I would like to add to #2. Be sure to stretch those lats! The lats, like your pecs, are internal rotators, so doing lots of chin ups and pull ups without stretching them will lead to tight lats and thus compound upper cross syndrome. Perhaps also try working your external rotators as well as your scapular retractors and depressors. This link should explain things better than I can. http://www.t-nation.com/free_online_article/sports_body_training_performance/hips_dont_lie_fixing_your_force_couples Great advice!

I find that my awareness has grown so if I do sink into the "computer neck" posture, I can feel it and correct or sit up taller and engage my abs. Great article. Thanks for these simple tips.

What they suggest is something called "Forward Rotation of the Head." If you 'try' to have good posture, you may not be able to hold it. Improving your posture is not just about trying to sit or stand up straight. It is not just about tensing the correct muscles, but also relaxing other muscles such as your shoulders. You want your body to be relaxed into alignment. Forward Rotation of the Head means that you pull your head up as high as it will go, but you do it more with the back of your head so that your head slightly rotates forward. This flattens out the back and elongates the spine. As you do this, you want to relax the shoulders, as a common tendency for guys working on their posture is to hunch their shoulders up rather than down and back.
