This sounds interesting, I realised only a couple of days ago that I have apt and did my first session of apt correction exercises this morning. Stretching the hip flexor muscles, some beginner glute and hamstring exercises and a bit of ab exercises.
One thing though, I'm the opposite to Arnold here, I am more developed in my abs and lower back (lower back is by far my most developed muscle (group?) as a result of handstands variations and other things that hit lower back) than in my hamstrings and glutes but it sounds like we have a similar issue which confuses me.
I have a pretty good core as far as it goes, I don't have abs but I wouldn't think my stomach muscles are weak. I can hold an l sit, hang on a bar and bring toes up to head level keeping straight legs, these are both fairly advanced bodyweight movements. Just because my core is good does that automatically mean my stomach muscles are good? From my understanding core is more than just abs and I have a good core but not great abs. I guess I'm asking should I focus on strengthening my abs and stomach muscles as well as the other stuff to help with apt or does it sound like I can skip these and just focus on strengthening glutes, hams and stretching hip flexors etc.?
Glad to hear you're having progess Arnold bro, we're in the same boat but I have no gf to test results with

Apt can probably be caused by multiple different muscle imbalances

After a lot of pf relaxing and rks, should the pf be sore? And should I take a break because my bc is very sore and when I pee I can barley pee it stops the stream half way through almost cause my bc is tired.

Also for apt set yourself a 30 day stand challenge. At times when you'd normally sit (work/computer games etc etc) stand instead. Its great for apt, you will feel yor core getting stronger and stronger plus more flexibility in the hip flexors, and much better circulation!

It’s pretty good I’ve found that my apt is mostly cured after only like 2 weeks. It’s not perfect level but it’s in the right place. My pelvis was pushed back and tilted, I walked with my ass out from months and months of constant squatting. When I lay down I still have a tilt because my ass raises my whole pelvis
