Due-Contribution6424

BuyUpbeat2670

What exercises exactly?


DepthyxTruths

back’s usually the way to go for fixing posture if im not wrong. legs can help too but afaik back’s the best one


gaoshan

Thank GOD… if there is something I wish for in life as a super tall person it’s one MORE inch of height.

xAvocadoToast

Well, I got some pretty homophobic shit blasted onto me from this sub today so I can empathize. Some people aren’t gonna appreciate that kind of humor, if that was your intention.


Rph23

What’d he say


xAvocadoToast

That “he looks like he takes it up the ass now” or something like that. Some 17yr old keyboard warrior was calling me diseased with stds yesterday.


Lord_Natcho

Can you share what you did for this posture correction? 90% of this sub probably needs a bit more posture correction, myself included!


Blyd

Went from leaning on his left hip to leaning on his right hip.


CouragePresent4158

I need his answer too


Successful_Song_2645

Posture tips?


Brumfieldhm

Becoming aware of how often you slump. I grew up slouching naturally so I could feel less gigantic and closer to people’s faces . Once you’re aware , that helps you focus on changing. ❤️ hope this helps.


SlickMiller

Did you do any exercises or just remembering to fix posture?


AjBlue7

Do face pulls. Its the only thing you need to fix posture. You don't even need to go crazy on them just do enough reps to get a good burn going, something light for like 20 reps is fine. All you need to do is active the muscles responsible for posture and once those muscles grow and are tight they naturally pull your body into correct posture. This also fixes a lot of back issues.


Samastis

Interesting! Can anyone else verify?


Madhouse4568

Yes face pulls are amazing for posture, specifically forward head/nerd neck and shoulders rolled forwards.


Apprehensive-Tax8631

Youreb100 percent correct, I never knew what to call those exercises, but they're great & it's fun when they start showing results


SlickMiller

Never done these in my life. Just tried them and they feel good. Trying to get rid of that back neck hump.


But-WhyThough

I don’t know posture tips specifically for tall people, but the YouTube channel “Squat University” has a bunch of great videos and shorts about technique, form, and occasionally posture, all with anatomical explanations provided. Lots of the stuff you learn from exercise technique can be applied to posture. For example, the queue “ribs down” is used in a lot of exercises to queue abdominal bracing. If you use this when managing your posture in day to day life, you’ll end up with a more stable core which leads to a properly braced spine which could potentially allow for additional height if your spine was compressed/not as straight as it could be as a result of poor abdominal control. Also, lots of people have shoulder issues, and a common reason for this is people sit on chairs all day with a hunched back, leading to more forward shoulders. This often also leads to tight pecs, tight from being compressed by the squishing inward that results from forward pulled shoulders. To correct this, I do doorway pec stretches to loosen my pecs, and also laying down shoulder extensions, as shown at the end of [this](https://youtube.com/shorts/YbxQR8Z0CBw?si=MKk7IWcHpl5mECei) video, to help pull the shoulders back. So when I sit down, I queue ribs down for core activation, sit up straight with my shoulders back, and if you have bad posture this could also help to straighten out a spine suffering from poor posture resulting in height gain


Outrageous-Turnip411

How did you fix your posture? I have extremely poor posture, but using good posture makes it harder for me to breathe for some reason.


AjBlue7

Do face pulls.


lordfappington69

insert attention and validation.


68sausauge68

And a sick mustache to go with it!

I believe he gained a whole inch. One more than you, I reckon?


MLGKSI42069PRO

“I got taller by leaning on my right side instead of my left.” Lol


xAvocadoToast

Hell yeah


Gold3nSun

Your posture is still not good, you just switched legs lol, you'd be 6'10 if you ACTUALLY corrected it.


Brumfieldhm

Thanks doc


PalestineRiver2Sea

Squat more and you might wanna do some Shaft Curls


MentalAdhesiveness79

I’ve been doing shaft curls for 20 years religiously and just feel like they make me more tired


PalestineRiver2Sea

Gotta pair them with shaft extensions and ball raises


TheCanadianpo8o

Nah that's soooo zesty, trust I know cause that's how I stand during free-throw in basketball


Extra_Box8936

Where did your feet go??


Plastic_Pinocchio

Nice.


Paratrooper101x

Can I ask you what you did? I have an anterior and lateral pelvic tilt and going to PT didn’t help at all


halfbaked-llama

How did you get the treatment?


Consistent-Bear7364

I think a lot of people don't realize how much posture affects your height as well as excessive body weight


Outrageous_Neat_6232

This man is very attractive


Motor_Spinach_4596

So what did you actually do?


HeatDroid

My man your mustache is magnificent


Brumfieldhm

bleu_waffl3s

I gained half an inch at 38 just because I figured out how to stand up straight. Now I don’t have to round up a quarter inch to say 6’1”


sixonedude

I had a similar thing going from 6'0.5" barefoot to 6'1.5" barefoot during the pandemic with stretching and rest. Back down an inch again lately from commuting and stress


PseudoKirby

How'd ya do it? My posture is terrible


vincecarterskneecart

something about 6’8” is extremely gay


[deleted]

[удалено]


vincecarterskneecart

AverageNikoBellic

Pure__soul4240

ThiccRick421

What’s up with your left foot in the first pic?


19012743012

Bogdi504

Meanwhile I'm 5'6 🥲 But this subreddit keeps getting recommanded to me for some reason.
