Posture - Who's slouching right now?

[Anthrax Invasion]

How is your posture? Do you always sit upright? Do you find yourself cradling back into a chair? Do you even care if you're not keeping the normal spinal curves?

I start out sitting perfectly but degrade to slouching over time

 

[HunterUk]

You got me. Sitting up straight is an effort for me!

 

[split endz]

slouching right now... love the slouch

 

[djeclipse]

Ya, its just not cool to have good posture. Slouching in a chair makes you look cool....

 

[Anthrax Invasion]

Word, nuggas. I love to slouch. I probably shouldn't 'cause of my back, but I follow the same steps as Guinness (that bum). I sit upright for some time, but I get tired of it. This is especially true if I'm reading a book, an article online, or talking to someone for any length of time.

Why can't slouching be good for you? Stupid posture. You're going down, lumbar spine!

its hard to remember to sit upright sometimes
i have to always remind myself

<---slouching right now, as always at my desk.

 

[vin01]

I slouch only when I'm at the movies or when I'm in an extremely boring class.

when i slouch, my back hurts. i feel comfortable sitting upright.

Oly lifting has helped my poor posture a little I think.

 

[vin01]

i have to agree with the oly lifting. my back has this kind of permanent arch, which is good i geuss. i attribute it to all the overhead work i do.

stretching, otherwise, shoulder problems...

 

[Anthrax Invasion]

Wait, what CCJ? What do you mean by that?

 

[coolcolj]

well slouching over a computer/desktop/ pS2 caused my shoulders, traps, neck and pecs to tighten up ---> bad shoulder pain after a while

it doesn't happen overnight but it will eventually over a few years time...

Im slouching right now. It looks as though my neck is in my chest. It just a pain in the ass to sit up straight for a long period of time. I know a guy who did it hes like 60 now hes so hunched over. He used to be like 6ft not hes like 5'9. When i see him it reminds me to stand up straight.

 

[d-dub]

I just started sitting up straight again after reading this.

Sitting down for extended periods of time at a desk has to be one of the worst posture killers known... esp. when you are lazy like i am

 

[Anthrax Invasion]

You know what the worst is? Right now, for me. I wokeup after only three and a half hours of sleep. Do you know how hard it is to sit up straight when you're exhausted? It's impossible. I have more confidence in my ability to become the world's highest jumper.

pretty good posture most ppl think im sitting uncomfortably because im so straight

 

[DZLS]

i try to keep good posture, but tend to catch myself when i am slouching...

you gotta have the right chair / desk height to keep proper posture though...
