How I Fixed My Terrible Posture - 5 Habits
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 มิ.ย. 2024
- Good posture is a cornerstone of my Blueprint anti-aging protocol.
In this video I’ll show you the five most important habits and exercises I use to maintain a perfect posture at all times.
Thank you to corrective exercise specialist Kjetil Larsen for his advice in building this protocol 🙏 I will be publishing my full conversation with Kjetil in the coming weeks for those of you that want a more technical review of Kjetil identifying the problem and treatment plan. Stay tuned.
Remember: Kjetil's advises you only do his strength exercises a max of x2 per week (x1 set to fatigue). And be sure to consult a doctor.

Update: my body and mind feels best when doing some sort of body movement every ~5 minutes. That's easy for me as I usually work standing up. Your optimal time window to move your body may be longer, i.e 20-30 min.
I will be publishing my full conversation with Kjetil in the coming weeks for those of you that want a more technical review of Kjetil identifying the problem and treatment plan. Stay tuned.
For sure, would be great to see more instruction on the exercises. I’m doing as much of the protocol as i can afford. I don’t want to live forever. I’ll settle for 300 years 😉
Broo keep it up
Amazing! Thank you.
Hi Brayan, Thanks for sharing the information and just can make video about diet which will be affordable in range $3-$5 for every day ♥
Are you familiar with Dr Hauser on youtube? He is a specialist on this field. I am currently struggling with severe cervical neck instability causing debliating dizziness, pounding headaches, brain fog, memory loss and more. I am trying to convince my doctor and get imaging done but it's hard.
Man you are actually an inspiration to me, because of you I quit smoking, I exercise and go for runs every day, I eat healthy, I drink water not soda. I used to live very unhealthy. Planning on being around as long as possible, want to see what the future holds and what stuff humanity can create! ✌
I’m proud of ya’ stranger! Being a sober healthy individual becomes a high in itself. It’s crazy how the old traits we were so conditioned to follow were never realized as destructive/unhealthy at the time.
That's awesome bro!
Great Job !!
This is amazing!
❤❤
Honestly I really like and admire his willingness to help others, hes spending so much money and putting it to rejuvenation research, and releasing it to the public for FREE! Like, he obviously wants to spread the knowledge for the better of others
I would love to see the full conversation with Kjetil. I've struggled with good posture for a long time and seeing exercises for muscles that are often overlooked like the levator scapulae is great! Cant wait to see more.
That’s the content we need! Go for it Bryan! Muscles, posture, eating habits, sleep - we need it all to give us the best possible aging experience. I wanna enjoy my aging and still lift with 70 and live pain free.
Absolutely 💯
Keep on truckin. Right behind you. I have a nurse friend that ckecks me out at the springs where I swim. She says I have the body and skin of a teenager. Ha! I'll take it!
@@ArtOfHealth how old are you if I may ask?
yes amen! Finally a positive post from someone watching bryans content!
@@ArtOfHealth and a posture to go with it.
I literally am a posture junky. I think it's one of the most underrated practices in life. Period.
Go on?
Completely agree with you. Posture is something that is overlooked and not thought about very often, even in fitness industries. Form is discussed, but posture as the basis for how your entire body functions is not. I recently started learning about how to correct my posture and how to move correctly… Oh my God it has been life-changing!
And where had you got it justifying your “posture” on TH-cam
Most kids today overuse and don't know what the word "literally" means or stands for.
Amen. It fucks everything up.
“Somebody that I used to know”
butchaDiDDN'THADTOCUUUTMEAAAAOOUUT!
I love how I was looking for a video on your posture efforts two weeks ago and now you uploaded it 2 days ago! Thanks!
I was on your website and couldn't believe all the information you gave and step by step how to's and all for absolutely nothing but the time it took to read through it. Priceless. THANK YOU!
Hey, i just want to thank you for providing everything you've learned over the years for free. You're an amazing human being and a role model for many. Again, thank you!
My admiration goes out to you Bryan Johnson, you are in fact saving humanity. You are not talking, just demonstrating. Wow, there is no one like you.
