What is the springload and reps for Pelvic Stabilization #2 Leg Press II?

• A. 2-3 springs; 5-8 reps.
• B. 5-6 springs; 20 reps.
• C. 1-2 springs; 25 reps.
• D. 3.5-4.5 springs; 10-15 reps.

Answer: (D)

Stabilizing the pelvis while performing the Leg Press II variation relies on giving the body enough resistance to engage the deep stabilizers without sacrificing form. A mid-to-high spring load provides the right challenge for the abdominal wall, pelvic floor, and hip stabilizers to brace the pelvis as you press, helping you maintain a neutral pelvic position throughout the movement. Pairing that with a moderate number of repetitions lets you practice control, breathing, and alignment long enough to train the neuromuscular patterns that keep the pelvis stable, without fatiguing the stabilizers to the point where form breaks down. If the resistance is too light, the stabilizers aren’t sufficiently challenged; if it’s too heavy or the reps are too many, technique can falter and pelvic control can suffer. This balance best supports the goal of pelvic stabilization in this exercise.
