The exact numbers are going to be different for different people but you do need to get it just right for you. All of my friends reload standing up. I do it sitting down. I ended up making the bench a little on the low side and put wood blocks under the press to raise it until I found the right height. I like to be high enough above the press handle to use my upper body weight when resizing .44 Magnum cases. Even with carbide dies if I have to do a large amount of "stiff" brass I use a little bit of case lube. It makes the "up" stroke much easier.
