A Weightlifters posture is usually predictable based upon his or her favourite
exercises. Unfortunately, as society drives for the body beautiful, most people
exercise what they see in the mirror, known as 'mirror muscles'. By exercising
this way, a number of muscular imbalances occur and place particular joints
under unnecessary stress and thus increase injury potential.
Below is a small selection of exercises that are necesary for someone with this type
of posture. However, as most people are not bodybuilders, the types of posture that
are specific to you, will be contained in the relevant section once you have followed
the step-by-step guides.
Each section will give you the information regarding your specific posture type, and
a selection of exercises to get you started on improving your health and fitness.
