Heres my bench
40kg 5, 5, 5
45kg 5, 5, 5
47.5 kg 5, 5, 5
50 kg 5, 5, 5
52.5 kg 5, 5, 5
55 kg 5, 4, 5
today I did 57.5kg and couldnt even do 3 reps on my first set.
Im going on holiday for the next week so the next time ill be benching is 18th July. while on holiday Ill have no access to gym equipment and so I was wondering what I should do?
Is stalling this early a sign im doing things wrong? should I deload when I get back from holiday or just try 57.5kg again? should I try and do pressups and dips while im on holiday?
Im progressing okay on all my other exercises but im pretty sure this friday I will stall on my shoulder press when I try lifting 30kg. I could Only do 5,5,4 when i tried 28kg last time

as i said i had mild scoliosis diagnosed around 17 years old. i have seen the xrays - confirmed by doc
i did deadlifts with the hilarious amounts of 30kg-60kg. along with hanging from a pullupbar
next time xrays were made it was fucking gone confirmed by doc.
also gave me OK for heavy deadlifts with this spine
its only logical developing erector spinae muscles pushed my spine back in place over time.

>severe scoliosis
No that's a tumor m8

Why is rippetoe so fat?
>round shoulders
How do I fix that shit. Its not as bad as in the pic but its easily noticeable ....
>>37823941
Ill try to improve my posture and start deadlifting. Something else?
>>37822403
is my back fucked up?
I find it really comfortable to kind of lean on one leg or the other, having my hip cocked one way or the other. Whats the deal here?
assuming you guys spend a lot of time at your computer, this is one of the most important things to consider.
>>37824037
same here.
>had pants tailored
>oh your left leg is very slightly longer than your right
i'm still not sure if it is caused by years of leaning on one leg and having bad posture or my legs being slightly different causes me to prefer leaning on one side to be comfortable
>>37822760
No... just no

All you have to do to correct posture is train it.
Standing and walking in general are good for correcting minor problems.
Changing your sleep position helps major problems, I sleep starfish position with a pillow underneath my knees, helped pelvic tilt. Most people tend to sleep on one side always and have a noticeable curve towards the opposite side.
The rest is learning what is wrong, you take your time lifting, while practicing correct posture. Your muscles help support the spine to a more natural position.
Also learning what stretches relax which muscles as this will help use your muscles to stay rigid on one side (pulling down or up) while the muscles on the other loosen and give.

If you fail a weight (getting 5, 5, 4 or whatever) you repeat the weight, don't automatically increase.
If you weren't able to get all your reps at the lower weight, it's pretty unlikely you'll be able to get them all for the next higher weight
I've been on a chiropractic youtube videos lately.
Can it help to get some adjustments?
I'm pretty fucked in my spine, shoulders and pelvis
Anyone else have the issue where certain shirts drape awkwardly over your body. It looks like a godamn tent or something. This most likely correlates to my mild lordosis right ?
>>37825463
This relates to you not buying shirts that fit

Chiropractic and yoga
>>37823294
I had the same problem.
It felt like 3 set was not enough volume to make progress.
Do 5x5. Start by 5-5-3-3-3, 5-5-4-3-3, 5-5-5-3-3, 5-5-5-4-3 etc...
Repeat each step to success one time and you should make slow but steady progress.

Pullups and rear delt raises
It's military posture bad? My chest and upper abs bulge out a little bit but is it bad?
Yoga really helps
>>37825463
Yes your spine is too curved
