his theory was that this stance will allow for a more consitent zone as i will have less variation in my look since i an really locked in with the arms. it has seemed to work so far. it also prevents my chin from dropping below the top of the catcher's head.

Sounds like the GD Stance. There’s an article regarding the GD Stance (with pictures) on Officiating.com. I use this stance.
Basically it says:
Put your nose on the inside corner & keep it there.
Move only if the batter (very rarely, F2) blocks your view of F1’s release
Work an arm’s length behind F2 (or move as you adjust)
Spread your legs much wider than your shoulders.
Lean over & put both hands on your knees
Don’t push down on the shin guards
Rest your weight on your knees
Lock & tuck your elbows
Just before the time of the pitch, drop your seat about 4”
