Band Pallof Press

Anti-rotation core exercise using a band anchored to the side. Press the band straight ahead and resist the rotation. Trains anti-rotation which is more functional than crunches. Builds the core stability needed for heavy compound lifts. Low spinal load — spine-friendly core training.

How to Do Band Pallof Press: Step by Step

  1. Anchor band at chest height to your side
  2. Hold band at chest, press straight forward
  3. Resist the pull — don't let it rotate you
  4. Return to chest with control

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Rotating toward the anchor point
  • Not bracing core hard enough
  • Standing too close to the anchor

Band Pallof Press Tips

  • The further you stand from the anchor, the harder it gets
  • Think about keeping your belly button pointing straight ahead
  • This is the gold standard anti-rotation exercise — use it before every core session
