***DISCUSSION*** How much does posture factor into a developing physique?

[cj111]

what are exercises and things i can do to help out leaning forward, shoulders inward, instead of shoulders back, chest out!

Which one are you ? You lean back chest out?
Try scap wall slides, I got a chiropractor friend and basically said its one of the best ROM exercises for the shoulder. I try and do them but don't always remember. Really shows you how tight your muscles are or aren't

i am the lean forward, shoulders/chest wants to pull forward.

yes, my chest is really tight and it pulls everything forward thus making me looked hunched over some.

sitting at a desk all day does not help! i have been thinking about gettin one of those big rubber balls to sit on at points through out the day to make me sit up straight!

Put one shoulder against a wall and lean into wall.

Another one is in a corner arms bent chest high. Feet together, lean towards corner and hold for 5-10 seconds. Repeat 10 times.
