What is the best computer chair for a 6'4" 220lb man who likes to lean back very far and always breaks chairs this way?

>leaning back in chairs

I recommend a good solid mattress for your 'computing'.

Also just get something made outta wood.

i've shilled it b4 and i'll shill it again

steelcase leap v2 (or anything made by Steelcase really). this chair has been the single best investment in furniture i've ever made. there's a knob on the side that adjusts a belt for lean-back tension. it goes from practically nothing which lets you lean back with ease, to needing to push back quite hard with your legs to get the back to move. it's incredibly solid and can withstand years of abuse. You'll pay a bit more than a shitty staples/ikea office chair but it's oh so worth it. You can always get one used/refurbished if you can't or don't want to afford one new and find them in excellent condition for half price. Mine still looks exactly like it does the day I got it and I've sat in it quite a lot.

I've never shilled it and I never will, thanks to having bought one and realized that it's shit. It's a meme. A meme pushed by gawker's lifehacker into convincing you to buy a $600 chair. It's big and heavy which makes in uncomfortable. But it's still made out of plastic which means that it rattles like a knock-off movie prop. Did I mention that it's also ugly? At least a knock-off herman miller will brighten your office a little more. A chair is a chair is a chair. Better to pay $40 every six months and it'll still last 5 years before it meets the cost of one of these meme chairs.

Strength training and cardio training have both been shown to increase life expectancy, health outcomes etc.

If you do no lifting, you would probably benefit from it. Similarly if one does no cardio, one would probably benefit from it. Now that I do both, I can't imagine doing one without the other. Cardio helps me get through a workout and focus on my muscles, not how tired I am. Lifting lets me run a faster 5k than people who have been training much longer (although I doubt it helps with longer distances).

Also 6'4 220lbs doesn't sound too bad. I'm 5'7 180lb and a bit chubby.
