What is the starting springload for Ribcage Stabilization?

• A. About 1.5-2 springs.
• B. 2-3 springs
• C. 1-1.5 springs
• D. 3-4 springs

Answer: (A)

Starting springload for Ribcage Stabilization should be about 1.5–2 springs. This moderate resistance lets you actively engage the deep core muscles and keep the ribcage and thoracic spine in neutral while you coordinate breathing with movement. Too little resistance won’t challenge the stabilizers; too much can pull the ribcage and shoulders out of alignment or hinder diaphragmatic breathing. This range provides a sweet spot for learning and maintaining proper form before increasing load as you progress.
