I made my new bench very tAll, maybe 50" and then made a riser on top of that for even more height! "Sitting is the new smoking" and for progressive loading I much prefer to stand. However I also like to sit so I have a variation of heights that work for me. I'm also 6'5". If you wonder how people can load standing without hurting their backs, then your press is too low. It's really nice to have everything right at eye level. Better for my back, and my butt, to stand.
