Hi /g/
Would you rather an adjustable standing desk
or
an expensive chair like Herman Miller?
Which is better for your health?
>>
Expensive desk or expensive chair? I'd rather have the chair.

i use something similar due to my bad back.

Just sit on an upside-down bucket, is what I do.
>>
>>109733756
Just move. Take breaks, stretch, do sports. Neither sitting nor standing is ideal.
>>
Sit on the ground. Sitting/sleeping on the ground is like massaging bones, joints, ligaments, muscles all over your body for hours a day.

that looks pretty nice actually do you know what they're called

This. Get the most uncomfortable chair to make you want to get up every now and then.
>>
>>109733756
>no goyim standing up at your desk is totally healthy and not at all an additional humiliation ritual we want to inflict on you
What the actual fuck.

knee chair

Standing is worse than sitting. The real solution is to take breaks and move around.
>>
>>109733810
There are cheaper ways of torturing yourself.

>>109733873
correct from an ergonomic stand point

>>109733756
you don't need to spend thousands on Herman Millers. Get an ergonomic office chair and you're good that also leaves you enough money for an adjustable desk.
Then please adjust your chair, desk, keyboard, mouse and monitor height (most are way too high). You want your chair to move with your movements not sit still all day. If you have your muscles tensed (shoulders, arms, legs, back) in a neutral position something isn't correctly adjusted

This is the only serious answer.
>>
OP you could save yourself the trouble of asking questions and getting garbage replies by reading a book on ergonomics...

Long story short, you need both, and then rotate between sitting 30 minutes with good posture in an ergonomic chair, with standing for 15 minutes. Rotate like this continuously and also take eye breaks every 20 minutes or so. Go for a walk maybe every 1-2 hours

>>109734022
but then what about the 6 hours long CIV7 gaming sessions?
>>
>>109733756
old and busted. new thing is hang inverted and typing sideways. some kind of mission impossible setup with pulleys and actuators with ai voice command interface. future is now
>>
>>109734061
just sit 30 minutes, stand 15 minutes, and repeat for 6 hours. Not ideal, but definitely way better than what most people do on a daily basis

I have both a standing and sitting desk. Albeit, just a random ergonomic chair.

No, I won't let the sunlight in

>standing almost the same height as sitting
how small are you
>>
>>109733756
standing desks are great if you want varicose veins

>>109734515
Anon... It's not elevated in that picture. It goes up to 46.5 inches (28.3 is how tall it is without any lift)
>>
>>109734663
just answer the Anon's question, Anon
>>
Anon this anon that anon anon anon fuck off and die
>>
What is the best desk position if I want to maximize my stroke/diabetes risk?
>>
>>109733756
Check if the lowest height of the standing desk fits your optimal position, otherwise you're only going to be fine ergo wise while standing. Cheaper to make a custom desk and get a nice chair.
