variety of exercises. The Cadillac Table has one moving cross bar
or slider; between the overhead bars which slides horizontal. The
head end of the Cadillac Table holds a hinged wooden frame
called the Push-through Bar (PTB).

3. SAFETY
It is very important that the instructor is present and spotting
the client whenever the Push-through Bar is in use. The Push-
through Bar should never be used if low enough to hit a client
who is lying under it. The safety chain must always be used. The
safety chain must be adjusted so that the angle of the Push-
through Bar, when viewed from the side, is no lower than either
the four or eight o'clock position.
