Description

In this episode, Alex Effer breaks down what rounded shoulders really are, and more importantly, what they aren’t.


Most people are told it’s just tight pecs and weak back muscles, but that’s not the full story.


Alex explains why simply stretching your chest or rowing more isn’t going to fix it long-term, and how compression, rib cage position, and center of mass play a bigger role than you think.


Alex shares the exercises I use, like prone work, side-lying drills, and scapular plane movements, to restore posture, open up both the front and back of the body, and actually change the shape of your shoulders over time.
