Cable Split Stance Horizontal Pallof Press
The cable Pallof press from a split stance; the narrow base asks the hips to stay square while the arms press straight out.
How to do it
Setup
Split stance side-on to a chest-high pulley, back heel up, the handle held at the sternum.
Steps
- Press the handle forward until the arms are long.
- Hold the press with the hips square to the front.
- Return the handle to the chest; switch feet next set.
Common mistakes
Feet on one line: set them hip-width apart front to back. Back hip rotating toward the stack: squeeze that glute. Arms drifting toward the pulley: press straight out from the sternum.
Breathing
Exhale on the press-out, inhale returning.
