Cube standing up or sitting down?

[Lotsofsloths]

I stand up, gives me more light.

 

[Lofty]

I have never done it standing up before...

Sitting is more comfortable, and eases my nerves.

 

[Tim Reynolds]

I stand during competitions but without any real reason for doing so, but at home I practice sitting down since there's no room to stand and since my desk is too low. I guess I'm less afraid that my arms will accidentally hit the stackmat or something, but that doesn't really happen when I do cube sitting down.

i practise sitting. so i sit in competition. I also try to use Gen 2 (? earlier generation with no save feature) during competitions because i used to just have one of those at home and the green light comes on a couple milliseconds quicker than the new gen 3 .

 

[Jason Baum]

I usually practice while sitting, but I almost always stand in competition. I actually tried sitting down at my last competition (VA Open) and didn't really like it. So, I'm probably going to stand exclusively at competition from now on.

 

[Dyste]

It doesn't really bother me doing it either way, but sitting down is definitely more comfortable.

 

[alltooamorous]

At home I usually sit, easier to hit timer and I can see the color more clearly (more light). I occasionally solve standing up, but I don't usually solve more than twice that way. At competitions the allow you to choose whatever right?

Sitting: 3x3, 4x4, 3x3 OH
Standing: 5x5

I voted for either.

 

[Lotsofsloths]

Rama, seems like you would wanna go the other way around, 5x5 takes the longest, so you might get tired of standing..

anyway, I like standing that way you get to SLAM down the cube

Nah, sitting makes me relaxed and standing gives me the ''killer-instinct''.

 

[Lotsofsloths]

lol, whatever is best for you xD

 

[slncuber21]

i could care less but sitting makes me less nervous if im doing around a bunch of people, but if i do it standing, it wouldnt really make a difference

 

[keemy]

i usually sit at home because i would get tired of standing but i always stand at comp (except once for OH a chair was already there and i sucked at the time so yeh)

 

[Dene]

I have tried standing once, and at the time broke my record. I think it would be good, but my keyboard is too low to stand. As soon as I get the proper timer, I will change to standing. I vote for standing on this basis...

 

[Pedro]

at home I sit down, as I cube at the computer...

in competition (I've only been to 2 of them, but...) I stand up...but for BLD I sat down...makes me more relaxed, I think...
I may try to sit down for 3x3, as I need a more relaxed feel for that...and OH...

for the big cubes I prefer to stand up, as I need more attention and "stress"

 

[Harris Chan]

A lot of the WR is set while sitting down xD

Besides, if there's a skip, it'll take you longer to stop the timer when you're standing than if you were sitting down

When I stand while doing a solve (especially when it's those cube tables), I'll bend my back and my neck. Which, doesn't look so good, plus it kind of makes me tensed. Sitting down pwns.

 

[povatix]

At competitions, don't they make you either sit down or stand up? For example all the footage of the world championships that I have seen show the contestants standing up.

 

[edd5190]

I'm pretty short, being 10, so in competitions I prefer standing so I feel less tiny At home, my desk is kinda unstable so I sit down.

 

[Swordsman Kirby]

I've always done it sitting down.
