Any meds students here? I bought this, why did the manual say

If you want good posture you should probably consider working out to complement that thing, whatever it is.

t. not a med student

How does /sci/ keep their posture decent? I can't study without slouching over the book in a comfortable position, and it doesn't help that I spend a lot of time on the computer as well. How often do you work out and is it intensive?

>>8551966
Get a better chair

>>8551966
A lot of us don't slough over a book I don't think

>>8551952
Source?

I think I want to buy one too

>>8552331
It's an orthopedic belt for back, look it up from there. I bought it from a clinic.

>>8551952
isn't that shit pretty counterproductive in the long run because your back muscles don't work and so get weaker instead of stronger?

you definitely need exercise along with it

>>8552433
Is doing stretching, pushups, squats and situps enough? I just want to be able to sit and stand straight without fucking dying from exhaustion.

You're never going to have better computer posture unless your setup is ergonomic.

That means proper chair height, keyboard height, armrest height, monitor height, more or less

what about walking ?

>>8553490
That's probably even better.

>>8553490
That's probably even better.

I actually know a guy who doesn't have a chair. It's his method of not 'overusing' a pc.

>>8551966
Deadlifts

>>8551952
Stretch your pecs daily and do pull-ups.

>>8552458
More pullups, less pushups.

>>8553510
Holy shit

The future is slouching in tiny cubicles, dont fight evolution OP, humans are changing.

>>8553611
this guy knows what's up

>>8551966
diddylifts, squats, presses and rows

I go bouldering. I've had a bad back for quite a long time because of an old injury, and it plays up every now and then because I sit a lot for work. Since I've started going bouldering, it hasn't bothered me anymore. My back feels amazing all the fucking time. Plus, bouldering is fun as hell.

I've read that if you have scoliosis you can't do any vertical strength exercises, but how the fuck do I ignore pull-ups?! How in the fucking hell NOT doing exercises for back strength is better for your back than FUCKING DOING THEM?!

So much bullshit around this thing and so little seems to be known I don't know who to believe.

>>8554371
Same for bridge and handstand push-ups.

just stand up straight on your own. i've been doing it for 25 years, no back pain

>>8554441
I die from exhaustion. I can't do it.

>>8554441
> just regenerate whatever damage you have and ignore the laws of physics
Thanks.
Autistic fucking moron.

>>8554531
Do it until you feel like you'll die from exhaustion, at least once a day. Try to last longer and longer. Simple but hard

>>8554531
Go to the gym and do reverse hyperextensions until they become easy as fuck, then do them while holding a 45lb plate

>>8554724
But anon how do I concentrate on whatever the fuck I'm doing when I have to use so much strength on sitting and standing straight?

>>8554735
Use whatever you're doing as a distraction from the workout burn. Or just keep making excuses and being a little bitch and
>never improve

>>8554778
How the fuck am I supposed to study material that is hard even without distractions?
