Hey man, your content is amazing but looking at your past videos I just can't seem to grasp your idea in a concise way but your genius definitely shows. I don't even know whether it is possible to show the "proper posture" and the progress towards it and the necessary coordinated movements required for it in 1 video, but it could help us get a solid grasp what all of this is about without reading the source material or deeply understanding the theory. Much love for being an independent thinker 😇.
I don't know your posture or what problems you have but If you want a path to what I think is the most "ideal" posture, you'd have to train some of these pretty regularly and they will help you discover your own way to a better posture, changing your posture is somewhat of a lifestyle change also so you have to train your way out of your old "bad" posture and bad habits/compensations or whatever it is. some things you can possibly do. 1. build a strong strength base specially in posture related muscles but ideally all big muscles groups (legs, chest, core, back, arms, shoulders) and some isolation exercises where necessary. You must make sure you perform these exercises with proper form otherwise it will potentially make your posture "worse". 2. get the best mobility possible for you in all motions (hip control, spine, scapular) 3. stretch any tight muscles until full range of motion is achieved. 4. practice some skill related exercise which involve proper technique/posture/strength to perform like the handstand or some other sort of calisthenics move. Do it till you master the skill 5. some breathing exercises. 6. optional practice some sort of sport which involves mostly full body actions like bjj, mma, swimming, running 7. try to find weak points in your muscles and ranges of motion and correct them as necessary Doing all of these things will help you gain more body awareness, also understanding these things will help with body awareness but complete understanding isn't necessary to see results in my opinion. Again, since I don't know what stage, you are at in terms of working out, I can't really help you specifically but some basic and safe exercises/movements I'd recommend beginning with would be dead hangs performed properly relaxing at the shoulders and letting yourself go into the natural hanging position try to stretch yourself out by doing breathing exercises in the hang. Make sure you have a good grip of the bar so you can release the muscles properly and practice with different grips and head positions (back, front). Pushups and other bodyweight exercises should be your main focus if you're a complete beginner, make sure you master the technique before trying to progress to a harder variation or vice versa if you can't do complete pushup regress it. if you just practice proper breathing technique and strength training(full rom) mobility(to get more rom), you'd probably see the most changes, if you do want to see proper changes though you have to be consistent enough over a long enough time around 3-6 months and ideally the rest of your life otherwise you'll go into whatever your body requires based on your lifestyle. IF done correctly which is probably impossible you should see changes within weeks, but it should take time to develop the proper technique and skill to be able to move properly and freely. Body awareness is the main goal you want to be able to move freely in all possible ranges of motion easily and without pain. This is all my opinion and I'm also still learning so take it with a grain of salt and do your own research. Take it slow and try not to hurt yourself otherwise it'll take much longer.
Can I ask whomever achieved mastery or “graduated” from learning this posture. How has it affect the way you exercise? Does your body feel any different? Do you feel like the tautness has helped you gain bio-mechanically be efficient? (e.g, the forces is felt throughout your body, instead of isolated in a single muscle group when doing compound movements?)
My glutes definitely got stronger and rounder. That's because there's no more anterior pelvic tilt, and my muscles work differently while I walk. And with my face, it's hard to tell because I originally didn't have any problems, although I would like to see maybe some more bone structure due to proper fascia condition
It's also surprising how it affects you in other ways as well being engaged all around your body. I feel more socialable and might be a placebo but I feel there has been a spike in my testosterone..
Brother I mean literally no disrespect, because I agree he's not the most to the point. But also a significant chunk this video was just saying stretch your tight spots and count to 3 😅. Hope your posture journeys going well

You have to explain more on lumbar three, please
so far so good
Very informative! I feel more empowered to include these tips in my everyday life! 🙏

Man there are so many videos is it enough to just copy your posture and check if its the same by taking a picture
Dude I'm trying to understand what you say, but you gotta make it sound and look less like rocket science
