    I’ve been doing most of these every morning for a month (with some other basics stretches), and I’ve experienced significant help. I’ve struggled for years with upper back/neck pain, and this is the best thing that’s worked for me so far. Thanks for sharing, Jeremy!!!!

I watch alot of channels, but your methodology of getting right into it, with precise details, calm demeanor, body mechanics, and topshelf graphics is unmatched among anyone I've seen. Thanks for all you do, Jeremy, and for raising the bar (pun intended) in the industry on quality bodybuilding videos.

    This is absolutely one of (if not the best) fitness / posture correction explainer videos I've seen on RUclips. It has scientific evidence/citations, clearly tells you what to do (with accessible modifications), where you should feel it (with clear muscle diagrams), and common mistakes / what to avoid. The latter two are especially important to me because I never know if I'm doing strength exercises correctly on my own unless these things are highlighted. Thank you so for all the effort you put into this extremely high quality video 🙌

    I can personally vouch for the value of these exercises, the one that initially made the biggest difference was the thoracic stretch using the foam roller which i started doing after watching your other posture correction video, i didn't realise the difference it had made until it started to get much easier... after a few weeks of performing this daily i got in the car one morning and noticed the rear view mirror was pointing at the seat... strange i thought how did it move? I adjusted it and went about my day... the next morning i got in my other car and noticed the same thing... strange how have both my mirrors moved i thought... then it hit me OMG my posture was the reason! So yeah i now stand taller and straighter than i have for years!

    Jeremy, I have had life long issues with my shoulders and upper back, and it seems “professionals” only addressed the symptoms with each visit. Within two days of trying these exercises (morning and evening), I already see and feel the difference in my posture and mobility. Thank you for providing this content. It feels like a blessing.

    My goal is to try this everyday for 1 month. If I remember, I will update this comment for accountability.
    *Edit: 4 month update. I stopped doing these exercises entirely about 3 weeks after the month was up. But its crazy what 1 month actually did for me. At Christmas 2 months later I had 3 people tell me that my shoulders looked much wider. I'm guessing that it was mostly due to me strengthening my muscles and stretching the chest out. These exercises really do make a difference. I'm starting to include them again in my at home routine that I'm starting.
    *Day Thirtyone:* Damn, its already done. Good shit, probably gonna keep this up 3 times a week or so
    *Day Thirty:* Maintaining my posture throughout the day feels really weird the last few days. I'm wondering if its because on day twenty eight I did a chest workout? Previously, I was doing full body workouts instead of targeting specific muscle groups.
    *Day Twentynine:* Missed a third. My back was really sore today for some reason
    *Day Twentyeight:* Seeing results is super motivating for me. I would recommend people to take pics of themselves and save them for later if you are trying to make any improvements in your body
    *Day Twentyseven:* I looked at pics from a few months ago and I can see a slight improvement in my posture. Pretty happy about that
    *Day Twentysix:* Check
    *Day Twentyfive:* No more pain today luckily. Not doing the pushup plus anymore. Gotta find an alternative exercise to build that muscle
    *Day Twentyfour:* I'm getting a sharp pain in my rightside lower traps. Pushed through but I might take another day off if this continues tomorrow
    *Day Twenythree:* Almost didn't get it done today, I had 2 midterms and was very distracted. But made sure to get er done before bed
    *Day Twentytwo:* I'm not dissapointed about missing yesterday, I needed the rest. Back at it today
    *Day Twentyone:* Missed a day for the second time today.
    *Day Twenty:* Eleven more days baby
    *Day Nineteen:* Check
    *Day Eighteen:* I regret missing day four. I could've made time for it and had a full 30 day streak
    *Day Seventeen:* I think my posture looks a bit better already honestly. Its hard to tell right now
    *Day Sixteen:* Halfway through
    *Day Fifteen:* My shoulder sort of pinched while doing the push up plus today. Didn't quite hurt but it was a little concerning
    *Day Fourteen:* Had a 13 hour shift today but I feel pretty decent. It felt good to come home and do these stretches after some Nandos
    *Day Fourteen:* I forgot to write one day down but I haven't skipped a day of this since day four.
    *Day Thirteen:* My appetite's been fucked this weekend. Its really hard to exercise without food. Who woulda thought
    *Day Twelve:* Git er done
    *Day Eleven:* I watched 2 AthleanX videos on this same topic. After 30days of this I might incorporate some of their stretches and the pelvic rotation stretch. This video gives exercises that are much more accessible to more people and doesn't require equipment or large amounts of space but I think some of the AthleanX stuff could really enhance the better posture process
    *Day Ten:* Lets get it.
    *Day Nine:* I am starting to consciously maintain a better posture throughout the day now and it is much easier to maintain than It used to be.
    *Day Eight:* No excuses, gotta get it done. Still sick, had an 11.5 hour shift at work. But made sure to get this in before bed
    *Day Seven:* Still sick. Thought I wouldn’t do this workout today but I figure, why not. Still too early to see any posture changes
    *Day Six:* I'm feeling a cold coming on. I wanted to skip today to rest but I remembered this comment and made sure to get it done so I could update this comment with good news.
    *Day Five:* Getting back on track. I worked on getting a better mind to muscle connection and It seems like I can feel the back muscles doing more work as opposed to other muscles like triceps.
    *Day Four:* Got pretty lazy and wanted to go out instead. Gotta pick it up again tomorrow
    *Day Three:* Really feeling the burn today while doing the exercises. I think I have a tad more motion going behind the back with the stretch without bending my arms
    *Day Two:* The pushup plus seems really awkward to do but I can feel a slight contraction today. Yesterday I couldn't feel much
    *Day One:* It feels a little easier too keep my shoulders back instead of being rounded. Probably due to the stretching I'm guessing

