hi ppl

i have really wide shoulders naturally, im starting to gain some good muscle on them, when i stretch etc or work out, they look even wider, i look really good for it, but when i relax, they seem to lean in towards my chest...

its as if my back is not strong anough to take the weight so it lets them lean in...

i feel a bit awkward when i start streching in the middle of morrisions or asda... i look a bit of a clown...

any tips to straighten them out???

cheers

Deadlifts and medium grip chins

 

[Syko]

Bent over rows

Deadlifts

Pull ups

Make sure you have good form / full range of motion :thumbup1:

I know someone who had this but he only trained his chest and never his back :laugh:

I guess its some kind of muscle inbalance and your chest shoulders are pulling in?

upper cross syndrome... tight chest and bis or weak back.... lots and lots of bent over rows mate!!

cheers everyone... much appreciated.

Rows as said... heavy and at least as much back workout as you do chest... if not more...

 

[Barker]

if you don't know what a bent over row is, you're definately doing something wrong

Maybe he is just starting out so does not know certain exercises and how to do them, what better place to come for advice (well from some of us) :cursing:

 

[MarkFranco]

Muscle imbalances, this is why for every pushing motion I like to do a pull

Shoulder press - pull up

Bench - Bent row

etc etc

I had a mate who for years hardly worked his back now his shoulder pops out like Mel Gibsons in Lethal weapon lol

 

[Greyphantom]

Face pulls..

I pull faces all the time but it only gets me in trouble...
