Posture, screens and resting your eyes, sentence 0

Your head is heavy, about as heavy as a big bag of flour, and when you bend it far forward over a phone, your neck muscles have to hold it up like a long fishing rod, so they get sore.

Who acts: head, you, neck muscles, muscles · What happens: be, bend, have, hold up, get · To what, where: head, phone
