Deskposture

Your head weighs 12 lbs. When it slides forward ("Tech Neck"), the load on your muscles doubles for every inch. At 3 inches forward, your neck is holding 42 lbs of torque.

You are not just "slouching"; you are plastically deforming your chassis. After 20 minutes of static loading, your tissues fatigue and lose the ability to snap your spine back into neutral.

You don't have "weak glutes." You have a broken Feedback Loop. Your tight hips (from sitting) are sending a jamming signal that cuts the power to your glutes.

You cannot fix the neck without untwisting the hips. Tight hips tilt the pelvis, which forces the back to round and the neck to jut out to keep your eyes level.

Slouching costs zero calories because you hang on ligaments. Good posture costs energy. Your body isn't lazy; it is efficient. We must build high-voltage core tension to plug the leak.

Your chair's backrest is doing the work your spine muscles used to do. Since those muscles are "unemployed," your body is deleting them. You are experiencing structural collapse.

By the time a pain signal is loud enough to be heard over the "neural static" of sitting, the damage is already acute.

You go to the gym at 6 PM, but your body thinks it is still in the chair. You cannot simply "switch" modes; you are suffering from the history of the last 8 hours.

You are fighting physics. If your monitor is too low, gravity will pull your head down. No amount of willpower can defeat a bad interface for 8 hours a day.

"Perfect Posture" is a myth if it means being frozen. The spine needs oscillation to feed your discs. Sitting "perfectly still" is actually starving your joints.
