Spring Load:

- 1 white spring (standard)

- 2 white spring (challenging)

(The below is if the target oblique was the RIGHT oblique)

Saw Setup:

- Starting at the back of the Xformer facing the front, pull the carriage in, tuck your knees against the back platform strap, and tuck your elbows in front of the back carriage strap with your palms down or up

- Swing and stack your legs off the right side of the back platform with your feet dangling off the edge

- Allow the carriage to move outwards and hold in a modified plank position on your knees with your feet off the right side of the back platform

- Slightly lift your hips and engage your core by flexing or tightening your stomach, knitting your ribs together, or bringing your belly button to your spine

Saw Execution:

- Breathe in through your nose as your forearms and hands lengthen forward

- Exhale through your lips as you slowly bend your elbows against the back carriage strap to bring the carriage in until your shoulders are over your elbows

Important Notes:

- Do not tuck your chin into your chest. Look down or down and slightly forward

- Keep your hips slightly lifted and core engaged (flex or tighten your stomach, knit your ribs together, or bring your belly button to your spine)

- Do not allow your back to arch as you move the carriage forward

- Do not bring your elbows in past your shoulders or you will lose tension
