Exercise Description

The split stance pallof press builds rock-solid core strength while fighting rotation. It teaches your abs to stay tight under pressure and improves balance.

How To

1. Set cable machine to chest height and grab handle with both hands 2. Step into split stance position with one foot forward, facing sideways to the machine 3. Hold the split stance pallof press handle at your chest and step away from machine until you feel tension 4. Press handle straight out from your chest and hold for 3-5 seconds, fighting the cable's pull 5. Pull back to chest and repeat for all reps before switching to other side for the split stance pallof press

Form Tips

• Keep your core braced tight throughout the entire split stance pallof press movement • Don't let the cable pull you toward the machine - stay centered and strong • Press the handle straight out, not up or down • Keep your shoulders square and avoid twisting during the split stance pallof press

Common Mistakes

• Letting the cable pull your body toward the machine instead of staying centered • Moving too fast through the split stance pallof press instead of holding the position • Using too much weight and losing proper form during the split stance pallof press
