Field Guide 14 — Office Athlete

From desk chair to deadlift, without the fourteen-hundred-pound chair.

Desk work compresses your hips, rounds your shoulders, and quietly weakens your posterior chain, and only sustained training reverses all three. Three priorities do most of it: hip mobility daily, posterior-chain work prioritised, and hourly micro-breaks from sitting. The ergonomic-chair industry oversells hard; the best chair is the one you are not parked in for twelve hours. Susan does five minutes of mobility on every meeting break. Brad bought a 1,400-pound ergonomic chair. They have the same posture, but Brad has 1,400 fewer pounds. Written for knowledge workers, engineers, accountants, lawyers, and designers whose day is eight to twelve hours in a seat.