You're also an inspiration for me, to not just "giving up slowly" in my 30's, but to start again to care more about myself... I admire it. Thanks ! 👍
I love this kind of practical advice that one can use everyday… thank you for posting this, Bryan!
Never thought about posture effecting blood flow, this is great info! Thanks Bryon for sharing the results of your studies and helping your fellow humans.
I have been dealing with chronic neck and upper back pain due to my poor posture. Just doing some of these exercises and being aware of what causes my poor posture helped me so much. Thank you for making this video!
The string analogy is incredible… its such a simple idea but it instantaneously puts me into perfect looking posture!
I learned that in ballet class; it helps a lot! Works with balance too.
Good posture is so important as we age. Thanks for the tips, Bryan!
Thank you for going over this. My posture is extremely bad and this video was perfect timing.
Short, to the point, with value. Great video
Fully believe the sentiment that sitting (hunched over/Tech Neck) is the new smoking!!!
I once worked for a company that had a system on our computers that several times a day a pop-up would appear reminding you to move/stretch....etc with on screen prompts. Makes a huge difference in the work day
Bryan, I cannot thank you enough for your efforts. You are such an awesome inspiration for me and this is currently changing my life. I am an engineer and I love your analytical approach. All the time I think people on youtube are just some wannabe gurus, but you are different. You are proving your results with evidence and inspiring me to start to look into research papers as well, measure myself, keep track of my data, ... This is currently helping me so much to stay on track and improve just a bit every day. Again... Thank you so much for everything that you do! I wish you all the best! 😊
He took the clot shot, not sure how much more time he has left
Thank him for what ? He's completely insane.
No, he is providing huge amount of data for the human body. What it's possible to achieve and extend. This is kinda what Phds and professors do, they scratch surfaces to discover new stuff. Bryan is kinda doing that to the human body. Using the potential to the possible maximum.@@mooncat.787
@@chrxmefacewhat clot shot?
@@mooncat.787how is he insane? tf?
Jaw/mouth posture I found is also very important. I clenched my jaw a lot as a kid, and I swear it contributes to added stress, anxiety, and in general is just a worse shape for your face. Doing facial stretches and learning to unclench my jaw (as well as catch myself when I'm doing it unintentionally) was a big win for my mental health and self image.
Mewing
can you post a good video for good jaw posture practising
@@ocoossss I don't really know enough to feel comfortable saying anything definitive. But if you feel a lot of tension/stress in your jaw, I'd recommend looking into facial stretches.
The whole situation modern society has with our mouths/jaw is strange. Worth looking up "why do modern humans need braces" if you're curious.
Holy shit bro I've been doing this since I was a kid and ive been questioning why i do it for the past year and cant find anything but i finally found someone, bro i dont know about the shape face being worse though because i have an insane jawline now without ever even mewing in my life but it definetely does add stress and anxiety i also am trying to stop
Bad posture can cause jaw clenching
Thank you so much for putting this stuff out for free 🙏
It's so nice of you to share these little helpful things! Thank you a million^^
thank you for sharing this! I agree it's so important but it's not commonly addressed! I catch myself using poor posture often, now I have some more motivation to work on it. I loved your point at the end about how powerful it is socially.
I struggle with very large breasts. Years ago paid 8,500 at U.F. plastic surgery residency program to reduce from a eee to a b... the pain and poor posture and embarrassment is a real issue for me. After surgery I was told Im a DDD not a B. So for years still no relief. You are so motivating and positive. Im going to look past the issue and work on my posture again. Thank you Bryan.❤
Thanks for passing all this knowledge along Bryan, you’re quite an inspiration
I am so glad I started watching your videos. It is so easy to judge but you seem like a really genuinely kind person. I think it speaks volumes that you stay so open and are not aggressive in your way of communicating. I am quite depressed and my posture shows it. You have inspired me to do better. I won't be able to follow your diet and exercises to the t but will incorporate some things into my healthier choices. Thank you.
