Hi,

i noticed my shoulders are a little bit rounded forward. I bought the stretch serie a few month ago but i was focusing a bit more on the splits due to a lack of time. Do you think that if i start doing gymnastic bridge serie more seriously it will be enough to help my posture or should i add rows?

Hi Katherine, the balanced shoulder is a result of stretch and releases the tension of the muscles which increases the bad posture and strengthening of the opposite muscles which promotes the good posture. Said that by doing the TB series you can solve the point one. the ability to restore the posture then is moved to the point 2. in order to perform a good work you need to understand where the weakness is located FIRST.

thank you for the answer! about the point 2: do you think the serie work the rear delt/rhomboid? the bridge pushups seems to be the opposite of a regular pushup cause you push back? are these a substitute for row movements?

Not specifically, but before searching and also rows does not work the rhomboid correctly. Before giving more suggestions you need to understand what is your case.
