Panther

Spring Load:

- 0 white springs (challenging)

- 1 white spring (standard)

- 2 white springs (modification)

Panther Setup:

- Begin by holding the side of the front platform with your hands (thumbs on top and four fingers on the side underneath)

- Place your toes on the first white line of the carriage with your legs and feet together

- Have a slight bend in your elbow and lift your hips to table top to hold a push-up position

Panther Execution:

- Breathe in through your nose as you begin to bend your knees under your hips (keeping your hips in line with your shoulders)

- Exhale through your lips as you straighten your legs to push the carriage back

Important Notes:

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

- Keep your hips in line with your shoulders (never letting them be higher or lower than shoulders)

- Your arms remain straight with a slight bend in your elbow the whole time.
