How To Fix Rounded Shoulders FAST (10 Minute Science-Based Corrective Routine)

  • In this video I'll show you how to fix rounded shoulder posture, and fix your posture so that your shoulders are more aligned. For instance, do you catch yourself hunched over in the mirror and detest the look of your slumping shoulders? Well, forward rounded shoulders are often developed from sustained periods of slouching and/or the result of an unbalanced training routine. And not only is it aesthetically unappealing, but it can also negatively affect your ability to perform specific exercises in the gym and potentially put you at a higher risk of developing shoulder pain and injuries. In this video, I cover how to fix rounded shoulders posture through a combination of stretches for bad posture correction and posture exercises you can do within 10 minutes for a quick posture fix.
    Based on the analysis of multiple papers, two primary things contribute to your slumping shoulders. First, overactive muscles that have become tight and are pulling the shoulders into the forward position. The main culprits for this are often the pecs and the upper traps, in combination with a general lack of thoracic mobility. Second, underactive muscles that have become weak and are failing to pull the shoulders back. The main culprits for this are typically the traps (mid and lower) and the serratus anterior. And research shows that these underactive muscles became weak over time partly due to the overactive muscles preventing us from being able to turn on these underactive muscles in the first place.
    Therefore, when it comes to how to fix rounded shoulders, we’ll be making use of a two-part routine: stretching of the overactive muscles, then the strengthening of underactive muscles. For the first part of the routine, we’ll concentrate on stretching out your overactive muscles. And we’ll make use of two primary stretches for bad posture correction: thoracic extensions and band over-and-backs. If you don’t have a foam roller, I’ve included links to two I recommend below.
    The second part of the posture fix routine involves three posture exercises: the band pull-apart, banded Y-raise, and push-up plus. This step is critical: case studies analyzing rounded shoulder posture have found that this provides significantly better corrective results than the stretching we previously did. But with all these exercises, you must make each rep count. You'll need to perform each rep slowly, with control, and proper form; only then will you be able to engage the right muscles that you intend to.
    And keep in mind guys, if you want to correct bad posture for the long-term, you need to not only always be aware of how your posture is throughout the day and correct it accordingly, but you also need to ensure that your training program is structured in a way that prevents these muscle imbalances from occurring.
    That’s exactly why within my Built With Science programs, we’ve taken the time to carefully select each and every exercise included in your weekly training routines such that you can build lean muscle while actually improving your posture and correcting your muscle imbalances in the process.

    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. New subscriber and fan here, even though I hate exercise (disclaimer). 😄

Thanks for all you do, Jeremy, and for raising the bar (pun intended) in the industry on quality bodybuilding videos.

    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!

    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've seen a few videos on this subject (rounded shoulders/forward head), some good some poorer. 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. Good vid, good exercises - thanks for posting!

    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! ❤

    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

    Jeremy, this was easily one of the hardest workouts I've ever done. Clearly, my rounded shoulders had a lot to do with how weak the center of my back is, as well as how stiff and tight. Can't wait to see the results after a month or so.

      Well I've been using a back posture brace for a while.. It does make a difference. My posture has gotten much better now and I find myself pulling my shoulders back naturally even when I am not wearing it. I guess my body has gotten used to it after a while. I could feel my core strengthened up too. Now I kinda feel more alpha and confident when I go out on a date lol. (I have three herniated discs and it seems to help on that aspect as well)

    This video is so important. I have rounded shoulders since I was small because of heavy backpacks. My lower rib cage sticked out and my shoulders can never stay on the bench doing an overhead press. I became conscious of these problems (the underactive muscles) and try to use them whenever noticed. Now I have much better posture and more stable movements for chest, back and shoulder exercises.
