Band Horizontal Pallof Press with Resistance Band Squat
A squat with a loop above the knees, pressing out a band anchored at the side; the trunk refuses to turn.
How to do it
Setup
Side-on to the anchor, a loop above the knees, the band's handle at the chest.
Steps
- Squat as the hands press the handle out.
- Keep the knees pushed out against the loop.
- Stand as the handle returns to the chest.
Common mistakes
Chest turning toward the anchor: brace and press straight ahead. Knees caving into the loop: push them out over the toes. Pressing late: the arms and the squat move together.
Breathing
Exhale pressing out, inhale drawing the handle in.
