It really is a sign you need to work on it. I’ve progressed from doing light chest stretches (in a doorway) to using a foam roller on my mid/upper back. Slowly roll up and down with arms outstretched to the sides, pausing every once in awhile and just laying back on the roll. Not only does it stretch out tight muscles in the FRONT (chest, ribs, etc), but it also works out knots in the BACK that occur from poor posture. I foam roll a couple days a week for like 5 mins each session and it keeps my neck pain away!!
@@coryjohnson2486 this is called myofascial release. The idea that joints, muscles tissue, and nerves are actually longer than the mobility we're allowed. We are limited neurally and myofascial release with a foam roller allows for the muscle-brain connection to feel safe in certain position so it won't restrict itself. Fascia also is very flexible and almost net like, but it's strong and can calcify if left stagnant in certain positions. So doing foam rolling, massaging muscles/nerves afflicted, and posture exercises will not only correct posture and mobility problems, but also give you a wider range.

As someone with a structural hyperkyphosis (meaning I can't correct posturally, my bones are literally the wrong shape) I really appreciate the way you spoke about it and posture more generally in the video. I was bullied for the way my spinal problems make me look and often these posture videos leave me feeling awful about myself but for once I felt respected and treated with kindness.
Here is something that should help you out allot, 1 get yourself a peanut foam roller, 2 get yourself a pull-up bar, 3 get yourself a pair of fluffy tennis wristbands, and 4 get yourself a pair of weightlifting straps. Step 1 lay on the peanut foam roller and have it at the top of your upper back, lift your butt off the ground a little bit so your back is leaning more onto the roller, breath in your nose and out your mouth slowly until you feel the muscle go loose. Step 2 slowly roll onto the next part of the spine just below the part you just loosened, and repeat what you just did. Step 3 when you get to the lower back, just roll back up the spine slowly, and then back down the spine slowly, increase the speed slowly until you feel like there is nothing tight in the mid and upper back muscles anymore. Step 4 put some weight on your sternum whilst you are on the roller, try to find the max weight you can hold on your chest whilst still being able to comfortably deep breath, now roll up and down the spine to fully loosen the muscles. Step 4 put your tennis bands on, put your weightlifting straps on, stand on a platform and wrap the straps around your pullup bar, don't have your hands wide, keep your hands directly above you shoulder width apart only, now take your feet off the platform and completely hang, do this and deep breath until you start to feel a burn in your back somewhere, or until your hands get a little tired then stop. If your hands get a little tired then take a short break, then hang on the bar again, and keep going on and off until you feel a burn. Step 5 get a chair or a foot stool, get on your knees and rest your elbows on the edge whilst having your hands behind your head, deep breath again and let your back bend like a bridge, now if you dont feel anything happening on your back, then move your knees away from the chair a little, then go back to bending, and now you should feel a little pinch happening on your back, now deep breath until your back can't take anymore and then you are done. Now you can do the exercise in this video, but you will be able to do it way better from having the flexibility to be in the proper position, also you will get more out of it from being able to better contract the right muscles. You do have to go to a chiropractor as well though, getting all the vertebrae pushed back into their correct position can only properly be done at a chiropractor. Now once thats done you emmediately start doing what I explained above, this will speed up you being adjusted into a better position, and then it will keep your upperback from having to get pushed back into a better position again. Hope this helps you out allot ❤️🙂
@@bulletproof1581 I know you want to help and give proper advice, but many times you can't do nothing with your back unless you go to surgery and this applies to Morbus Scheuermann disease too. I've been trying to keep my back from further deteriorating by doing many pull ups + different exercises (deadlifts and squats are also very viable if health allows it) and as years went, I can proudly say that it stoppped.
Shit free helping content and actual valuable sources used and show, all in less than a minute, that’s a top tier fitness influencer you just became the better I’ve ever seen
A really good trick to add to telling yourself to "stand up straight" is to activate your deep core. Many people know what their core is and can tense their abs for a little while but they rarely activate their pelvic floor and lower abdomen muscles. It will help your balance and posture amazingly. Bit of random video but woman explains quite well. "5 Exercises to improve balance" Indy Jamma Jones 3:07 into the video.
Awareness of your posture in general is the first step. You are already well on your way inside you to making it happen. Try a pull-up bar and let your body relax into the stretch. This for me works wonders, and with my stretching and qigong routine, I am sure i grew at least an inch or two by opening up my spinal column’s spaces. Also helps to release pain as well.
Just do I what did: Get you're parents to send you to a boarding school as a toddler which is ran by a mean and violently abusive, completely unhinged, rac*st British lady. Who will literally beat and violently train the lessons of etiquette and poise into you from a young age thus effectively guaranteeing the lessons will forever remain as part of your identity on a subconscious level... (fair warning though there's a sh*tton of trauma that comes with this method, but idk childhood trauma for straight back seems like a fair trade I guess.)
He made another video on this same stretch on tiktok quite a while back. I work in a hospital and after every shift I do this on the elevator on my way out. The cracks that I get from between my shoulders is unreal. This stretch has changed my life. I've never been able to pop this section of my back before. So satisfying
If a person doesnt understand what theyre doing is wrong then theyll never change it. Having a bad posture is seen as unattractive because a person with bad posture does not care about their physical health.
I disagree. I think people could be less sensitive. He’s giving out good advice with a spoonful of sugar, but if you take his advice you must agree it’s unattractive. It’s needles body positivity. Either love yourself or don’t and change. It’s real cringe to hear people condescended to like this.
I figured out this one on my own while trying to relieve back pain and that stretch feels like heaven. You have to start slowly though especially if you're not used to moving or else it will hurt A LOT
Bro i just did this and i will not lie was tbe best feeling ive ever felt. Thank you so much. Will be doing this more often. Gotta get my posture up right i feel like i been hunching for so long i forgot how it feels to be upright.
