Ergonomics

>>17998510
Just set up your battle station and posture to emulate the pic you posted. Take breaks (take a walk?) ever so often (every 20-30 min?).

You could also take a pic of your setup, post it, and have people critique it.

If you have spare cash invest in 400$+ ergonomic chair (migh wanna search for that or "office chair"). This stuff is balls to the wall amazing and keeps you comfy even in suboptimal positions.

This armchair is quite comfy, sometimes I put my feet on the coffee table, sometimes I rest them on the floor. I keep laptop in my lap. Temperature in my flat is low, to save on the bills, so I use duvet to keep warm and to isolate laptop from my legs.

I never liked sitting like in the OP img. It just doesn't feels right. Should I force myself to do it. Buy a normal desk and an office chair?

Learn how to decompress your spine and take breaks (laying on the ground with your back flat)

Decompressing your spine is easy. Just use your desk and set your hands on it so your weight is supported by your arms, then relax your lower back.

Important to know is you don't want to set your weight down quickly once your spine is decompressed

thanks, it seems to work

Get a standing desk.

dunno man, I though that standing desks are for slightly obese people who need to just burn more calories and for 40 hours office drone job spending all their free time in front of TV or for someone who works with their hands. I'll look into it, but I'm not very enthusiastic.

well you're fucking retarded then

sitting all day fucks up your posture and strains your back and gives you tight hips. it has nothing to do with obesity

>>18000272
oh also

> anterior pelvic tilt

yeah like i said, this is from having tight hips but a weaker core/glutes

you know, from sitting around all day

Last time I checked I could deadlift slightly over twice my body weight.

I mean, I do have quite strong core, but I also have stronger other parts of my body which creates imbalances.

At the end you convinced me to get a standing desk.

Goodbye sperm!

Even lifters can have bad posture. Like you said, it's a matter of imbalance.

Bottom line: sitting is nothing but bad for you. I'm trying to fix my posture myself and I figured out this is the main thing wrong with my habits
