I recently opted for a new Osprey Atmos 50 pack. I have been tinkering around with loading configurations and I'm having trouble with the frame contorting. The frame really impedes with loading compression sacks(I use one for clothes and one for food). My gear weight is extremely minimal, around 26 lbs and that includes 7 days of food so I don't think I'm stressing the frame. It just the bulk of the gear pressing down on the two frame members.

Can any of you veteran owners suggest a loading configuration that won't leave the frame misshapen and one in which optimizes comfort? If you can recommend a particular kind of compression sack or even how you would load your gear. Thanks!