I had to do this in pt because of my weak joints I'm SO GLAD to see a short for it! Thanks man your doing an amazing thing for a lot of people! This exercise saved me a lot of shoulder pain from 9 years of competitive swimming
What the fuck thats insane. My posture was ass and I was never able to fix it. I did this exercise once and it feels like the most normal thing in the world to sit straight up. For it to stay like that I will have to do it more often tho
Was just gonna say all the things they say during physical therapy for at home or work exercises made no sense or improvement this looks like it makes sense .. and my back possibly not hurt as much / become straighter 🥴
I've NEVER had a sensation in my back like that, and I train my back all the time (I'm a trade worker and would like to retire without the constant agony). I love how David is just loaded with interesting knowledge, and endless routines for varying goals. Definitely my favorite fitness influencer out there.
@@GreyKingsOfficiala rep means you do an action once, so for example lets say you do a single push up that is 1 rep. Now you do 10 pushups back to back one after another thats 10 reps. When people say sets they mean how many times you will do 10 pushups. So lets say you do 10 pushups you rest for a minute and then do another 10 you completed 2 sets of 10 reps of pushups. In the context for the video he is saying to start off with raising and lowering your arms 10 times one after another in one sitting, so 10 reps. Hopefully this helps put it into context and makes sense.
I know right, maybe there’s some people who don’t usually keep their backs straight might be difficult, or maybe it wasn’t difficult in general. Idk depends.
This comment made me get up and do it and I scrapped my hand on a mirror mounted to the wall and now it's bleeding. 😂😂 I just thought it was important for you to know what happened due to this comment.
That tall, noble posture feels so much better, especially when combined with low breathing. I used to slouch, and then I learned to sing. Making that adjustment is worth it.
Thank you so much for saying the curve isn’t unhealthy. I hate my “tech neck” and do want to straighten my spine, but knowing it would be just for personal aesthetics takes away a lot of pressure
Unfortunately it’s not quite that simple there is a point where it’s a problem and I’m there 😢That being said pt is working wonders and it hasn’t been a big issue for me as much as of late
It is extremely unhealthy. Affects neck, lower back, hips, walking, even migraine-connected. Please don't argue or believe what you want to believe. Anything unnatural like that is nothing but bad.
It’s definitely not optimal as we age. Just think of the forces involved. We are putting more pressure on smaller surface areas when we hunch over or arch our lower back
David, thank you so much. In an era where everyone and their uncle are creating content, this is truly an eye opening and useful video. I will begin this exercise tomorrow. Thanks again.
I'm 33 years old and in pretty decent shape, but I still hurt my back at work a couple years ago just by turning my torso in the direction opposite where I was facing....basically hyper-extended something due to low flexibility. Was out of work for a month, I got better after a lot of rest and therapy but have dealt with similar and related issues ever since. The value of having a healthy posture and a flexible spine CANNOT be overstated.... You never know you'll hurt yourself until it's too late, so you can't ever be too safe.
This is genius! It's the first exercise I've done for my curved back which feels like it's doing something! I'll be doing the daily. It's is so hard to keep your wrists and ribs in contact!
I love this so much! Thanks for starting with how “hunched” posture is not unattractive, and for mentioning peer-reviewed articles to support your statements.
My insecurities in my teens seems to have put me down the path towards hyperhyphosis, and I gotta say you make that stretch look crazy easy, I can barely manage with just my elbows on the wall :,) I want to correct all those years of poor posture and flexibility, and this seems like a really good simple step to work towards that. Your advice is really helpful and motivating, thank you!
I’m going to name a Villain Kyphosis. And his entire shtick will be that he manipulates your body and forces you into extremes of posture. He has other abilities, but he makes sure that you are stuck in whatever position feels the least natural and comfortable to you specifically at the end of any fight.
i really appreciate you acknowledging that its something to work on *if* you want to, instead of spreading misinformation abt it being bad for you or inserting any biases about what postures are 'attractive'. mad respect
I wish I could like this video a thousand times. ✨💪🏼 Thank you for bringing me hope. I used to be much more aware of these kinds of things, and my body in general, but the depression-anxiety-depression-anxiety-trauma-depression-anxiety tidal-wave-laden storm full of rollercoasters of the last years has worn me out and kept me OUT of my body. Didn't feel safe or welcome to be here. I have been doing about 1-3 of your short videos per day for the last few days, and your wholesome kindness, clear, concise way of communicating knowledge, and seemingly pure intention feels so soothing, inspiring and helpful. You are an excellent teacher (and learner, obviously, because even if you've discovered this information completely on your own, outside of any school, you clearly embody it). Those are exactly the kind of people I seek to learn from. Many thanks to you for all you've been doing, and to the YTs for recommending you. You're doing a great job, kind sir. I'm looking forward to getting back to, and staying, flexy.
I had pretty good posture as a teenager and then I had a crush who had ‘bad’ posture and I thought he was so cute I ended up mimicking it 😂 I’m trying to get back to a better one again though because when I’m sewing all day it can become uncomfortable
I got compliments on my posture as a teen, then had twins at 20. When I say I slump, I’m not kidding, and it hurts! I’m working on it, but my core needs strengthened and it’s a whole ‘nother lifetime since I was able to stand up straight. Those twins are 22.5 years old now, and I was 20 when I had them.
@@Empyrean_Enigma her core stability was obviously negatively impacted by birthing twins man show some consideration. It’s not just the case of “stop slumping” when it takes deliberate consideration and isolated training to re-establish a better natural posture.
@@johannesjrgensen440 you’re 100% right, when pregnant it’s like your body wants to curl towards your belly, and it takes so much energy from you to be pregnant, and then when you have the babies, you hold them to your breast and your posture naturally curved towards your baby. It’s unnatural to sit straight while holding a baby.
@@Aushirye yes it does All factors being equal everybody will prefer a person with a good posture over the one with a bad one But of course if you are a gigachad with bad posture people will like you more than a ugly mf with good posture
This.. is so hard 😀😀😀😀 Trying to keep my back straight is making me already tired. but man, i have to do this. not only good posture is very helpful to stop my back aching like hell everytime i take notes on school, but good posture totally makes you attractive and confident To all the hunched backs out there trying to fix their backs , Goodluck to us!

