PBH, as just measured by myself, properly trying, is about 920mm. So about 36.25" out of 76.5" total. Don't know how keen I am trying it again, kinda feeling it. :/

And therein lies the rub, most people struggle with doing it properly as it is "uncomfortable" so it is often not accurate when it can be the key number in the equation.
