Bikes: too many bikes from 1967 10s (5x2)Frejus to a Sumitomo Ti/Chorus aluminum 10s (10x2), plus one non-susp mtn bike I use as my commuter

I have no idea what chart or table you're using and what the numbers are.

However, I can tell you that riding out of the saddle is a learned art. When mounting and dismounting, you have to use the pedal as a step and come well forward of the saddle to avoid having it hit you in the back.

When pedaling out of the saddle, you have to use various styles, either slightly off the saddle but still positioned as if seated, or well off and forward. Hit a bump while in between and the saddle will quickly teach you why it's not a good idea.

This isn't rocket science, and it's best to learn and adapt as part of the process of being "bike smart" than trying to apply some kind of measurement and science.
