So I have been kicking it cowboy style lol.
I will work on that. First my bike was too small feeling. I can almost flat foot if my seat isn't up very high. I leaned cowboy style when expanding my seat post so my legs can fully stretch out while pedaling.

As to the bike sizing, I understand that bikes have a dishonest or inconsistent sizing techniques. I did read that. Is there a more simple guideline?
