Palms like you say except I try to balance my weight between my legs and my hands, if that makes sense. Reduced the hand strain.

Quoted from gweempose:Amen! Sometimes, when I get really into a game, I'll start leaning on my palms with more and more force. This position can be quite painful on your wrists after a while. Whenever I become conscious of it, I try to straighten up a bit and relieve some of the pressure.
Quoted from tracelifter:One foot forward the other one back about 2 feet knees bent hands lightly resting on LDB with thumbs lined up with the siderails.
I shuffle foot position.
I had to learn to stop standing feet together leaning on the bar, my wrists can't take it and if the game has magna save I can't get to the buttons fast enough with my weight on my palms and I can't slap the buttons.
If I fall back to my old style of play my wrists remind me not to do that.
Much more well articulated then I said, stance is something that takes time to get the right one for you. But once you get one it will reduce the strain on your wrists and elbows.
