10 Ways Posture Affects Your Health, Performance and Status (#4 Gets You Laid More Often) -

**If You Want to Be An Alpha Male – and Have a High Level of Health, Performance and Status – Having Great Posture is Essential. Here’s Why, and How to Get It…**

By Adam Armstrong

Posture is a very big deal.

If you have great posture – you’ll improve your Health, Performance and Status (for reasons I’ll explain in just a minute).

On the contrary. If you have less than great posture – like many men do – you’ll negatively affect the things which matter most… Health, Performance and Status.

These days, it’s rare to see a man with truly great posture…

Too much SITTING in our society is to blame. Combined with people just not giving it a second’s thought!

When you sit down too much:

Your head goes forwards. Giving you a weak, ‘Chicken-Head’ posture
Your chest caves in
Your shoulders round forwards
Your belly sticks out
Your butt becomes FLAT
You lose an inch or two in height!

And, well… you get the idea…

Sitting = Bad Posture

And:

Bad Posture = A Loss of Health, Performance and Status!

Right now, let’s take a look at 10 ways posture affects your Health, Performance and Status. And, then I’ll give you some simple strategies that you can use to IMPROVE your posture.

Here goes:

10 Important Ways Your Posture Affects Your Health, Performance and Status:

#1: Good Posture Improves The Health of Your Joints

“Better Posture = Less Joint Pain”

Joint PAIN – and Joint INJURY – are very common. And, not just among athletes.

For instance, studies show that something like 80%-90% of American Adults will experience serious LOWER BACK PAIN at least once in their lives.

That’s nearly everybody!

And, a huge proportion of people also experience SHOULDER pain or injury.

The knees aren’t too far behind either. With many people getting to the point where even simple things like WALKING UP STAIRS, becomes painful!

Urgh.

I couldn’t imagine living like that.

Nobody wants PAIN. It’s miserable.

And, here’s the thing…

A lot of Joint Pain and Injury is, at least in part, caused by BAD POSTURE.

So, one huge benefit of improving your posture is that you’ll have healthier, more resilient, and less injury-prone joints!

#2: Good Posture Improves The Health of Your Internal Organs!

Here’s an idea that’s IGNORED by almost everyone. Even Doctor’s. And, even people who say they’re into ‘alternative health’ too…

The FACT that your posture will effect the health of your Internal Organs!

Now, I’m not an expert on this specifically, but let’s just use some good old freakin’ common sense…

If you have LOUSY posture…

If you have the ‘chicken-head’ thing going on…

If you have a pigeon chest, and shoulders that are all rounded forward…

If your belly sticks out…

And your ass is FLAT and ‘tucked under’…

Do you think that all that PHYSICAL, STRUCTURAL DYSFUNCTION going on in your body might also negatively effect the health and performance of your internal organs?

The only sane answer to that question, is:

“YES!”

So, if you want your internal organs to be optimally healthy (and you really should want that) – then it’s essential that you have GOOD posture!

#3: Good Posture Increases Your Testosterone Levels

“More Sex… One of The Many Benefits of Higher Testosterone Levels”

Good News:

Having good posture has been SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN to INCREASE your Testosterone Levels.

Yup, that’s right…

Simply standing up like a MAN – and ‘owning your posture’ – RAISES your Testosterone Levels.

And, you know what Healthy Testosterone Levels give you, right?

Things like…

Sex-Drive.

Erection Quality.

Drive, Determination, Motivation.

Muscle.

Strength.

And more.

They all rely on having healthy testosterone levels. And, healthy posture = higher testosterone 🙂

#4: Good Posture Makes You More Attractive to Women

All other things being equal – a woman will be more ATTRACTED to a man with GREAT POSTURE.

Why?

Because great posture signals to her that you are HEALTHY. And, it gives you more Status in ‘The Mating Game.’

And, who a woman chooses to go to bed with is based, to a large extent, on who she believes will provide her with healthy offspring!

So, good posture = you ‘getting laid’ more often.

Consider these points also:

When you have good posture, with your stomach FLAT, and your ASS in the right place (i.e., sticking out somewhat, as opposed to being flat, and ‘tucked under’) – she looks at your ass and thinks ‘STRONG THRUSTING POWER’
When you have good posture, with your shoulders back and down, and your chest out, she sees a CONFIDENT MAN. And, nothing makes a woman’s pussy WET quite like CONFIDENCE

#5: Good Posture Decreases Your Chances of Being Violently Attacked!

“Violent Attackers Pick On The Weak. Lousy Posture = Weakness!”

Old people. Women. Children.

The frail, small and weak.

Those are the people who are usually the victims of violent attacks.

Reason being:

Most people who commit violent attacks, on innocent people, are complete and utter COWARDS. So they pick on ‘easy targets.’ People who seem defenseless.

Now, your posture says A LOT to a wannabe attacker, about whether or not to mess with you. And, whether or not to mess with you, and whoever else you may be with! (I.e. your kids, your woman, your parents etc.).

Think about it…

If you walk round with your head down, looking at the floor. With your hands in your pockets. With your shoulders forwards. With your belly stuck out…

You look WEAK.

You look like a Beta Male.

You are INCREASING your chances of being the victim of mindless violence.

In contrast…

When you stand tall. When your head is positioned directly over your shoulders. When your chest is naturally out and your shoulders back. When your belly is flat…

Now you look like a MAN.

You look like an Alpha.

And, you’ll make the kind of mindless SCUM who go round attacking people, think twice before fucking with you!

