Most people with rounded forward shoulders & slouched posture blame it on “tight pecs” and shoulders. But they don’t often ask why those muscles are tight in the first place. Here’s what you need to know to fix the underlying cause 👇

This is the #1 most common mistake I see with the Bulgarian Split Squat. What’s good to know is that it’s easily correctable. When the height of the back leg is in the right position, it allows for better output with less compensation through the low back. Here’s what you need to know 👇

Every home office should have a pull-up bar like this. Force yourself to do a few pull-ups every time you walk through the door. Every couple of hours, do a dead hang. Your shoulders, back, and neck will all feel better.
