How do you avoid back pain while working on computers or

My neck is killing me right now undoubtable because of my poor posture. I feel this should be a very relateable issue on /g/

Having an already strong back. Seriously, join a gym and squat. No more back pain.

>>52520291
I just remembered it happens, spent 30 minutes disassembling a laptop on the floor because I don't have a table big enough for it. Got up a few times to get tools, but after finishing I got up and was greeted with severe stiffness.

Can't I just do squats from home?

>>52520342
Sure, do that. It will definitely help, although eventually you'll need to add resistance. A set of adjustable dumbbells will do if you'd rather not join a gym. It really works wonders for my back at least.

Stop ruining your back

How about a stick and some water jugs?

Also have a written guide for sets to do daily?

Do sit ups and plank a minute at a time. Also you wont get a stitch when you run

Or hire a trainer

A routine for squat's isn't listed in there buddy. 90% of that guide is "why don't you lift!"

Squats, deadlifts, stacksitting on a metal folding chair, discipline.

the only ways i've found to be effective for unfucking a computer fucked back is standing, sitting in a comfy recliner, laying down or simply stop using your computer very much

sitting in a $1,000 ergonomic chair with perfect posture doesn't help, i own two
lifting doesn't solve the problem, i have a nice power rack

some problems can be helped by sitting properly but it's no cure all. some problems can be helped a fair amount by lifting but again, it it won't solve the problem

the traditional desk and chair paradigm is just a back fucker that's all there is to it. there's a reason they tell you to take frequent breaks. too bad taking frequent breaks suck ass when you're in the middle of something all the time.

Zero gravity.

Having a good office chair (not some $50-200 piece of crap) + occasional workout works.

I was so bad when it came to computer posture I developed aura migraines from straining my neck and back for so long.

The only thing that has helped me were frequent breaks. It could be as simple as getting a computer app, or phone app, but I prefer having it on a smartwatch so I don't end up just focusing my attention on whatever reminded me.

Just take 2 Aleve© for all day relief™ :^)

Forever DYEL and in pain, breh.

Why are everybody convinced lifting is the answer. How about some core exercises?

Because it fucking works. Squads alone will do wonders for your posture.

Fuck you and your half assed help.

>>52520450
in the beginning everything will do the trick. You don't need weights at first. Starting with weights, unasisted will probably hurt you.
Look at youtube vids, train abs, lower back and legs. After a month you will feel a lot better.
Do stretches when you sit for longer periods, stand up and move around.

>>52520151
Get some dumbells and do shoulder press exercises and squats at home. If you develop muscle around your back, that will take the strain when doing repairs instead of your spine.

>>52520151
Start lifting weights every day , you cuck. If Your back gives in because it can't even handle you sitting then you are way too weak.

You have detoriorated and have become weaker than the human body is designed for. You have the back muscles of a rodent. You need to build enough muscles to be able to carry you sitting.

fuck you for being so up your own ass that you come to a tech board looking for fitness advice, and when you get pointed in the right direction by someone knowledgable you tell them to get fucked

do you even lift bro? i'll fuck you up

Avoid bending. Sit in a chair or stand and don't overly bend.

Before spending big bucks, have a medical check up

Lifting IS a core exercise. You can get a solid sixpack from just deadlifts and squats (at least if you do front squats which Office workers should) alone.

Lifting With proper form will likely do more to Your core back and front muscles than just situps and so on. All you really need for a full body workout are squats, deadlifts, dips, pull ups and cardio. (bench press and millitary press might also be good if you want good looking muscles, but those muscles are already covered by pullups and dips) You get a full workout and Train Your Whole body With that.
