i find that seated db rows work great if you sit up strait

How do you do seated dumbell rows?

I think good mornings should be good for posture. If your looking for posture in lifts, what you could do is stand with you back flat against the wall and do your exercise. You could also use a belt. I personally dont use one, but whatever.

Damn, I was hoping it was something new that I've never heard of before and would have to try it out.

Things that have/are helping me:

Losta stretching in the hamstring and calf area.
(it helps with the pull of my pelvis)


`farmers walks (walking with heavy as you can with dumbells)
`shrugs
`weighted sit ups from a decline (approx 15%)
`abdominal holds (usually it when im on the computer/sitting down)
`external rotations and other rotator cuff exercises

im in the process of building up my whole sholder girdle by doing standing overhead presses.

i guess it depends what your posture problem is.....if its muscle balance related or just plain lazy.

come to think of it i remember a site about this

do some chest/abs/lower back flexibility exercises. Strengthen the traps and rhomboids. Start using those big stability balls.

I recommend these for posture: squats, bench, pulldowns, seated rows, and presses. All very efficient exercises.

I think deadlifts. Straighten out the back, works for me atleast.