#6: Good Posture Makes You More Positive, Motivated and Confident

Indulge me, and try a little experiment:

First, stand up, put your hands in your pockets, stick your belly out, and round your shoulders forwards. Now look down at the floor.

Notice how positive you feel.

Notice how motivated you feel.

Notice how confident you feel.

“NOT VERY” is probably your reaction to ALL of those things!

Next, try this:

Stand up tall.

Look straight ahead.

Have your arms by your side.

Stick your chest out.

Pull your shoulders back.

Make your belly flat.

Basically – stand like an ALPHA.

How do you feel?

About 10X as positive, motivated and confident as you did 5 seconds ago with shitty posture, right? 😉

#7: Good Posture Makes You Stronger

“Strength is Best Built on a Foundation of Great Posture”

I believe men should be STRONG.

I wrote all about why strength isn’t just for meatheads in this blog post.

Alpha Males must be strong.

And, the truth is…

It’s much easier to be physically STRONG when you posture is awesome.

Good Posture = Strength.

Bad Posture = Physical Dysfunction, Weakness, and, in the end… PAIN and INJURY.

#8: Good Posture Helps You Breathe Better and Improves Your Energy Levels

One of the easiest ways to improve your ENERGY LEVELS – and your Cardiovascular Fitness – is to BREATHE DEEPLY.

Seriously…

Do breathing exercises daily…

And, spend as much time as possible with your mouth shut, breathing through your nose.

Those 2 things will MASSIVELY improve your energy levels and cardiovascular fitness.

Question is:

“What’s stopping up breathing correctly – with your mouth shut, deeply, into your belly?”

Well, bad posture can really screw up your breathing patterns.

So, that’s yet another benefit of having great posture – you’ll have more ENERGY, and you’ll have more cardiovascular fitness (without actually having to do any boring ‘cardio’ 🙂

#9: Good Posture Helps You Avoid Tension Headaches

“Better Posture = Fewer Headaches”

Thankfully, I could count the number of headaches I’ve had in my entire life, on the fingers of one hand!

However, I’m well aware that many people suffer from headaches on a regular basis.

One particular kind of headache, called ‘Tension Headaches,’ can be caused by lousy posture. Because dysfunctions in the upper back, shoulders, and neck, cause the head to be pulled in ways it doesn’t want to be pulled…

The result being:

Tension Headaches.

So – fix your posture, and fewer headaches are a likely outcome.

#10: Good Posture Helps You Become a Successful Alpha Male

Having read the other 9 points – this 10th point is now painfully obvious, right?

To be a Successful Alpha Male – having great posture is a ‘must.’

Question is:

How can you IMPROVE your posture?

Here Are 3 Simple Ways to Improve Your Posture, Starting Today…

#1: Do Some Head Nods…

Head Nods are a simple exercise.

All babies do them, when they are learning to control their heads.

Head nods will loosen up your neck and upper back. They improve your balance and co-ordination too. And, they’ll definitely improve your posture (especially if you have that ‘head forwards’ posture many people have today).

Here’s what you do:

Assume a quadruped position (get on your hands and knees on the floor. Knees directly under your hips. Wrists directly under your shoulders)
Look down with your eyes, and let your head follow. Look down as much as you can, without moving into pain! Over time, your range of motion will increase
Look up with your eyes, and let your head follow. Look up as much as you can, without moving into pain! Over time, your range of motion will increase

Do at least 10 reps, once a day.

Ideally, do something like 10 reps, 3 times a day.

It’ll take you seconds. That’s all.

Yet, done daily, day-in-day-out, the results will be MASSIVE over time.

#2: Become More Conscious of The Way You Sit…

“Sitting Like This Is Asking for Trouble…”

Sitting less is great.

But, sometimes you gotta sit. So, you might as well pay attention to HOW you sit, right?

Otherwise sitting will likely SCREW UP your posture sooner or later.

So, when you sit in a chair:

Push your backside all the way back in the chair
Sit up ‘tall’
Ensure your head is over your shoulders (as opposed to protruding forwards)
If you are working on a computer, set it up so that it’s at eye level (if you constantly look DOWN at the screen, you’re encouraging the ‘chicken-head/head-forwards’ posture!)

#3: Become More Conscious of The Way You Sleep…

Hopefully you’re going to sleep for 7-8 hours a night.

Yet, here’s the thing…

If you sleep in a weird way, that can be 7-8 yours of ‘doing bad things to your posture,’ every single night.

So, here are some pointers:

Avoid sleeping on your front. Because it is BAD for your LOWER BACK (and, as I mentioned earlier – 80-90% of American Adults will experience lower back pain or injury in their lives)
If you sleep on your side, use a pillow to ensure that your head is in correct alignment (meaning: too thick or thin a pillow is not optimal. Try find a pillow that’s ‘just right’ – one that puts your head in the same position it would be if you were standing up with good posture)
If you sleep on your side, you may want to put a thin pillow between your legs
If you sleep on your back, and it causes you lower back discomfort, try putting a thin pillow under the back of your knees)

Ultimately, you know the old saying:

“Practice makes Perfect”

Well, I’ve got news for you my friend:

That saying is BULLSHIT.

You see, the truth is:

“Practice makes PERMANENT”

So, if you spend as much time as possible in ‘good posture’ – that’s how you’ll end up. With good posture.

However, if you spend a lot of time in bad posture – that’s how you’ll end up.

It’s a choice.

Choose wisely.
