Pallof Pull

Video coming soon...

The Pallof pull workout is designed to primarily engage the obliques.

The machine used in this workout is the Pallof press machine.

It involves performing a pulling motion against resistance, targeting the oblique muscles.

While other muscles may be activated, the focus is on strengthening and stabilizing the obliques.

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and grasp the handles of a cable machine at chest height.
Step away from the machine until the cable is taut and your arms are fully extended in front of you.
Engage your core muscles by pulling your belly button towards your spine.
Keep your feet planted and your body stable as you exhale and rotate away from the machine, bringing the handles towards your chest.
Pause for a moment, feeling the contraction in your core muscles.
Inhale and slowly return to the starting position, maintaining control and resisting the pull of the cable.
Repeat the exercise for the desired number of repetitions.

Position yourself in front of the Pallof pull machine, standing with your feet shoulder-width apart and knees slightly bent. Hold the handle with both hands, palms facing inward, and bring it close to your chest, keeping your elbows bent.
Engage your core by drawing your belly button in towards your spine. Imagine creating a strong, stable foundation from which to perform the exercise. This will help you maintain proper form and prevent any unnecessary strain on your lower back.
As you exhale, extend your arms straight out in front of you, maintaining a slight bend in your elbows. Keep your shoulders down and away from your ears, focusing on the sensation of your obliques contracting as they work to resist the rotational force.
Hold the extended position for a moment, feeling the tension in your obliques. Visualize your waistline tightening and imagine the muscles working hard to keep your torso stable. This is where the magic happens, as you build strength and definition in your obliques.
Slowly bring the handle back towards your chest, inhaling as you do so. Maintain control throughout the movement, avoiding any jerky or sudden motions. Remember, it’s the quality of the exercise that matters most, not the quantity. Focus on the mind-muscle connection and really feel the engagement in your obli
