im having some intense back pain when im djing for over 2 hours. i have to sit a little bit and sometimes take an advil. what do you guys recomend. possably lower/ lift my table? |

Definitely position your equipment to what is most comfortable for you. There definitely should be no "intense back pain" when DJing just for two hours.
Should be similar to using a standing desk, your back should be straight. Look up "ergonomics" on standing desks.
Are you hunched over? If so raise it up! Raise the roof! |

Decks should be about the height of a bar, if they are not you can't be hunched over it for 2 hours :)
Consider yourself lucky you don't have to haul 45 pounds (20 kilos) of vinyl around as well these days :) |

Yea.. It sounds like you either have back problems or your decks are far too low.
On a side note... Has anyone ever tried DJing sat down? What a dull experience it is haa |

I used to do it sat on the floor years ago when i didn't have a table to put my decks on, very strange feeling indeed! |

You should probably do some stretching exercises before, or maybe yoga lol. I know it sounds odd but I think it will help.
And I know someone who would DJ while sitting in a chair. Yes it's a dull experience but he's like 6'5" and it is a killer on his back to stand everywhere he DJs. |

Definitely sounds like you need a higher desk. |

I am really tall, so i can sometimes get back ache on the decks. |