THANK YOU! This is what I was asking some time ago when you mentioned this problem for the first time. Myself, and many arround me have the same/similar issue
Love this video.
- Adds value by telling us what we can do to get results like you.
- Actionable
- Short. Who has time, in this world of content overload.
- it's not a "trying to be a Kardashian" video, that is all about the story and your emotional experience, rather than the "meat" of your Blueprint protocol.
Great job 👏
Love it!
I wasn't to sure about this Bryan Johnson but I keep coming back to his content. I love what he's doing and the fact that he's sharing everything with everyone is amazing. Thank you!
I've just started looking at your videos in the last few weeks and have noticed every time, especially when you invite people into your home, how perfect you posture is. We notice it more when you are moving around and standing face to face with your visitors.
Your rate of aging is 0.69, so for every day that passes you age by ~16.5 hours, or you gain 7.5 hours a day with this protocol. It would be interesting to make a video breaking down how that compares to the time required for the protocol compared to someone who ages at a rate of 1 day per day.
Most people probably age by several days per day tbh in modern society
@@heroricspiritfreinen38 I can see that numbers are not your forte.
@@Jafmanz he mean biologically,
Actually most people’s biological age is a few years ahead of their normal age.
So they in fact age “faster”.
@@heroricspiritfreinen38 as you said, thats “most people”, you idiot.
@@Jafmanz keep up bro.

Literally setting the benchmark. Love the data and info. Thank you very much !!!
Thank you for bringing attention to bad posture. Also thank you for posting the findings of your research. Thank you for calling out how toxic phones are for our posture and also for enlightening us about how important regular movement is.
Thanks for this. Looking forward to the full conversation.
Past 6 months, I started on improving my posture because it got so bad that my shoulder would hurt after standing for over 20mins. Sore muscles but worth it!
how do you feel now?
@@chiangjames8262
feels so much better now, and my posture has improved. Worked on the muscles around the shoulder
I think the shoulder workout you mentioned is a game changer. Started it last year and man did I lost the posture issues and helped with breathing and anxiety. It's the perfect workout.
Hey, perhaps you can point to a resource which describes how exactly to do it? I'm having trouble figuring out from the video here 🙏
me too@@unclnis
Bryan. I really appreciate your dedication in understanding optimal health and wellness for people. Thank you very much! You are very inspiring!
In a society where everyone is running fast towards ageing even faster, you are setting a benchmark that ageing can be reversed or slowed down. It will be great to create a regime that works for people full time in their jobs and work .
last couple videos of (how to) dramatically changed my life in a short time. Excited for future uploads! Thank you so much for what you're doing!!
Love the content Bryan. I can truly feel you are trying to have a positive impact on the world. You are the kind of influence we need in our modern society. Kind regards, Simon
He's literally insane.
@@mooncat.787 Thank God... I thought I was the only one. This dude is mental. I believe that your job as a human is to enjoy your life and the body to which you were given. To be so scared and obsessed with your mortality so you are consumed with hiding from it, you have missed the point.
This man is the human equivelent of keeping the wrapping on your phone for the entire time you own it as you are affraid it will get scratched.
@@doccock100 Thank God for you ! I thought I was the only one in thinking this man is totally insane. What a chronic waste of life, and it is a chronic waste of life no matter how you want to look at it. Your analogy of the phone is spot on (hilarious as well) I mean why would you go to these extraordinary lengths for self preservation when you could be hit by a bus when out and about. Or does this lunatic never leave the house ? None of it makes sense.... Anyways Sir enjoy your life (that's what we are here for isn't it ?) Eat, drink, enjoy....... Much love.
@mooncat.787 the same to you !!
This is probably your most underrated video. Well done 👌
I've been following Kjetil's work for years. We had a few skype sessions a couple of years ago and he's helped me with some of my own problems. I nearly fell off my chair seeing him on your channel, he deserves more recognition. Really awesome.
Please do more videos on posture!! This is awesome. I want to have incredible posture.
This is fantastic. You asked for some content ideas on your instagram channel and I asked about posture specifically, so super happy to see this.
