2 of 12 1. Do more pulling than pushing
Most guys do way more pushing than pulling – we focus so much on chest exercises, but forget about heavy rows and pulls. This creates an imbalance because chest gets stronger and stiffer than your back muscles. Over time, your shoulders slump forward and your arms to turn inward.
This posture wrecks your shoulders: now, they’re not in the right position, they won’t move properly, and – when you do something as simple as reach overhead – the joints will get impinged.
Do twice as many pulling exercises than pushing and strengthen the muscles in your upper back. Focus on pulling your shoulder blades down and back throughout the exercise to encourage good posture.
