Quote:

At bare minimum I would do shoulder dislocations combined with some time spent doing handstand pushups so you don't develop kyphosis from all those pullups.

Man I wish someone would have given me that advice three years ago. I think I already got that shit.

Like 5 years ago my whole posture was completely fucked up because I was sitting in front of the computer and TV all day. Last three years I could almost completely get rid of it, mostly doing push- and pullups. Now my pecs are pulling me down, shoulders are pulled forward and ass is lightly pushed out to compensate.

I'm going to get a gym membership and do the "Starting Strength" routine for at least 6 months. Hopefully it will fix it. Weighted squads should strengthen my whole back, right?

Also what do you think about rest days? And how important is actual sleep?
Long post to answer but, would be greatly appreciated.

Nobody can tell you that, you need to work it out for yourself.

Start with a weight you know you can do, and make a written note of the weight/reps you did, and how difficult you found it.

Next time you're doing that exercise, aim to beat it by lifting more weight and/or performing more reps. Eventually, you'll find your limits.

Alternatively, find your 1 rep max for each of the lifts and work on percentages of that - the 5/3/1 routine is a good guide.

Alright thanks.

Has anyone any experience of doing the
Insanity program or Rushfit?
