Exercise Description

The pallof press builds core strength by fighting rotation. It teaches your abs to stay stable while outside forces try to twist your body.

How To

1. Set cable machine at chest height and grab handle with both hands 2. Step away from machine until you feel tension, hold handle at your chest 3. Press the handle straight out from your chest and hold for 10-15 seconds 4. Fight the cable trying to pull you sideways during the pallof press hold 5. Pull handle back to chest, switch sides, and repeat the pallof press movement

Form Tips

• Keep your feet shoulder-width apart and core tight throughout the pallof press • Press the handle straight out, not up or down • Don't let the cable pull your body sideways - stay centered • Hold the pallof press position steady without any wobbling or shaking

Common Mistakes

• Letting the cable twist your body instead of fighting the rotation • Moving too fast instead of holding the pallof press position • Standing too close to the machine so there's no tension in the cable
