As he's pulling on the bar, she's rolling down. So we're alternating the movement of our spine from flection into extension, forward rounded back bend.

Allow your knees to soften and go into this full on extension. Let's call that position to go back to one, lift the bar up and come forward. And with that, you start to probably feel your lower back opening a little bit. And at the same time you push your feet into the Poles as if you were to lift your seed by a millimeter off the mat. At that place where you get stuck, I want you to pull with both arms on the bar as if you're trying to yank it out of the Cadillac.

The second one is Mary's going to roll herself back as if she wants to lie down on her back, curling back until the bar holds her in place. Let's refer to this as position number one for push through. At this point, your knees can be slightly soft to really allow the back to be fully extended and to allow for Nice fold at the hip creases as well. Go ahead and extend your arms up and forward and try to get the bars close to the top of the Cadillac Tower as you possibly can.

And the way I like to teach push through is to first get really clear on the type of energy you want to put into the bar and into your body, how to position yourself as well as the sensation you're after. So we're going to take a look at the push through first for that, she's going to have her legs against the Poles, her hands on the bar at about shoulder distance. And at the same time, the spring tension is usually both supportive and restrictive within the same exercise. That for the body means that we have to dynamically adjust on how we receive the load. Whereas on this one we have a semicircular motion. One of the things I find interesting when working with it is that unlike most pieces of apparatus that we work with employees, there's a very predictable trajectory forward and back up and down. And we're going to start with the push through exercise, which is what gave this bar its name. Uh, we're working on a balanced body Cadillac with a heavy spring and rots spring, I believe.

Hi, I'm Benjamin and I'm here with Mary and we're going to take a look at the push through bar and the various ways that we use it in the original work.
