Im 20, have been working out for a year or so... I've noticed that my shoulders have become slanted forward. I'd like to know what I can do about it - which areas to train to get that reversed. Thanks for the help.

you have muscle imbalances. you need to work your posterior deltoids. have you been training them ?

Errr...maybe once a month..

Rear delts and back are weak probably. I do little to no rear delt work, just lots of rows.

Yeah, I was under the impression that posterior delts didn't need to be trained individually since they got worked enough by rowing exercises during back day. Is this the same for the anterior delts? That they get worked enough by bench pressing and other push exercises?

Some believe in that yes. There are some powerlifters who only do side lateral work, and very low volume otherwise.
I will sometimes do 1 set of overheads (working), and 1-2 sets of rear, no real front raises or anything like that. 1-2 sets of side lateral work. Depends how I feel also, shoulders get a crapload of work.

Yeah, I would assume so, but it all depends on your training routine. My rear delts are actually stronger than my fronts... i love de rows...

i never do shoulder presses or front raises at all. only lateral raises and some stuff for posterior delt isolation.
you need to start focusing on your back. dont worry so much about the glam lifts.

Try Dumbell overhead presses, as well. Im told they work your medial? (middle) delts more than your anterior.

As long as the persons incline pressing is not high on volume, otherwise it may be an issue. Everyone is different though.
Plus, not everyones incline is the same angle.

Do rows. Lots of rows.

Get hold of those posterior muscles. Do some bent over lateral raises.
