what seat setting should a 5'11 gentleman use on the optima series chest press

I.E. the chest press machine in the 30 minute express workout room at planet fitness. It is the optima series chest press. I don't know which height setting to put the seat to. What would a 5'11 gentleman use for the seat height setting? 5?

have you considered moving the seat to different heights until you find the optimal one?

i'm asking someone who knows that they're doing. there is a proper height that you're supposed to have it at, the manual says the handlebars should be at "mid-chest" but i don't know where that is

put the handles at nipple level and you'll be fine
