How much spring tension is ideal for side arm preps while sitting?

The ideal amount of spring tension for side arm preps while sitting is 1/4 spring. This lighter resistance allows for greater control and precision during the movement, which is essential for focusing on the upper body, especially the shoulders and arms. It ensures that practitioners can maintain proper alignment and avoid strain while performing the exercise. Using a lower spring tension also enables individuals to engage their core effectively without excessive resistance, promoting a better range of motion and facilitating a smoother execution of the movement patterns involved in the exercise.
