STANDING DESKS

STANDING DESKS.....

DO I NEED ONE??????

That picture is inaccurate, he should be slouching a lot more at the end.

>STANDING DESKS.....
You mean a high table

Idk would be cool too have

true

youd just end up resting your elbows on the desk worse than when youre sitting. those desks are pure fuckin meme and cost way too much

enjoy an early death

No, just exercise. No other way around it.

>Implying living as an old person is worth it

>he doesn't program in perpetual half-squat

I don't understand, is this from decreased bloodflow or what? It never actually says why sitting makes you die sooner.

Exactly and also air causes cancer so

those with shitty desk jobs are more likely to hate the world kill themselves bringing the stat in aggregate down

Excessive of either sitting or standing is bad, so if you can't get a setup that allows you to do both don't bother. But otherwise they are pretty nice, have had one for a couple years and it's pretty convenient to be able to just walk up to it and use it. Also find that it gets me to walk around more which is nice.

have one at work and at home, i quite like it. i stand for most of the day.

>he doesn't do squat sets in between his programming

fuck :(

sometimes when i stand up after hours my calves feel very weird

its happening isnt it

superior desk coming true. It's from the author of Tsugumomo.

>roll your chair back
>break your skull

Just standing doesn't cut it.

you're probably starting to form varicose veins user...

If you look closely you can see that the wheels have been removed entirely from that chair

do you have the reflexes of a slothful? are you so dull that someone can fuck you in the ass and you won't react until he cum on you?

Second stance for fit results.

It's called needing to keep the lights on at your school's university so we're gonna come out with hundreds of conflicting researches to keep that grant money flowing. Seriously a lot of science is trash now coming out of the western world.

Bed desk is better IMO

Nah, standing in one spot is fucking awful. Get a treadmill desk.

>your school's university
Doesn't sound like you've ever been to either one.

>half-squat
>half-program
>shitting without going afk
>peak pajeet efficiency
Soon all Microsoft employees will have these based 2/3 height desks.

>dat nerd neck
Yeah, looks like a great setup.

>mfw I switch majors just to avoid a life of sitting around.
I feared stuck getting behind some desk as a mechanical engineer, so I thankfully switched to Civil where I could at least become a surveyor at least.

I'm considering buying a standing desk, but I'm not sure I want to deal with them all being unstable as fuck.

I just use a box to put my keyboard on top of when I want to work while standing. I turn my PC tower from horizontal and seat my monitor on top so it's at eye level.

No way would I get one of those shitty meme hand cranked standing desks. The hydraulic ones where you can pull it up and down and lock it in place are pretty sweet though, I'd definitely get one if I cared to drop a grand to get a nice one.

to make truly good porn you must go the extra distance

>Not building your own desk

i have an adjustable desk like the OP's pic and this all-or-nothing bullshit is retarded. if you sit at a desk, go for a 5 minute walk every hour or so. go to the bathroom or get some water or something. that's it.

i'm a grad student and even though i nominally spend all day in my office my activity tracker still finds me getting some walking in basically throughout the day. just don't be obstinately sedentary.

as for OP, get one if you want, but if the choice is between a good chair and an adjustable desk (as in, mutually exclusive/finite resources that you have to spread optimally), get a good chair. having a standing desk is convenient but a good chair trumps it.

honestly, the standing feature is mostly great for avoiding a post-lunch lethargy (not sure why) and for when undergrads working in my group need help and bring their laptops (we only have enough chairs for the students in the given office, and standing configuration encourages people to get their shit resolved and leave anyway)

if you do work that's intellectual in nature (e.g. programming or something), chances are your time would be better spent actually working. if you have such extreme ~special needs~ that no mass produced desk satisfies you, then hire a professional to make it for you. the time you spend *not* doing any woodworking and shit will be better spent doing work you get paid for.

good post thanks : )

The human metabolism is wired to walking ten miles per day every day. Plain walking activates a bit over half your muscle tissue while it kneads your intestines so they do their job at all.
If you're a /fit/ person, I suggest the Amish Diet. Eat anything you want, walk anywhere you need to go.

You mean the powerpoopposition

>yes goy, you don't need a comfy desk job, you'll live longer

So if I sit more I can be comfortable and die early? There's literally no downside.

>some component fails
>all that hardware hits the deck

>thinking living longer = more work
>thinking dying early = having a healthy life then dying suddenly like in the movies

Cheaper than smoking but with the same results, I'll take it.

That's a pretty trashy reason given how versatile both fields are

>sample size of 43
o i am laffin

>43 studies

how many studies do you need to convince you of the same thing being repeated over & over? are is your reading comprehension that bad?

This, except I didn't realize that sitting down all day is shit until I worked for a few years.

Looks like my only choices are standing desk or career change.

I like to be comfortable when working, so a chair please.

Treadmill master race.

imagine the sound that machine makes, hour after hour. You're trying to troubleshoot a problem next table and some fat fuck is slouching a heavy step at a time till early death

Those are horrible for productivity unless you walk at a snail's pace.

I knew I recognized that beautiful man from behind
