i wasn't disputing that you weren't, i was just saying you're not in all american "shape"

- add fruit to breakfast
- cut bread out of 11am meal and add fruit/sald/veg
- take bread out of 5pm meal and add veg/salad

shit doctors are fucked...that might put you back in place but it won;t strengthen the muscles needed to hold it permenentely...from what i could see you have:

- uneven shoulders which is a hip, shoulder or leg issue
- uneven development on right side probaly because of the issue above
- you are in a great degree of excessive pelvic tilt (as sticks up higher then nuts basiocally) which means you're bugger all away from tearing a hamstring and maybe even an ACL rupture

that's all i can remember, you took the photo's down

it would be worse during exercise probably...stay away from it

and yes i can, i'm pretty good i say

i'd go to a chiro maybe and tell them to look at your hips and even then up then see how your arms/legs match up length wise...if they do then you just need your hips adjusted every now and then and a bucket load of glute activation work and ankle mobility work

This all sounds pretty serious, should I stop weight training until I get hips figured out? I have been working out every week for about 4 weeks now, i just joined this site in desperate need of diet advice, and since i am on the subject, the only time i have available to train is between 10:00 p.m. and 1:00 a.m., which is the times I have been frequenting the gym, due to work and current school schedule, this is all i am allowed, good or bad?

ou could still do stuff but you'd need supervision, i couldn't tell you what you can and can't do from here

strength training cements your posture menaing you're reinforcing your bad posture by training with it

in the meantime search "the 8 essential mobility exercies" by mike boyle and do the ankle mobility exercise from that

also search "jimmy smith feet article" and hopefully a t-nation one comes up

Can i workout core really hard? I figure that would probably be the place to start since I have no core strength at all, which is also probably affecting posture
