Icequeen:

--- Quote from: Pyraxis on November 05, 2017, 07:49:04 PM ---I have the chest freezer. First time ever to have one, my family never did. Haven't turned it on yet because I figure I should decide what to substantially fill it with first. It wasn't listed on the house offer but I got them to add it.

I love mine, you can cook double when you feel like cooking and freeze for the days when you don't feel like cooking...throw a couple of bags of ice in it until you get it filled to capacity.

Pyraxis:
Oh that's a good idea. Ice is cheap and easy.

This is gonna make you very happy-

Any particular brand or models you recommend?

Have been doing strengthening exercises for my shoulders and back, and am at a point where I'm much less concerned about fucking them up from using a posture corrector for a couple of hours every day.  I've made quite a bit of progress doing that + stretching and I'm circling back to the question of what else I can do for faster results; thinking the increased body awareness might not be a bad idea at this point.

Jack:
The ones I used were simple and lightweight, and looked similar to this. It doesn't look like much, but a couple of hours may be a lofty goal in the beginning. Personally took at least six months to be able to wear it a full workday, maybe nine months or more to wear it all day. Driving was the worst. It was about twenty years ago, so may not be remembering the timeline well. Though do recall it was about a year before believing my subconscious was adapted and it was no longer needed.

How about this?  https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071FJ2N5R/?coliid=I3W2W7WSE62IYP&colid=27NPQALPY7EMT

I believe the current understanding of how to best use them (if you're using them to correct posture, rather than to rehab from an injury, anyway) is to max out at a couple of hours a day to get the muscle memory in there and to otherwise do the kinds of strengthening and stretching I'm already doing, so you're not over-reliant on the brace.  Thought was initially to just wear it in the morning while on the computer and see what that does.
