Any tips?
Would a hinge movement and ab work help?

Lifting has improved my posture but I mostly ignored lower back and core work and I still have APT. I try to correct it while walking but I hyperfocus on it and I look really stiff and autistic. I just wanna look cool and confident when I walk.

Any time you're standing still, clench butt & tighten abs, over time this will help correct it.

I did start doing this and it helps somewhat, but it is kinda difficult for me to keep my abs tight without eventually tilting again

think I have this a little bit. from the op pic Im tempted to say
>strengthen abs
>stretch lumbar spine
>strengthen glutes and hams
>stretch hip flexors
>>
This meme thing, unironically.

Also back extension.
Beyond that there is a good chance the muscles that allow you to rotate your hips are weak as well, on top of being horridly tight.

retarded drawing but I'm a lanklet and im pretty sure I have this and I wonder if it has to do with me sitting like the dude on the right. I sort of sit with my hips and pelvis rotated forward so my ass and lower back are in more contact with the bottom of a seat. anyone else sit like this?

It will not be instant

strengthen upper back which will bring your CoM backwards and your pelvis will compensate by tilting forward
>>
>>76703617
You would be right to say this.
For most people it's weak hip flexors and glutes.

Strengthen them both and it will fix itself.

Sitting all day has broken our butts.

You want to hit hip thrusts specifically, and possibly avoid training lower back for a while, no barbell rows, no deadlifts, etc
People with severe APT tend to hinge with their erectors and make the lumbar tightness worse.

Other than that, hollow holds in various positions like dead hang or handstand against a wall, and doing lots of planks, ab wheel, and rotational ab movements like broomstick twists, pallof press, etc

For loosening up hip flexors, lunge stretches can work, but active tissue release with a lacrosse ball or other implement is great. A lot of people with bad hip flexors struggle to stretch them well because they can’t control their pelvis angle well.

Sports massage is good too, if you’ve got $$$

OP posture issues are caused by what you do every day.
People shill muscle weakness and they shill meme exercises.
However none of that shit works if you don't change the way you live. You can't outlift hour upon hour of bad posture, it's impossible.
Because to do so means you're no longer living and you're just spending every hour in the gym.

You have to change the way you live.
and the answer is learning how your body works.
corrective breathing exercises in the proper posture positions teaches your body to stop fighting against proper posture.
Once the thoracic cage learns how it is suppose to breathe. You can now actually correct posture.
Because until you do this, the body will always auto correct your efforts to support what the thoracic cavity thinks is proper posture.

I've done what this anon post.
I also do deep breath foam rolling.
Deep breath thoracic wall turns
assisted yoga block groin stretches
and in general yoga splits.
When I say deep breath you have to be able to eject all of the air out of your body also, the thoracic cavity has to learn to expand and contact in these positions to maximum rom.
Once it can do this the rest basically falls into place.
getting stronger abs ain't going to do shit when you're rib flaring 24/7 and negating all of your muscle progress daily by negatively impacting the body for the other 23 hours of the day.
it's simple mathematics.

Its a muscular imbalance. Just do some motions/flexes and pay attention to mmc and strengthen your underdeveloped muscles.
