• Raises the shoulders tensing the muscle

Too Low

• Places you in a leaning posture
• Closes the rib cage around the lungs
• Reducing your capacity to draw oxygen that the blood needs to carry to your muscles

• Shoulders will overwork

Too Close

• Interferes with relaxed keystrokes

Too Thin Armrests

• Requires extra muscular effort to keep your arms on them
