No pain no gain lol, i neglected posterior chain for ages and i have bad anterior pelvic tilt (sleeping on stomach whole life, playing videogames all day for most of my life, bad posture etc etc,so im doing lots of posterior chain work now and iv seen some improvement. Core work has been helping too.

Will probably ditch seated machine presses in favour of another lateral raise variation for middle delts. Also rear peck deck before facepulls makes rear delts wayyy pumped and then facepulls get a good mmc with rear delts which is good.

Honestly I’m kind of jealous, you’re work outs sound way more interesting than mine.
I may have to read up on some John meadows :+1:
