Bleachers have no back support. If I hunch over, my lower back hurts. If I sit up straight, my lower back is fine but my shoulders and upper back hurt.
I think this is a case of weak muscles. Don’t get me wrong it doesn’t surprise me given how many people sit on chairs and couches all day. But yeah. Start with air squats.
sitting with no back support for multiple hours, you will be in pain
Yeah. I’m going to question what sort of shape such a person is in.
I’m 53 and have no such issues. Chalk it up to being small and skinny if you will, but sitting on a bleacher shouldn’t pose a problem to the reasonably fit.
If that sort of situation hurts you, maybe reflect on your personal health? Those bouncy balls that replace office chairs are wonderful for core strength. Matter of fact, I’m going to buy another one right now. Sitting on my ass all day is not working out for me.
I do barbell back squats, I’m at 150+ lbs. Don’t think air squats will help.
You shouldn’t have pain just from sitting. Doing yoga or pilates or other strength exercises can stop this from happening.
Be young. Young folk never sore
The true bleachers experience is all about getting burnt/frozen when sitting down, then having to endure the pain of zero padding for however long you have the displeasure of sitting there.
There is nothing you can do, bleachers are designed for maximum cheapness without posing a huge safety liability, and have zero dollars put into comfort during development. Literally minmaxed to optimize for cost.
