From Monday - Thursday, I stand 6.5 hours at work. Friday, it’s 7.5 hours, and Saturday, it’s 3.25. According to what I’ve read, anything more than 5 hours on your feet will cause significant muscle fatigue.
I went to the gym at the beginning of the month and injured my back due to back form.
At first, I blamed myself. After reassessing everything and my current situation, I blame my job.
Standing for extended periods of time puts incredible strain on your lower back and lower extremities. This is backed by science.
It’s been a month and it hasn’t gotten much better. I need help.

You ever stand somewhere doing nothing for hours on end? It gets to you after awhile.
My sole responsibility, is standing and making it look like I’m paying attention to what’s going on around me.

Originally posted by Bobby Shaw View PostNumber one problem is usually a weak core. As you get older it becomes weak and you easily hurt your back. If you haven't been working your core you need to really take it to the next level. Sit ups, crunches, back leg raises, planks etc. Of course you are injured now and you have to see your doctor who will prescribe you strong anti inlamatories and refer you to the physiotherapist. The physiotherapist will then start working your core.
