Which sequence includes Arm Press, Reverse Curl, Tricep Reach, and Lateral Reach?

• A. Spine Stabilization Series II
• B. Ribcage Stabilization Series
• C. Pelvic Stabilization Series
• D. Back Extension Series

Answer: (B)

The sequence is testing how to keep the ribcage stable while moving the arms on the reformer. Arm Press, Reverse Curl, Tricep Reach, and Lateral Reach all focus on maintaining thoracic neutrality and a controlled shoulder girdle as you push, curl, and reach. That emphasis—stabilizing the ribcage and scapular area during arm work—defines the Ribcage Stabilization Series. In contrast, other series prioritize different goals: Spine Stabilization II centers on keeping the spine length and alignment during movements; Pelvic Stabilization concentrates on controlling the pelvis and lower core; Back Extension Series trains the spine’s posterior chain through extension. So the best fit for these upper‑body arm movements performed with ribcage control is the Ribcage Stabilization Series.
