100% weight on one leg means: even if the other leg is making contact with the ground, if you were to lift leg slightly so there's no ground contact, your body would not move, no shifting of weight occurs because you're already 100% body weight supported on other leg.
70%/30% split: Each leg weights about 30% of your body weight. So 70/30 split means most of your weight supported on one leg, the other leg supports its own weight. But if you were to lift the 30% leg off the ground and hold, your body position would have to shift.
