PC bros.
How do you deal with back pain when using the PC for more than 9 hours a day?
I'm 32 now and spend 8,5 hours of my work day in front of a PC, any more time and my back starts hurting like crazy.
How do you deal with it? Any good exercises?

Makeshift setup on my bedside, I'm almost always lying down while using the PC
yoga would probably help
you're retarded.
you're supposed to take breaks. if you stay in the same position for hours on end, you will certainly develop back problems
filtered.
buy a good chair, like, a really good chair. it's night and day
get up a little every 20 minutes
Just stand up and stretch. Sounds like literally any exercise would do you good.
Yeah. I know that feel.
I deal with it by not gaming on PC.
walk for a bit every 2 hours. Also depending on your problem there are some stretching moves to do in the morning and evening.
Lift.
Doing low bar squats strengthened my back muscles and gave me support. Very quickly rectified back pain I'd been having as a sedentary 20-something.
I like how console larpers assume to play on a PC you have to be sitting in a chair. Even though that's not necessary at all

You need to strengthen your core on top of stretching and taking breaks to walk around.
start doing light abdominal/lowerback exercises and itll get better eventually
One of the key points is that there's no magic posture that will prevent back pain when sitting because a big issue that causes back pain is the sitting in the same posture for hours at a time.
Obviously postures that put more strain on your back are worse and will cause pain sooner, but one of the simple things you can do is to regularly shift your posture into different positions. As long as the position is comfortable for you then it should be fine, just give yourself some variety.
As for relief from teh pain, try doing some yoga and other stretches. Torso twists are a good one and so are cobra stretches.
buy a proper chair fitted and built for your exact frame and dimensions, obviously
it'll run into the thousands, but if you're spending 9 hours a day sitting on it then you'll pay for it in like a month anyway
By an ergonomic, comfortable chair, use it correctly. Every 20-30 minutes, get up and move around a bit.
Stretches and some strength excercises. But I have more problems in the upper back, shoulders and neck.
Just post "golem get ye gone" in one of those threads.
I'll usually work standing up every other hour or so. Sometimes go for a walk in the middle of the day which helps a lot.
Get comfortable chair and take breaks I guess
>get a proper chair
>get a proper height adjustable desk
>vesa mount your monitors to have them at a proper height
>start lifting
jack off relentlessly until the cum endorphins kill my back pain
I heard auto-fellatio fixes your spine, you could try that.
deadlifts
Funny, I was gonna link AthleanX as well.
I've been sitting on the computer for 20 years, never had backpain in my life, fix your posture.
this is a lie i have tried
Swing your legs forward and try to touch your toes while standing
Lie on back, put your leg as close to 90° as is comfortable, then try and flatten your foot/put your heal down to stretch hamstrings 15second intervals
While on back, take one leg to the other side of body and turn your upper body the other way
In general just get a stretching app on your phone it'll even remind you
>been a PC gamer since I was 13 and built my first PC
>take academics seriously, doing most my work my computer
>complete MS at university in CS, mainly in front of my computer
>work 3 years as a fullstack dev behind my computer every day for 8 hours
>take job as digitalization advisor for a company, again spend most of my time behind my computer
>go home and play video games, watch shows, movies whatever I have for 3+ hours every day
>never felt even the slightest hint of back pain except when sleeping poorly or some sort of minor accident
I do out of my way to walk to work almost every day so that may be my "secret" but I've never really gone out of my way to avoid backpains.
I got my spine removed, life is so much better now
based jelly bro
>try auto fellatio for the first time in 5 years, after gf broke up
>fuck my back so hard that I can't sit for the next week
yeah, I already learned that lesson
Get into yoga.
What back pain? I'm 31 and even if I sit at my PC for the entire fucking day I get nothing. Might be because I lift/swim/bike but then again why don't you?
I deadlift.
I heard that walking is tremendously beneficial for your back, that's probably why you're spared if your walk is around an hour a day an you do it 5 days a week.
get up every 30 minutes and do something (bathroom, glass of water, eat a snack)
make sure you set up your workstation right (elbows at 90 fucking degrees, don't slouch)
if your legs dangle from the chair get a fucking foot rest (make sure it's the right height/angle). it makes a world of difference.
you are you moron. using a computer from a couch horribly uncomfortable unless you're on controller. playing lying on bed is even worse.
