Saw my form for the first time today and whoo boy. I have anterior pelvic tilt due to my chest deformity that keeps on giving. When I plank, my lower back dips in. When I push it up, my upper back has a decent hump. I can't get my back straight.

What am I doing wrong and how do I fix it?

    Giving probably wrong answer: try doing other planks as well (reverse, sideways), and for tilt (I heard) raising your hips for 30 s while resting on shoulders, hands and feet fully planted is very useful, if done each day (don’t remember what this exercise is called) :/

        Yeah kinda, but not using your head or arms as an anchor, instead resting on shoulder blades and arms resting near hips - it’s easier to do each day even tired.

        Kinda lie down on the back relaxed, bring feet closer, and raise hips, while not using arms or raising heels, it has some very simple name but I’m blanking on it. Ideally your body should form straight line from chest to knees, and you’ll fell some muscles in the back working
