Pallof Press With Rotation

Core · Cable

How to do it

Handle at chest height, stand side-on a couple of paces away holding it with both hands against your sternum. Press your arms out in front **resisting the twist the cable is trying to put on you**, and from there **rotate your torso away** with your arms straight; return to the middle and bring the handle back in. The press is anti-rotation and the turn is controlled rotation: one exercise trains both. The classic mistake is moving your feet on the turn; hips and feet stay planted.

Variants

The drawing shows one way of doing it, and the technique above describes that one. Almost every exercise has variants — standing or seated, the grip, the bench angle — and is still the same exercise: if you do it another way, write it in the exercise note and you will have it every time you train it.
