The main support assembly includes a midsection support and a chest support slidably mounted to the midsection support for movement along the longitudinal axis relative to the midsection support. A frame may be provided, and the midsection support may be angled upward relative to the frame. The adjustable support device provides ergonomic support to a worker so that the worker is supported over the lower work area in a cantilever fashion. Related methods are disclosed.
