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.
Your posture muscles are mostly around the thoracic spine but are quite complicated. The weight of your head, and shape of your torso have a big impact on how much strain is placed on the muscles that enable posture. The heavier you are up high, the harder posture will likely be. Most people don’t really notice it very much.
In other words, it is mostly muscular endurance and weight.
Ya dont. Bleachers suck.
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.
