    Body position when playing FFR

    Okay, this may seem like a strange thing discuss, but i would like to anyway Ive been experimenting a little with this lately.
    How do you position yourself to play your best?

    Lean back in the chair, or leaning forward to get some weight over the fingers?
    Are you having straight arms, or bended elbows?
    Are your arms resting on the table (in front of the keyboard), or do you keep them "in air" so the only contact is between the fingers and the buttons?
    Anything else worth mentioning?

    I unconsciously learn forward and hunch my shoulders when I get into really intense parts in a song.

      Feet propped on the bar under my desk(lol picture).
      I lean back, my elbows bent below the desk.... basically the ****tiest position for you.

        Here's my setup:

        -Feet propped against a wooden beam under neath the desk
        -Forearms resting on the chair's arms (Helps me keep control when vibrating to hit jacks)
        -Lean slightly forward to put momentum and weight on my fingers (Also helps me for jacks)
        -Arms level with the keyboard
        -Monitor about 6 inches above and away from the keyboard

                1. Stand up
                2. Pull down my pants.
                3. Walk to keyboard.
                Rest is self explanatory.

                No, I just lean back on my chair when I play and there's lest strain in my upper arm and wrists.

                  I sit leaning forward with my wrists on the keyboard, and I headbang unless its really intense and syncopated, and my feet usually end up underneath my chair after songs even though I start out with them in front of me...

                        i lean back on my chair and my wrists are resting on the table with bended elbows.
                        sometimes i put my knees up against the table edge and play with arms straight.

                            Sitting down in a chair in proper pose and then just slam the keys... I ocassionaly turn my screen and play one handed.

                              I put the keyboard on the floor and start stepping on it hoping I'm hitting the right keys.
