Hi, what are some exercise you would recommend to open up the chest to help with rounded shoulders and for winged scapulas. i suffer from both, not in serious way like in the pic but when im bare chested i always have to remember to “force” my shoulders back, and i had these conditions since i can remember. Im planning on getting back at the gym after a 3 months stop and im looking for some exercise to include in my new routine. Thanks in advance :)
Is this for real? Sorry i cant get if its true or not or how it can be related haha
The form required for deadlifts basically requires you to stand up straight. It’s actually helped me personally to get a better standing form.
Definitely have someone explain and help you with your form though. It can be hard to tell for an inexperienced person if their form is good, and bad form is risky when deadlifting.
The weight doesn’t even have to be that high, it’s all about learning the proper form, which helps you realize a better posture.
Dumblederp put a site above that lists exercises for various areas. Deltoids was one he mentioned for the back and deadlifts actually fell into that category. I know fuck all about what is healthy or not for the gym, but that site does appear to have information on there that could help point you in the right direction and then do some fact checking to make sure.

yeah, i’ll absolutely check that site, seems to have a ton of good information. i’ll probably skip the deadlift regardless cause i’ve never done it and without help im afraid i’ll do it the wrong way and injure myself. but people gave me a lot of good suggestions and exercises and a whole site to look at :) i’ll try to gain as much as info as possibile to not end up in a wheelchair and look good this summer at the beach ;)
Good luck out there, be kind and no matter what anyone else thinks I’m sure you’ll look good anywhere you go. Insert kindness is beauty quote here haha
kindness will save the world <3 (also im stunning ;P )
It isn’t a terrible recommendation if you have good form and are comfortable with the lift. Deadlift hits pretty much the whole back when it’s done right, but it can also be done wrong in quite a lot of ways.
Even with deadlift, I would probably still add isolation lifts targeting the areas you want to see improvement on.