Step 4 put some weight on your sternum whilst you are on the roller, try to find the max weight you can hold on your chest whilst still being able to comfortably deep breath, now roll up and down the spine to fully loosen the muscles. Step 4 put your tennis bands on, put your weightlifting straps on, stand on a platform and wrap the straps around your pullup bar, don't have your hands wide, keep your hands directly above you shoulder width apart only, now take your feet off the platform and completely hang, do this and deep breath until you start to feel a burn in your back somewhere, or until your hands get a little tired then stop. If your hands get a little tired then take a short break, then hang on the bar again, and keep going on and off until you feel a burn. Step 5 get a chair or a foot stool, get on your knees and rest your elbows on the edge whilst having your hands behind your head, deep breath again and let your back bend like a bridge, now if you dont feel anything happening on your back, then move your knees away from the chair a little, then go back to bending, and now you should feel a little pinch happening on your back, now deep breath until your back can't take anymore and then you are done.
Now you can do the exercise in this video, but you will be able to do it way better from having the flexibility to be in the proper position, also you will get more out of it from being able to better contract the right muscles. You do have to go to a chiropractor as well though, getting all the vertebrae pushed back into their correct position can only properly be done at a chiropractor. Now once thats done you emmediately start doing what I explained above, this will speed up you being adjusted into a better position, and then it will keep your upperback from having to get pushed back into a better position again. Hope this helps you out allot ❤️🙂
@@bulletproof1581 I know you want to help and give proper advice, but many times you can't do nothing with your back unless you go to surgery and this applies to Morbus Scheuermann disease too.
I've been trying to keep my back from further deteriorating by doing many pull ups + different exercises (deadlifts and squats are also very viable if health allows it) and as years went, I can proudly say that it stoppped.

