Where the **** is teh September goals thread !!! - Page 3 - Small Stakes Full Ring Games

I always had back problems. During my studies, during my 9months 9to5 office job and during teh first 2 years playimg poker. In fact it got worse exponentially.
Strangly that all stopped once i got my first miller and i havent had backpain/problems while playing ever since. But most likely huge coincidence and a basic wooden chair is teh gto approach.

Cluffs: chairs r overrated

gym helps too, working out the core muscles properly will reduce back pain

I also have a wooden chair that I had even way back before BF (tried many $200+ chairs, hated each one). When I grinded before BF, I'd go to chiropractic every 2 weeks for my neck/back and I was a lazy grinder at 80k hands/mo. Can't imagine how some of you guys feel. Good luck guys.

lol i tried a standing desk once and grinded maybe 10 hours over a couple days. Was pretty awful my heals started to hurt and i was always shifting my weight around.

Having a ergonomic ( ish at least ) setup is def not overrated by any means.

I used to have a mean case of winged scapula from grinding years without doing any posture rehab. But since 2014 I've been using foam roller+ yoga on top of my gym days and I have close to 0 pain.

you do play PLO now, probably the safest spot to play that is at a psycho docs couch, so when tilt hits you are just at the right spot anyways...
smart move on your part
