Leaves less weight on your hands.
Stand up and then crouch in a rider's position. Feel how the weight moves rearward?
It is the only thing that has worked for me.
I read it in a fit article on Peter White Cvcles website.
And here it is:

Too much weight on your hands? Move the saddle back, and probably down just a bit if you want to keep the same distance from the pedals. Then adjust your bar position to obtain the hip angle you want. To keep the same hip angle you'll have to move the bars up and back towards the saddle.
If your hands are numb for other reasons - padded gloves might help. IMO the ones Spenco makes are the best, and all PsOS with the moniker "gel" are fighting for the worst.