Shit free helping content and actual valuable sources used and show, all in less than a minute, that’s a top tier fitness influencer you just became the better I’ve ever seen
I hope this works because for months maybe years I’ve just been trying to “stand up straight” whenever I remember
A really good trick to add to telling yourself to "stand up straight" is to activate your deep core.
Many people know what their core is and can tense their abs for a little while but they rarely activate their pelvic floor and lower abdomen muscles. It will help your balance and posture amazingly.
Bit of random video but woman explains quite well. "5 Exercises to improve balance" Indy Jamma Jones 3:07 into the video.
@@BinalYTthank you for this!
Awareness of your posture in general is the first step. You are already well on your way inside you to making it happen. Try a pull-up bar and let your body relax into the stretch. This for me works wonders, and with my stretching and qigong routine, I am sure i grew at least an inch or two by opening up my spinal column’s spaces. Also helps to release pain as well.
Just do I what did: Get you're parents to send you to a boarding school as a toddler which is ran by a mean and violently abusive, completely unhinged, rac*st British lady. Who will literally beat and violently train the lessons of etiquette and poise into you from a young age thus effectively guaranteeing the lessons will forever remain as part of your identity on a subconscious level... (fair warning though there's a sh*tton of trauma that comes with this method, but idk childhood trauma for straight back seems like a fair trade I guess.)

Your comment made me shoot so much snot out of my nose (cause it was so funny)
😂
Well, he just said there's a study showing it's not harmful, so I'm gonna continue cave-trolling this thing
He made another video on this same stretch on tiktok quite a while back. I work in a hospital and after every shift I do this on the elevator on my way out. The cracks that I get from between my shoulders is unreal. This stretch has changed my life. I've never been able to pop this section of my back before. So satisfying
just tried this
and my word it feels amazing. hits that spot between the shoulders like crazy!!
Me: "I should totally do that."
Also me when I actually have time: "No... No I don't think I will."
You are a Muracle Worker!! Thank you for these videos!
I have been hoping all over the place and I am like 225lbs after doing you exercises. Thank you I feel great and I am losing weight little by little.
R u a bot?
I love the way that he doesn't make us feel unattractive or it's something that's so wrong. Need more people like him on the internet.
Agreed
If a person doesnt understand what theyre doing is wrong then theyll never change it. Having a bad posture is seen as unattractive because a person with bad posture does not care about their physical health.
@@rashedhelal5065 "this curve is not bad for you and does not need to be fixed" did you even listen?
I disagree. I think people could be less sensitive. He’s giving out good advice with a spoonful of sugar, but if you take his advice you must agree it’s unattractive. It’s needles body positivity. Either love yourself or don’t and change. It’s real cringe to hear people condescended to like this.
@@drakep271 just because it’s not bad doesn’t make it unattractive
I figured out this one on my own while trying to relieve back pain and that stretch feels like heaven. You have to start slowly though especially if you're not used to moving or else it will hurt A LOT
Did hurt for me a bit :(
Bro i just did this and i will not lie was tbe best feeling ive ever felt. Thank you so much. Will be doing this more often. Gotta get my posture up right i feel like i been hunching for so long i forgot how it feels to be upright.
I had to do this in pt because of my weak joints I'm SO GLAD to see a short for it! Thanks man your doing an amazing thing for a lot of people! This exercise saved me a lot of shoulder pain from 9 years of competitive swimming

I did this exercise once and it feels like the most normal thing in the world to sit straight up. For it to stay like that I will have to do it more often tho
Was just gonna say all the things they say during physical therapy for at home or work exercises made no sense or improvement this looks like it makes sense .. and my back possibly not hurt as much / become straighter 🥴
Good posture is a difficult thing to obtain.and maintain, but having good posture makes for less backpain. Keep up the good work, bro! 👍
@@mdbgamer556 the video quite literally cites a study showing that there's no correlation between posture and back pain.
@@2GoatsInATrenchCoat In my personal experience, it has, but I may have other problems. I missed that part of the video.

I've NEVER had a sensation in my back like that, and I train my back all the time (I'm a trade worker and would like to retire without the constant agony). I love how David is just loaded with interesting knowledge, and endless routines for varying goals. Definitely my favorite fitness influencer out there.
Woww, even just 10 reps feel so great. I feel like I’m even breathing better
I am VERY new to workout things, what is a rep?
@@GreyKingsOfficial it’s short for repetition if I’m not wrong
@@GreyKingsOfficialrep is repetition
@@GreyKingsOfficiala rep means you do an action once, so for example lets say you do a single push up that is 1 rep. Now you do 10 pushups back to back one after another thats 10 reps. When people say sets they mean how many times you will do 10 pushups. So lets say you do 10 pushups you rest for a minute and then do another 10 you completed 2 sets of 10 reps of pushups. In the context for the video he is saying to start off with raising and lowering your arms 10 times one after another in one sitting, so 10 reps. Hopefully this helps put it into context and makes sense.
@@GreyKingsOfficialit means she did 10 of these

I know right, maybe there’s some people who don’t usually keep their backs straight might be difficult, or maybe it wasn’t difficult in general. Idk depends.

