Which workout for rounded shoulders?

[NathL]

Hi Cathe,

Working at a desk all day, I have a tendancy to have rounded shoulders. Which workout to you suggest to help pull back my shoulders ?

Thanks
Nathalie

p.s. Knowing how busy Cathe is, I would be pleased if others decide to chime in!

not cathe but i have the tendency to slouch as well. what helps me is S&H and GS back workouts. You want to do heavy weights with rows to get those rhomboids which is the muscle between the shoulder blades and middle traps. its also important to work the posterior delts with rear flys. i find that i need to limit my chest workouts slightly b/c my chest muscles tend to dominate which makes rounded shoulders even worse. hope this helps some.

It does help! Thanks!

I already have S&H and am thinking of getting Gym Styles.
I do the same as you do and avoid chest work in order to avoid slouching even more!
