Perfect Posture is key to maintain a body ‘balanced’ in muscle strength.

According to Dr. Ben Lerner:

All exercise and stretching, as well as all movement in life, needs to be performed as close to Perfect Posture as possible. God designed the body using all of the vast, highly technical laws of science, mathematics and physics in order for your “Body By God” to best deal with gravity. When maintaining your posture, the muscles, joints and bones are at their strongest and most stable. This will allow them to be able to withstand large or repetitive forces without suffering injury.

Perfect Posture

• The head is up and back so the ears line up over the shoulders, and the arc (lordosis or reversed “C” curve) in the neck is maintained
• Shoulders are rolled back in the joints
• Upper back flat and not arched or humped
• Belly button is out and hips back so you have an arc (lordosis/reversed “C” curve like the neck) in your lower back called the “weight lifter’s arch”
• Knees are slightly bent to provide shock absorption

At the gym I often see people adding more weight to a very imbalanced physique. Not only does this cause more tension on those imbalanced muscles, but you are also making yourself more prone to injury.
