However you go about setting up your saddle keep in mind that adjustments to the saddle are made for your lower body and bars and stems are adjusted for your upper body. In short, don't move your saddle to fit your upper body.
This. Get a line with a weight on it and see where you are at. Gets me in the ballpark every time.