Also, curious if you've done any testing with injectable peptides (specifically BPC-157 + TB-500 or sermorelin).
Great content my friend. My wife and I are already deep down the health & biohacking path AND you've brought a bunch of new technologies, exercises, and ideas forward for us. Especially interested in the progress of healing your ears/auditory sense - my hearing is really good but as a music lover keeping that true or even heightening it would be incredible to learn.
HI Bryan, thanks for your fantastic work, you're a huge inspiration! I have changed so many things in my life and health since I started watching your videos! Big thanks to you!
I found the best solution for this and it doesnt involve any exercise protocols. I sleep on the floor, on my back. What this has done for my posture and body in general is incredible and it literally happens while I sleep. Im not saying the stuff that Bryan is doing doesnt work, but sleeping on the floor will do the job and with zero effort on your part.
Bryan, holding the phone in the up position is a big key. 👍 BUT if you support your raised elbow with your other hand, in front of you, you'll use your shoulder muscles less, so it's easier to maintain. (Plus you won't get tight traps) Good on you
5:15 ive always had reasonably good posture.
Like you mentioned, people are gonna go out of their way to tell you and boi do they. However, in my experience they take personal offence to it. The amount of times I have had strangers asking if i think im better than them because my back is straight 🤦🏼♀️
YES!!!! I just left a comment about that! Some people don't like it when you have good posture!!
@@sl4983screw them
Keep going Brian. I always learn something new from your videos. Thanks.
This man is really awesome super proud of whatever you're doing. This (blue print) can/will be very beneficial for all future generations to follow.
This is the push the I needed. I am 6,4 and I always look down on people, phone, food, screens, etc. I will work on it and see if I can fix it. Thank you so much for your work
look down with eyes only, keep being straight
Thanks so much Bryan!
learnt it the hard way, and what helped me were -
1. conscious relaxing
2. ear and shoulder in one line
3. upward stretch with chin tuck
4. isometric exercises
hope this helps someone.
I really appreciate the information and advice this video gave. As someone young enough to feel like this posture problem shouldn’t be mine, it started long ago and I have been struggling to fix it for years. Knowing the solution is going to be painful and at least someone tells you their experience but that it will get better if you put some simple effort into it really helped me say I can try- rather that giving up because it’s “too hard.”
I especially like this video because, while I know next to nothing about the guy in it, I I know he wants healthy over anything and he noted his struggles to get to where he’s got better posture. He seems legit and I can appreciate the understanding for my posture issues.
I'm a 23-year-old young man in Korea and I'm watching your blue print project closely. In Korea, you were introduced through various media, and I was very impressed by your activities. I am implementing some of them through the information on your website. Thank you for giving me so much inspiration and vision. Your valuable experiments and your desire to help others are a great help.
Interesting comment. How was Bryan Johnson viewed by the Korean media?
I’m fixing my posture the last few months. Definitely hurts like hell. And I still have many months to go. Perhaps a year.
it is really hard
@@BryanJohnson I am now 30 years old, and I already notice slouch. First of all, I put a picture of the correct spine in the screensaver of the phone. When I pick up the phone, I already straighten up. Thank you for the video. It's very relevant
i promise you everything you are doing is wrong... posture is the biggest bs
@@xi9-3em thanks for this idea
@@drewgootz1713 What's right?
I work as a UX designer on a tech team. A lot of these cues are ones that I've included in monthly newsletters to my entire organization. I find it incredibly challenging that corporate wellness packages don't (generally) include some sort of gym membership or tips on how people can be physically healthier. So I took it upon my self to share tips just like this. Movement is medicine.
Unfortunately, going to the gym will often make back pain worse because of poor posture while performing exercises. 99% of "posture" and "chronic back pain" experts on TH-cam just repeat "strengthen and stretch"... I've tried it all and continue to suffer. If I've done all that work and come up empty, I don't think we can blame companies for not helping. They would just be wasting their money on things that don't work.