What I particularly enjoyed in this one is that you explain the differences between stretching certain muscles and strengthening others ( a question I've had for a while), what muscles exactly we are focusing on etc so then we understand exactly what we are trying to achieve with the routines and that makes it more efficient.

    Your videos are sososooo helpful, they really stand out because of all the science based info you provide and the amazing editing. There is never any question on how to execute the exercise because you explain it so well!
    If you’re looking to expand your content, I would suggest making a video (or a series) on how to work out and maintain good posture for someone with scoliosis. I’ve noticed that the videos online doesn’t distinguish between a operated/non-operated scoliosis back, which is very frustrating because of the huge differences.
    Anyways, thanks for helping me help my posture! ❤

    I love your videos because they are very complete and science-based.
    "Rounded shoulders" is really a misnomer; it should be called "Rounded Upper Back". Seems the body gets stuck in a compensation pattern whereby it leverages the mid-traps and rhomboids and their connection to the thoracic spine in order to keep the head up and move the upper arms.
    To move out of this compensation pattern, it is true that the anterior muscles, where they become short, must be stretched, and the posterior muscles, where they have weakened, must be strenghtened. And that's why everything in this video willhelp a lot over time.
    But the key is the move out of this compensation pattern altogether. To do this, it is necessary to sit and stand and go about your daily activities with the Scapulae Adducted (shoulder blades squeezed together behind your back). When this is done, you take away the leverage that your body has become accustomed to and retrain your body to use the proper muscles for sitting, standing and other activities.
    Beneficial exercises I have found are doing Pull-ups with the upper back in extension, and reverse flies with upper back in extension and scapulae in adduction as much as possible.

    Thank you Jeremy! I am 60yo but I have been doing HIIT workouts to lose weight and get strong. I shot a video of myself and noticed, on some exercises, that I had a rounded back. I jumped on RUclips and found your video in the search results. This is a fantastic video (I like the green arrows and highlights that show focus on direction and muscles)! My older relatives have had rounded spines and I thought this was genetic. Now, I know I've trained my muscles at the computer too long! But, since I can do a 2 minute plank and 50 min HIIT workout, I should work on good posture too! ❤❤😍😍

    **update** so after 1 month i have to say that i see very well improvement , my shoulders become bigger my spine wider and even change on the trapezius muscles , the main goal was to fix the sholders posture and i happy with the results , no metter how i tried but 10 min it didnt take .... maybe without the rest between intervals 10 min, so for all it takes 30 min ! its worth it ! i was training day yes and then day rest ....i will keep for another month ! will update soon
    **updaate ** after 2 months it seems another little change on the muscle but not much difference from 1 month of training ,
    also you need pay attention to the strength of the rubber ...you dont want to easy or to hard ! you need to feel the muscles while you do this rutine. so for all who starts you can set your goal for 1 month , and absolutely be satisfied !

    I've been struggling with upper-crossed syndrome forever now and found myself with a strange urge almost like I want to grab my shoulder blades and flip them open and just wring out the muscle underneath, but could never get a good stretch on them. I found myself doing the chest stretcher behind-the-back thing with hands and constantly reaching upward with my arms and laying against walls to try to hit the spot. It only did a little.
    Just found your video and I'm excited, I can feel the stretch under my shoulder blades very much, like a huge weight/itch relieved temporarily. Maybe placebo, but I even feel like I can breathe a little deeper/clearer.
    I'll keep working on these muscles.

I think because my shoulders are quite rounded it’s going to take a few months to see real proper results.

    Pro tip: if you’ve trained for any length of time and have rounded shoulders take a couple weeks off of training chest and increase your back training with focus on rhomboids and mid/lower traps and you will see a significant difference in the least amount of time. Also important to do the appropriate stretches during this time. Trust me you won’t lose much if any chest size and strength but your overall physique will look many times better.