@@beenishchoudhry7315 I guess words do hurt LMAOOO
That tall, noble posture feels so much better, especially when combined with low breathing. I used to slouch, and then I learned to sing. Making that adjustment is worth it.
Thank you so much for saying the curve isn’t unhealthy. I hate my “tech neck” and do want to straighten my spine, but knowing it would be just for personal aesthetics takes away a lot of pressure
You explained it so well! That's just what makes it so good to know
Unfortunately it’s not quite that simple there is a point where it’s a problem and I’m there 😢That being said pt is working wonders and it hasn’t been a big issue for me as much as of late
It is extremely unhealthy. Affects neck, lower back, hips, walking, even migraine-connected. Please don't argue or believe what you want to believe. Anything unnatural like that is nothing but bad.
Sadly, it is indeed problematic; if not now then later. But of course we can change that :)
It’s definitely not optimal as we age. Just think of the forces involved. We are putting more pressure on smaller surface areas when we hunch over or arch our lower back
David, thank you so much.
In an era where everyone and their uncle are creating content, this is truly an eye opening and useful video.
I will begin this exercise tomorrow.
Thanks again.
Tomorrow 😂😂😂
did you do the exercise?
I'm 33 years old and in pretty decent shape, but I still hurt my back at work a couple years ago just by turning my torso in the direction opposite where I was facing....basically hyper-extended something due to low flexibility. Was out of work for a month, I got better after a lot of rest and therapy but have dealt with similar and related issues ever since. The value of having a healthy posture and a flexible spine CANNOT be overstated.... You never know you'll hurt yourself until it's too late, so you can't ever be too safe.
This actually hurts but i feel refreshed after I'm done!
Same experience here
This dude is enlightening my days. I'm having hope again.
You're making a big difference man, your content is criminally underrated !
This is genius! It's the first exercise I've done for my curved back which feels like it's doing something! I'll be doing the daily. It's is so hard to keep your wrists and ribs in contact!
I love this so much! Thanks for starting with how “hunched” posture is not unattractive, and for mentioning peer-reviewed articles to support your statements.
Lol he's just incorrect tho.
My insecurities in my teens seems to have put me down the path towards hyperhyphosis, and I gotta say you make that stretch look crazy easy, I can barely manage with just my elbows on the wall :,) I want to correct all those years of poor posture and flexibility, and this seems like a really good simple step to work towards that. Your advice is really helpful and motivating, thank you!
Update?
Same that’s when mine started
"that must be easy, 10 rep ok"
the tense in my upper body to jaw after just 4 rep, is amazingly painful.
My left arm can't full touch the wall 😩

I used to be much more aware of these kinds of things, and my body in general, but the depression-anxiety-depression-anxiety-trauma-depression-anxiety tidal-wave-laden storm full of rollercoasters of the last years has worn me out and kept me OUT of my body. Didn't feel safe or welcome to be here.

I had pretty good posture as a teenager and then I had a crush who had ‘bad’ posture and I thought he was so cute I ended up mimicking it 😂 I’m trying to get back to a better one again though because when I’m sewing all day it can become uncomfortable
Wait I have literally the same story except it was spike spiegel 😭
I got compliments on my posture as a teen, then had twins at 20. When I say I slump, I’m not kidding, and it hurts! I’m working on it, but my core needs strengthened and it’s a whole ‘nother lifetime since I was able to stand up straight. Those twins are 22.5 years old now, and I was 20 when I had them.
@@Empyrean_Enigma her core stability was obviously negatively impacted by birthing twins man show some consideration. It’s not just the case of “stop slumping” when it takes deliberate consideration and isolated training to re-establish a better natural posture.
If you're trying to get a better one I suggest you refund the other one
@@johannesjrgensen440 you’re 100% right, when pregnant it’s like your body wants to curl towards your belly, and it takes so much energy from you to be pregnant, and then when you have the babies, you hold them to your breast and your posture naturally curved towards your baby. It’s unnatural to sit straight while holding a baby.
Your energy is so pure! It feels healthy and happy. Thank u ❤
