Equipment
Push Through Bar
The push-through bar is a spring-loaded bar on the Cadillac used for roll-down, extension, and reaching patterns in seated and supine positions. It teaches spinal articulation with graded assistance or resistance. Exercises on this site use the bar for controlled mobility and upper-body organisation. Spring choice changes whether the bar assists flexion or challenges extension. Keep grip light and shoulders settled rather than lifting from the neck when pressing or pulling the bar.
