I’ve been informed that my video about Blackburns is too “long” and “boring” and that I’m “monotone” in the video. So I’ve decided to post these photos of the Blackburns positions for easier and less boring viewing. For a written explanation of what Blackburns are and what they’re for, click here. And yes, I’m aware that I have freakishly long alien arms.

If you’re a human and you’re alive in the 21st century, odds are good that you have pretty terrible posture. Years upon years of sitting, slumped over a desk, have rounded your shoulders and turned your upper back into a kyphotic nightmare. If you’re a baseball, softball, tennis, or volleyball player, the effects are probably even more pronounced.
Look at the average human these days and this is what you’ll see:
Head forward, shoulders forward, and hunched spine. None of these are good traits. How does this happen?
