I just saw a video that solves this exact problem. Check out AthleanX on youtube. They have multiple videos on fixing different forms of bad posture!

Have you been using high reps/set or low reps/set?

Check Jocko Willink out! think that’s his last name? Lol. Anyways, he’s been on Joes podcast before, and he gives me a ton of fitness inspiration and general motivation. Abit off topic, but check Dan Carlin out also. Nothing fitness or motivation related, but he’s been one of my favorite podcasters since 2013!

Looking good! If growth is your goal I would not worry about going beyond 12 reps per set. Most of your program is under 12 per set so good job. There is a book called Championship Bodybuilding by Chris Aceto that explains in great detail why 12 reps per set is the most you want to be doing. Can’t wait to see the results!

12 Week Hypertrophy Quest Quest Goals: 1) Increase Muscle Mass 2) Decrease BF% 3) Increase Strength In All Lifts Overview/Details Each working set should be performed to near failure with 12 being the most reps you should perform and 6 being the lowest. This workout utilizes supersets.Take a 1 minute break between each superset. Supersets are grouped by letter before them. See Quest Objectives for context. Increase weight on each set by at least 5lbs. Increase weight from week to week as well. By the end of the 12 weeks, you should be 10lbs+ stronger in many lifts. This program can be repeated with endless variation. If you begin to plateau, seek ways of making the workouts harder. An example could be adding some dropsets.
