During transition from Pelvic Stabilization to Ribcage Stabilization, which sequence of steps is correct?

• A. Remove the jumpboard, place the IM=X ring between the ankles, and ignore the handles for Arm Press.
• B. Give handles for Arm Press, take the IM=X ring and place it between the ankles, remove jumpboard, and reinsert the footbar as needed.
• C. Place IM=X ring around the neck and keep the jumpboard in place.
• D. Remove the footbar permanently and discontinue use of Arm Press.

Answer: (B)

Transitioning from pelvic stabilization to ribcage stabilization relies on rebalancing support from the lower body to the upper body while keeping the spine in a safe, neutral position. The best sequence starts by providing handles for Arm Press, so the arms and shoulders can engage without causing the pelvis to compensate. Next, place the IM=X ring between the ankles to maintain leg alignment and pelvis control as you shift emphasis upward. Then remove the jumpboard to reduce extra pelvis stability and allow the torso to stabilize with the ribcage. Finally, reinsert the footbar as needed to tailor support for the individual and the exercise. This order supports a clean shift of stabilization focus and preserves safe alignment throughout the transition.
