Last ‘tips’ I want to share are to frequently stretch out your pecs and front delts. You can probably do these stretches between your rowing sets without them interfering with your workout or outside commitments.
And finally - simply doing all this rowing and pec/delt stretching will not do much in itself to correct your hunched posture (as opposed to your muscle mass imbalance). You need to make a conscious effort in every day life to walk / sit upright with your shoulders pulled back and down (same goes for your head).
I had that hunched look, not from poor exercise selection, but from sitting all day in front of my books (in university) and later my computer (at work) with the shittiest posture imaginable. I figured if I just did more rowing exercises that my posture would magically fix itself. Well it didn’t. It’s not until I forced myself to walk/sit “military style” that it eventually got better.

I apreciate these tips man, especially the ones about pull downs. Now im debateing on my exercise selection.
1.Romanian deads, conventional, or rack pulls, maybe rack pulls with a romanian deadlift grip.
2. BB rows, Seated wide grip rows, inverted pull ups
3.meadow rows, or one arm DB Rows
Even though your not an expert i like your advice lol. any suggestions on exercise selection? before you shoot down romanian deads, i was thinking about useing them with and under hand grip to emphasize external rotation. what do you think. Any advice is great.
