Which spring modification is noted for Front Splits and Back Splits?

• A. Change to 2 med
• B. Change to 1 med or 1 lt
• C. Change to 3 med
• D. No change

Answer: (A)

In these split movements, you want more balanced load and stability as you lengthen the legs. Using two medium springs increases the total resistance while keeping the force evenly distributed across the carriage, which helps you maintain neutral spine and pelvis and control the movement as you extend the legs. This added yet balanced load supports the hip and core engagement you need without overloading or underloading the movement. A single medium spring wouldn’t provide enough resistance to train the stabilizers effectively, while three medium springs would be too challenging and could disrupt form or range. Leaving the setup unchanged wouldn’t reflect the recommended upgrade for these variations.
