Posture/Musc. Imbalance the cause?

[Myt Member Find all posts View Profile Close Myt]

Hi everyone,

I've been reading these forums for a while now and seeing a trend in improving posture/fixing APT curing PRE-E. I've sort of overcome PIED and now am dealing with severe PRE-E. My IK's are uncontrollable when receiving a blowjob and in most positions (usually can last decently with her on top, still not long). I've attempted RKing throughout the entire day and hindi squatting for ~10 minutes throughout the day. My pelvic floor tends to twitch/spams throughout the day as well, I believe this is muscle fasciculation. On days where spasms aren't as prevalent my testicles can become sore on the sides, strange.

I've been to a urologist and ruled out anything serious, I'm currently seeing a pelvic floor physio who has me stretching my hip flexors, quads, hamstring and pelvic floor directly daily. Also belly breathing 10times 3times a day. Haven't seen much improvement in about a month's time.

Wondering if anyone has any recommendations on how I can improve my posture to help with my PRE-E or any other recs!

You have APT. Not sure why you were recommended hamstring stretch.

Working significantly on hip flexor stretching and that QL (lower back muscles) tightness. And majority of the posture issues, the glute max is inactive and thus become weak. Without training glute max it is impossible to overcome APT.
Also, forwarded head and round shoulders (seems very common among the people here). It is obvious you work out, maybe for a while reduce the push day, chest, triceps and shoulder presses (used to do that myself in my mis 20s).

Glad you pm’ed me man! Thank you for making this thread and posting the posture picture. I promise it’ll get much better from here.

And yeah going off of what Anthony said I have no idea why someone would recommend you to do hamstring stretches. That’ll make APT much worse. Another reason why people need to be careful seeing these professionals.

Make a log!

I've mentioned my posture to my pelvic PT multiple times since she insists it's "not bad." Today we continued to stretch my entire lower body (hamstrings included). I've mentioned low back pain but she hasn't given me a reason for it. This has to be APT right? You guys think I should hold off on the PT for a bit while I work on this myself?

To combat the APT you mentioned hip flexor stretching, fixing low back tightness, and strengthening glute max? I've seen tons of videos on how to fix APT but haven't been able to solidify a routine. Do you have any recommendations or a specific doc to see?

Thanks!

Of course! Thanks for the helpful responses

I will most definitely start a log once I can solidify a routine! Asking the same questions do you have any recs/do you think I should hold off on the PT? I feel as if my PRE-E has gotten worse overall since beginning.

When I went to some specialist the only thing they did was make it worse. So this is up to you but I would recommend you stop seeing this person if they’re stretching your hamstrings out when you clearly have APT.

Form a solid routine, post it here, let us look at it and tweak it, then hit the gym. I’m telling you right now stretching shit that isn’t supposed to be stretched will stunt progression. Happened to me.

Work those glutes hard!

I don't want to disrespect, but that is a reality, if you are going to PF therapist or PT, it should be a male one.

Normally, therapist can diagnose what you have, however their approach to solve it, is generally sissy like and designed for ages above 60s. Yes, you need to tackle this wild style however, with precision. If you search on the web, there are good approaches for fixing APT (which you have). Also, you need to address the forwarded head posture, do not neglect it.

Daily stretches, twice a week training glutes (including hip extension, bridges with glute squeeze and deep squats) and at least three times a week TVA workout and three times a week working on corrective exercises for that rounded shoulders and neck could be a guide to your routine design.

This^^^^ My trainer constantly tells me how some of these people simply assign static stretches and that's it. They say it's sometimes designed to keep you with the trainer for a while

Do you guys think it's worth it to see a general physio (male) or someone to fully work out what imbalances I have? Or should I start my own routine? I was going to follow this routine here because I've seen some members link it to their success combating APT: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T69N5A0GzrI

Routine (stretches every day, strength every other)

Stretches:
Hip Flexor Stretch - Iliopsoas :3-4 sets
Quad Stretch - Rectus Femoris: 3-4 Sets
Low back seated stretch: 3-4 sets

Strength:
The No-Gap: 3-4 sets
Hip Thrusts or Glute Bridges: 3-4 sets
Planks with emphasis on using lower abs/glutes to tuck and avoid APT: 3-4 sets max hold

Let me know what you guys think!

Going to hold off on that Pelvic floor physio for now I think! Random question, do you have any recommendations for a computer chair Mine keeps me in terrible posture.

Often much comes together. Stress creates faulty body positions which creates tension in PF which creates Pre-E which creates stress which creates..

That's on you, but if it is possible and low cost, visiting a good physio would not be such a bad idea, at least to confirm things and give yourself a good vibe about what you are doing.

The hip flexor stretches are good, twice per day, one minute on total of each muscle group (there's no evidential benefit to stretch more than one minute).

On the strengthening side, no it is not enough, something like this twice per week could do:
concentrated squats 4 sets
Hip thrusts 3 sets
Box step ups 3 sets https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Aql4qSJ9YY
Sumo deadlift 1 or 2 sets
Bridge holds as long as you can

And 6 to 10 mins of ab workout (for individuals the perfect exercises varies) trying to focus on the TVA.

Thanks! You think that level of strength training for the glutes/abs is necessary? Most of the videos I've seen don't do more than I've outlined. Curious why you're thinking more intensity?

For hip flexor stretches, one minute per side twice a day?

I've also managed to make an appointment with a General male physio in my area. Excited to see what he has to say in terms of my muscle imbalances/issues! Will report back once I've gone.
