Band Horizontal Pallof Press
The Pallof press against a band anchored beside you at chest height; the band's pull grows as the arms straighten.
How to do it
Setup
Side-on to the anchor, feet hip-width, the band held at the chest in both hands, taut.
Steps
- Press the hands straight forward to long arms.
- Hold there, chest and hips facing ahead.
- Bring the hands back to the chest slowly.
Common mistakes
Standing too close to the anchor: step out until the band pulls at the chest. Chest turning toward the anchor: press straight ahead. Band snapping the hands back: return as slowly as you press.
Breathing
Exhale on the press-out, inhale returning.
