  What do you mean by computer nerd neck? I do shrugs, which hits the traps, but I find my neck is a bit thicker too. Front squats isolate the quads more - I prefer to do back squats, then isolate smaller groups with quad extensions and hamstring curls; the latter being good for the glutes too.

      Stretch your chest muscles, do face pulls. Do rows and deadlifts. If your posture is really bad, don't train (strengthen) chest until you've improved things a bit and have done plenty of stretching. Then use postural reminding aids (don't use a brace unless a physio tells you to), I put a small massage ball behind each shoulder blade and the chair when i'm working, if they fall I know i've slouched. I went from people openly telling me I needed to fix my posture, to being credited with great posture in about 4-6 months. My posture actually still needs work, because I have pretty noticeable anterior pelvic tilt, but the forward-neck issues are mostly gone.

        Awesome, thanks for the tips. I have anterior pelvic tilt too— what are you doing to correct this?

  Get a neck harness. It's really the only way to fully train the neck.
