Pallof Press

The Pallof press is an anti-rotation core exercise. You press a cable or band straight out from your chest while resisting the rotational pull, building core stability that transfers to every athletic movement.

How to Perform

1

Stand sideways to a cable machine with the handle at chest height.

2

Hold the handle at your chest with both hands.

3

Press the handle straight out in front of you — resist the pull trying to rotate you.

4

Hold the extended position for 2-3 seconds.

5

Return to your chest and repeat.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Rotating toward the cable instead of staying square.

Using too light a weight — you should feel significant rotational force.

Pressing too fast without holding the extended position.