@@LeoFrenchie At the end of the day, having some sort of wellness plan to address any shortcoming is paramount. Sure, you can go to the gym and make your back pain worse if you move beyond your range of motion with a weight your body isn't prepared for. BUT at the same time, you can improve back pain (to use your example) by performing said exercises correctly. If you're untrained, uncoached, or misinformed on what to do, I can see how you might not be making progress.
@@robschilke your message mentioned gym membership & tips. A gym membership doesn’t usually come with a personal coach. Tips in a newsletter or TH-cam video only go so far. Misinformed is anyone talking about “tips”, “stretches”, and “workouts” for chronic back pain. Why do you think millions suffer of this and videos about the solutions have millions of views? It’s not about people not looking for a solution. Physical therapists are growing like wild flowers. They’re not helping either.
If you’re lucky enough to have found a solution for your pain, I’m glad for you. But after months and months of searching, watching, visiting doctors of all sorts and personal trainers, I have to tell you that the solution cannot come in any kind of “wellness package” because what they would include in it would not work. At least not for the majority.
@@LeoFrenchie Salut ça fait plaisir de voir un français ici mdr, je regarde cette video car j'ai des douleurs quand je tourne ma tete vers la droite. La majorité des videos que je trouve sont du stretch and strengthen mais je resens pas d'amélioration, tu connais des chaines ou des conseils pour ne plus avoir ces douleurs ?
You are soooo right about the psychological effects of having good posture!! Sometimes people don’t want to be noticed hence hunch…
Thank you for the insights !!
This video and you just released now with the timing in my life it's pretty insane I been working so hard the last 2 weeks on trying to replicate your posture from you previously video's where you slightly show the shoulder movements you perfectly demonstrated here!
Thank you Bryan! My posture have improved and I'm sleeping slightly better from focusing on everything around improving my posture in the day time by stretch my shoulders and chest and doing your shoulder exercise, I also have been simply just walking around normal and relax with 10 kg in my hands with shoulder in good posture to slightly just stretch. My chest to shoulders have been so unbelievable thight.
Thank you! The kneen over toe is also one of the exercises I done in my life that was the most efficient and fastest exercises to get painful knees to not be painful anymore and just get stronger knees took about 4 months
Thanks for sharing!
I was skeptical about whether correcting my posture could actually improve the feeling of blood flowing, until I tried it. So, following the instructions in the video, I adjusted my posture to achieve the best alignment and then focused on sensing the blood flow. Surprisingly, I could indeed feel an increased blood flow. I like it. This video has set me on a journey towards better posture. Thank you, Brian!
Really appreciate that you said it’ll take some time to fix one’s posture. Thanks!
Bryan, you’re doing great job! Keep on going with all you do!
Hi Bryan, I had the same problem... I found walking everyday really helped while focusing on my upper back posture . Using videos and mirrors is very helpful... after several months it becomes more natural and not something you 'need to constantly work on'. I also did the exercises and such, but the walking is way better since posture is not static. I am about 9 mos into fixing my posture. So hopefully this helps.
There is no "bad" posture and having an upright posture does not fix any back pains/problems. The only thing this changes is how people perceive you, as it's a sign of confidence. Besides this, there is not a single health benefit of having an upright posture.
Eer....what are you on about?
@@RacoonFighter source: trust me bro
@Healthality Are you dumb lol?
@@RacoonFighter holy shit dude, how many levels of denial deep are you?
Fix your posture, grow up
Bryan thank-you so much for sharing such specific steps to improve posture. I’m 53 and I started mewing to improve my posture, jaw structure and breathing and I see such a difference in just 6 months. I can’t wait to implement these exercises as well. You motivate me to be a better version of myself 🤗
Keep going😊!
Brilliant. I’ll look up on YT.
Putting your tongue on the roof of your mouth?
Oh Bryan I’m so glad I’ve found your channel! You’re such an inspiration and you’re such a nice guy:) I’ve already changed a few things in my life thanks to you (for better of caurse). I can’t do all the Blueprint protocole,obviously but I’m trying to incorporate as much as possible. Thank you for doing it for us!💪 All the best!
