Do I have an Anterior Pelvic Tilt?

Well, nofap was fun while it lasted

idk man, try a better photo i guess
my posture is garbage (crane neck forward) but any time i try to fix it my lower back starts to hurt because i think i just put pressure on that instead

Better photo? Like closer up, or better quality? I don't think I have bad upper body posture, it's just that when I stand relaxed it kinda feels weird in the lower body, like I'm tilting my pelvis to the back or something.

Here's an idea, come back after you start lifting to ask about your poor posture. Compound lifts will rarely exacerbate posture problems. Tight and well-developed muscles eliminate most by forcing postural muscles to compensate during the lifts.

Man, I've been lifting for 3 months. I know it doesn't show but I started from a really low point. I just wanted someone's opinion because of what I described in the post above.

that is anterior pelvic tilt
i have it too from sitting at my computer all day almost every day
i have been lifting for a year and a few months and still have it
you have to to targeted exercises and implement lifestyle changes like a standing desk to get rid of apt. im a uni student and can't be bothered to tackle my poor posture at the moment.

So did I, user. Mine was terribly well-developed. But mine seems to get better every day after only two months of lifting with proper form, especially on the squats and deadlift. I wake up and its not even active, usually doesn't come in til the back half of the day now.

If you want to do some targeted exercises, you can find them on PT websites with a quick google search, but you really should be fine if you just lift with good form.

Ehh guess I need to try harder then. I just wasn't sure because pictures on the net exaggerate the tilt really bad. But I take that even if I have it, it won't affect my health in a bad way when deadlifting/squatting (with proper form ofc)?

i've found that it doesn't affect my deadlift but it took me a while to adjust to squats. i was really worried about buttwink when i was squatting because when i was hitting the bottom of a squat my lower back went from excessively curved from poor posture to straight. it looked like i had buttwink but in reality it was just my apt that made it look that way. i have had a lot of trouble feeling comfortable or strong squatting; deadlift max is 170kg my squat is 120kg with pretty poor form

>thoracic
>shoulders

>those shorts
at least your knees aren't bent. god damn.

I will make sure to ask someone to record me squatting today and check my form then. Thanks for the advice bros.

my neck isnt so bad i was just looking down at the phone screen
ur right tho i have issues lmao

you need to see a physical therapist this is about as bad as i've ever seen posture after a fitness transformation

maintain your lifts until you do before you seriously hurt yourself bud

there literally won't be a better time than in uni

if you think life becomes less demanding afterward you're in for a rude awakening or an insanely mediocre experience of barely maintaining your financial health and social life just to have time to sit around

>squat my lower back went from excessively curved from poor posture to straight
Yeah not doing anything about this is why you have to do targeted exercises.

i agree bud, this guy is on a one way bus to snap city

well shit guys. ive never had serious feedback from others on my posture so never known how bad it was i guess. i'll definitely get on this.

i feel kind of bad for you, you've got months of terrible needle-threading ahead of you

those exercises fucking suck and its almost impossible to appreciate because you improve so fucking slowly

reminds me how much of my own journey is left. ugh, i should've fucking listened about taking breaks from the computer.

are you with a physical therapist or following something you found online?

i'm following something i found online but if you can afford a PT at all its worth, they have ultrasound equipment to break up scar tissue and loosen up knots, and they act as spotters

which is important because this isn't like typical lifting. your body will do everything in its power to compensate for the exercises and doing them correctly alone is insanely hard.

No, both of you have swayback posture. Doing exercises for APT will not help. Simply lean more forward and you'll find it will go away instantly. Trouble is remembering to do this as your normal resting posture. Enjoy.

Will try doing that next time I find myself in front of a mirror, thanks.
