A typical weightlifter's posture is similar to that of a Kyphosis, as the upper back has rounded and
the shoulders and hands hang infront of the body.
Unlike kyphosis, this posture is also likely caused by your occupation, but highlights excessive
strengthening of the chest, shoulders, biceps and upper abdominals muscles. These are often
refered to as 'mirror muscles' as they are the main muscles seen when looking in the mirror.
The effect of this excessive strengthening means that excessive stress is being placed on the upper
back, simialar to the effect of kyphosis.
In order to correct, these muscles must be 'de-trained' and stretched, while their opposing muscles
in the upper back must be strengthened significantly to effectively pull the shoulders, arm, spine
and head back into their ideal positions
1. Head - Well forward of the line.
2. Shoulder - Well forward of the line.
3. Hip & Knee - Refer to either Flat Back, Sway Back or Lordosis.
