Pallof Press Level 1

Pallof Press Level 1

Position yourself at a distance from the band anchor point so that the band resistance is significant in the starting position for the Pallof Press Level 1. A key to success is anti rotation meaning not letting the band pull the torso out of the proper position perpendicular to the anchor point of the band. Appropriate bands that will not tear are necessary for this exercise. Typical resistance cores are not appropriate for this movement.
