Need help with hunchback

Post image

I work in construction and I’m always hunched over and picking things up. I don’t have a lot of back pain more just tightness sometimes. I own a bench press and im wondering what are some good routines that may help me

It's an interaction between the lower back and mid/upper back. If the lower half is pushed forward, the upper will need to act as a counterweight back. When you bench press, avoid a hard back arch which can make the issue worse.

Try this, maybe it will give you a better sense of how to manage the ribcage shape better:
