Ribcage Stabilization #2 corresponds to which exercise?

• A. Arm Press
• B. Lateral Reach
• C. Reverse Curl
• D. Trice Reach

Answer: (C)

Ribcage stabilization focuses on bracing the torso so the ribs stay level and close to the spine as you move, keeping the spine in a neutral position. In the Reverse Curl, you maintain that brace throughout the movement, pulling the ribcage toward the spine and keeping the torso steady while you initiate the curl from the core and pelvis. This combination—strong abdominal engagement with controlled spinal movement—is exactly what this stabilization cue targets, which is why it fits best. The other options involve arm work or lateral shifts that don’t emphasize maintaining a braced ribcage as the primary focus.
