    One word of advice that I just learned myself. When you sit at your
    bench your chair should be high enough to make the top of your
    thighs angle slightly down from hip to knee when flat footed. (think
    marble rolling slowly down, not fast). I have just started physical
    therapy for a lower back injury and my therapist says sitting at my
    bench which was only a few inches shorter then normal has made it
    worse.  I am getting a few bricks to put under the legs to raise it
    about 3 to 4 inches this will make you sit straighter and not strain
    the back muscles. 

my two cents, Jerry