I noticed in one of your other videos how good your posture was. Now I know why. Thank you for clear cut exercises to make change.
please more about good posture! i started to work on my posture so hard because i had horrible headaches due to the turtle neck. Trust me i have so much attention from women now due to a good posture.
Great video Bryan - would love to see you bring in one of the more prominent TH-camrs that are trained in Postural Restoration Institute's techniques, as the approach is unique and myself and many others have seen amazing, very quick results with them. Someone like Conor Harris, Zac Cupples, Neal Hallinan, Waughfit, or Chaplin Performance (or even the OGs Ron Hruska or Bill Hartman)! They may even be able to improve your breathing pattern/strategy (you could even consider a trip to the Hruska Clinic in Lincoln, Nebraska to get your posture analyzed from literally every possible angle and input, including jaw position, visual system, autonomic nervous system state, shoe feel/ground sense, etc.).
Of course Kjetil Larsen from MSK Neurology is a great practicioner and content creator too!
Would value continuing to improve. Better than before but I’m eager to get better
@@BryanJohnson Looks like Zac made a video analyzing the approach you detailed in this video, as well as identified some potential areas of improvement/alternate strategies that could be more effective in certain cases. Very informative: th-cam.com/video/xmE4GAgOHTk/w-d-xo.html
You're a huge inspiration for living healthier!
And thank you for sharing openly the things that you learnt through spending so much time and money.
I`m just discovered you, and feel like its the best thing on the internet i found so far.
I have bad posture because of the lack of confidence so my hunching has gotten really bad. It is hard to remember to fix my posture but something I have been doing for the last couple of days is using the "pointing and calling" system Japanese train workers use. I read it from the book Atomic Habits by James Clear but basically every time I notice I am slouching, I say "I am slouching" and consciously straighten my back.... hope this helps some people!
Kjetil is a genius. Dude changed my life after I had spent years and $$$ looking for answers. So glad he’s getting more spotlight with you help 🙏
What was your problem? I'm into his excersices now as well with cervical instability.
@@JoaoSiebinho thoracic outlet syndrome and cervical hinge. Takes time and discipline so stick with it. Did you have a Skype consult with him? Highly recommend doing this if you haven’t
This is so fascinating. Thank you for sharing this - I'm all in!
Bryan this really opened my eyes, my posture is terrible and i kinda just got used to it.
Been really into nutrition, longevity and all this stuff but you kinda rekindled my flame to explore even further, im doing this maybe in a little bit more natural sense still
but this channel is really intresting and even entertaining. Great work!
Bryan is truly one in a million. Theres several folks who could pour this kinda money into a project like this. But to go out of your way to educate, explain, motivate, and demonstrate everything and anything your doing, with a cool awesome demeanor. Badass man, kudos to you Bryan. My prediction is you get to 175 yrs atleast. Just chew your brocoli carefully.
Because he makes double the money back in every single video he makes 😂 duh lol
@@sleepygirllAbsolutely! That's completely beautiful!😊
@@sleepygirllhe does not need the money. He has 800 million in the bank if not more.
@trezen6320 he sold the company for $800 million. He actually took home $300 Million after it was all said and done.
He's completely insane I know that.
I’ve been really getting into calisthenics this past year and I realized that my poor posture has made advanced skills extremely hard due to me having weak muscles in certain areas. I’ve always just tried to force my body in a straight line and that has been painful and unsuccessful. Doing these exercises in just three weeks has made such a huge difference.
My guess with smart phones there’s been a growing epidemic of poor posture worldwide.
@@jmc8076 most definitely. Staring at your phone for hours in such a awkward position is just setting your posture up for failure.
What calisthenics program do you do?
@@sl4983 I don’t use a program just learning on my own. If you wanna start push ups, pull ups, dips for upper body. Squats then harder squat variations when you get more mobility and strength, lunges and glute bridges. Do that for about 6 months to a year and make sure you stretch well before. Just look up stretches on TH-cam if you don’t know. After 3 months you’ll start noticing changes. 6 months huge difference. 1 year and you’ll be amazed with how you feel and look. Also look up some basic core strength exercises. Might seem repetitive at first but don’t push it and try and move on to more advanced exercises if your bodies not ready, will only result in injuries. Good luck!
