I sit like the second picture to keep my back from hurting. Remember kids, just because you CAN lift that person that weighs more than you you SHOULDN’T lift that person

If you usually wear belts and you have back pain maybe you could start from that. Better the annoyance of your pants not staying in place than the back pain.

I once had someone at a party tell me “I can tell you’re in IT because of how you sit.” I didn’t think I was sitting weird.

My back has rarely hurt through my life. Only recently after working as a kitchen aid in my second job have I started feeling any at all. Now my knees are a different story. I’ve had bad knees since I was 12.

tbf, almost every single chair out there is wildly un-ergonomic. Whoever came up with all that 90 degree “perfect posture” bullshit must be exhumed, revived and then executed again. Just get yourself a laptop and work from bed if you can, otherwise, get a recliner that can go back at least 45°, find your comfortable angle, then plan the rest of the setup around that.

I take offense at that. My chair doesn’t look that comfortable. It also sounds like a Nazgûl when I sit on it.

I sit like this and have no pain… I also climb 3 times a week, which, accoiding to my informal survey, helps inmensly with back pain.

I used to sit weirdly too but it was never a problem. I would guess the main problem for people with pain is lack of any exercise. It seems some people don’t even walk anymore, they use those electric boards to move. No surprise their body becomes crap.

Sitting weird is good so long as you keep altering your position. It’s sitting still in the same position for a long time that is the worst. I can’t sit still either way, thanks ADHD :) Squats and deadlifts, other back exercises and running can compensate for hours of sitting (at least in terms of back issues). The technique has to be right though or it can make things worse.

The problem is the chair.
