Anyone use standing desk much? I used to but have been lazy lately. Just re-arrange today for standing use again. In the past my lower back would ache after extended standing, especially in the beginning before the muscles set. This time I'd like to have a tall stool to lean my lazy butt upon from time to time.

I'm thinking something relatively austere and uncomfortable, like a plain round swivel stool, is the way to go, so as not to settle in and get mushy. Would that be right minded thinking?

Something like this perhaps?

I have used a standing desk for years and have never used a chair.

I say go all in. You'll be tired at first, but without a stool or chair, you'll be less likely to backslide.

I do something similar and use a wire shelving unit and an old fashioned 4-legged stool I got at Target w/an added pad on it. Stool is comfortable enough to sit on a bit and uncomfortable enough to make me stand up much of the time.

I have a tall stool with my standing desk, but rarely use it. If I sit when I work, I tend to sit on the stability ball and not at the standing desk, of course.

My training partner is an engineer who does a lot of circuit board work on the microscope and had a really hard transition for like 2 weeks but then a ton of little niggling injuries just disappeared and his throws went way up.

And probably more comfortable with a single point sling.

If you want to sling in, fine. Just don't attach it to the floor and over complicate things.

What does starting the sauce have to do with the over-the-hill OPs inability to stand up without aches and pains??

he was fully juiced beforehand. i think the standing helped with some back issues not addressed by GH.

What size round should the table be able to stop? Firing ports?

Well it's a table; plenty of support. Go all in with a .50 cal Barrett. If you got he money and live the right state, go for the Ma Deuce, m-60, or Mg42. Mounted on a tripod with a nice T&E. Sand bag bunker fighting position is a must. Fire off an e-mail and then kill the mail man a thousand meters down the road. Get the family involved doing farmer carry's running resupply runs to your stand up desk/ bunker you with .50 cal or 7.62 or 8mm ammo cans.

Your back will thank ou for it.

I use a stool from IKEA at home. I don't know how "comfortable" is it but it looks fine and does the job. I toss stuff on it when I get home, something you couldn't do with a swivel stool.

I think you are going to need back support get a dance pole and lean against it. No sitting

Barstool!

My old man uses a standing desk and has for years AKA as a drafting table. He has a bar stool and goes between standing and sitting and always paces while on the phone.