@@johnlorenzo4212isn’t it bad to stretch before a workout ? U mean warm up ?
This is the most effective posture vid I’ve seen yet.
You are an amazing human. Thank you Bryan for sharing with everyone!
Thanks Bryan for bringing to us valuable info that we taxpayers should have already received. Funny how the AMA, etc. does not endorse this stuff. You are doing us great good.
What do you think about meditating / just beeing completly still/relaxed and focussing on your body and trying to sense how it feels etc.
super epic man. thank you. standup desk has been the greatest so far, but definitely taking some tips from this vid.
I’m going to do this. Posture been bad forever. Thank you so much!
4:40 Interestingly enough, don't some people claim that posture even goes beyond symbolic signaling, affecting mood in a way that matches our impression of the posture?
Unfortunately I couldn't find any solid studies on this, though there appear to be some biofeedback therapies that could help against depressive moods.
Either way, glad you covered this topic!
It's one of these rampant bad habits in our culture that get increasingly normalized. And leads to muscle imbalances, stiffness, and ultimately injury.
As you showed in this video, what makes it especially insidious is the design of our digital devices. Does Blueprint in theory also consider coming up with more ergonomic devices if it aids longevity by supporting ideal posture, or is that a bit of a stretch?
I don't remember this word for word, but I do remember Andrew Huberman saying that there was a study showing that sitting upright keeps your brain more active than being slumped over (not sitting upright compared to taking a nap slumped over, the comparison is doing something mentally either sitting upright or slumped), I think this was to do with sitting down not standing
Both of the pictures in the thumbnail picture are bad posture. The less obvious second posture issue is too much arch in the lower back (lumbar hyperlordosis and anterior pelvic tilt). Love your content Bryan, I think what you are doing for yourself and for the world is amazing!!!
Yeah, thanks for this. We shot these thumbnails too quickly. Will reevaluate my tilt too. 🙏🏻
@@BryanJohnson Thank you for the reply! I hope you see my other comment about the 2 exercises, I would love to be able to give my 2 cents about it and have the opportunity to pitch in with Blueprint!
Thank you for creating this, i really need this.
Love your posts. Thanks for providing the info you provide! Lots of haters but just know a ton of people appreciate your content. Thanks again.
What chair is that? I was expecting a Herman Miller chair. I think an ergonomic chair will help a lot.
I found you through Will Tennyson. At first I thought you were weird and creepy. Now I think you're a freaking awesome person with an amazing positivity and outlook on life. Keep doing what you're doing. The world needs you right now in a bad way.
Thanks for sharing Bryan! I appreciate it a lot!
Awesome content!!! 🎉I needed this for the past 8 years thank you my guyyy
At first, your appearance and demeanor comes off very strange, and assumptions and judgements shortly follow.
After sleeping on it, I find myself questioning a lot of the things I do and I have become very grateful for your dedication to project blueprint. It truly is paradigm shifting. Congrats on your transformation, and thank you for making all of this open source.
i can definitely see your upright posture but it also seems a little stiff to me as if your constantly controlling and not just moving well positioned
Congratulations for 300k family❤
Damn, a short, sweet, and actually informative video.
"I've been spending millions of dollars" ...Wait, what?
He is the founder of Venmo, he is a billionaire giving this data and information out for free! Bryan is the goat of reverse aging.
He has basically the equivalent of a hospital at his own home, hope that explains it
PLEASE, DONT LOCK ME IN YOUR BASEMENT
Too bad
Sorry 🤪

The only thing he's locking in his basement is the 15 clones he just made of himself...
You can start a new family with the rats down there :)
Mate, you have the best posture that I've ever seen and I was thinking after one of the interviews with you "I wish he would made a video about it". And here it is :) Thank you!

He looks like a freakin vampire.
