Try this stretch and tell me what you think.

So there's this stretch I do before/after meditating. I discovered it when I was a kid trying to fix my hunch back a few years ago. I've found that from doing it, my mind is calmer and focused. 

Sit on the floor with your legs crossed, however you want to. Put your arms behind your back clasp your hands together with fingers interlocking.

Now whilst keeping your back as straight as you can, and keeping your hands together, pull your shoulders and arms out as far out away from your back as you can. You can alternate between having your hands vertically aligned with your butt and having them vertical aligned with your upper back. The important part is that you're extending your arms, with your hands together and fingers interlocking, and shoulders as far back as you can. The angle isn't too important. Pour your heart in soul into exerting yourself with this stretch. 

Keep doing this for a few minutes and you should feel a burning/tingling feeling in your forearms and shoulders. You've now hit the jack pot. Keep this stretch up for as long as you can, and the longer you can hold it the better the effect.

Once the stretch is over, tell me how you feel.

Hark ye yet again — the little lower layer. All visible objects, man, are but as pasteboard masks. But in each event — in the living act, the undoubted deed — there, some unknown but still reasoning thing puts forth the mouldings of its features from behind the unreasoning mask. If man will strike, strike through the mask! How can the prisoner reach outside except by thrusting through the wall? To me, the white whale is that wall, shoved near to me. Sometimes I think there's naught beyond. But 'tis enough.

Feels good, I have been working at my posture for a while and this hits the thoracic spine area which seems to be a place I store tension.

I also find the cactus arms stretch helpful

You see, the reason you want to be better, is the reason why you aren’t. Shall I put it like that?

We aren't better, because we want to be.

@lmfao Awesome! Also, for the hunch, have you tried, when walking, simply extending the each step (each foot) a little bit further back that’s you have been? It lines shit up.

@Jacko yeah boi.

@Nahm I don't understand what you mean. You advising that I take smaller steps or larger steps?

I am also doing it since a few years. But standing. It's okay for hunchback, because I don't have any.

Do you have something for sticking out butt? :P

Felt nice across the sternum area for a second. Felt a stretch in the upper arm. Then it hurt my wrists ?
