The ULTIMATE Core Exercise | Palloff Press

The paloff press is one of the best core exercises that I have ever performed. In today's video I will break down the benefits of this exercise and how to perform it.

I’ve been researching the Pallof and this is the BEST demonstration on YT. I almost gave up in this exercise- thank you!

I just learned this from my trainer. Looks easy, but definitely challenges the core (especially with a stance that isn’t as wide).

Any cranial exercises I can do to regrow hair to be thick like yours?

[peterevans]

thanks just tried out and did 5 sets each side. I'm lready doing core strength ex's daily -anything but crunches and sit-ups.I like this one and it will be added to my routine. A resistance band looped over a door handle seems to be effective even tho its attached a little lower than described

Sit-ups- sitting up from a couch, the floor, your bed, a bath tub etc. Over done for sure but there's a place for them. I'd use the tempo 1111 for the Pallof press, you want to control the resistance coming and going out, you were going a little too quick in my opinion. 5 Sets seems a little excessive, if you're using the proper resistance 3 MAYBE 4 should suffice.

Really great in depth tutorial there. Thanks man! Will definitely add this to my "core" routine.

I think this is going to work for me. I have minor scoliosis and a rare condition that at 60, has taken away 47% of my lumbar mass from osteoporosis and I break ribs easily; I was advised to avoid traditional core exercises. I have a Bowflex and can do this kneeling. Thank you for the great technique instruction :)

I've heard that it's good to slightly bend the knees when doing the payoff press. To get into an "athletic stance." How do you feel about this and why is this important?

[zerothehero]

Great stuff blake! Just wanted to say one thing though and that is that if you're a mma fighter/ grappler you will indeed need to be able to powerfully flex from the spine, so some form of sit up like ab exercise will be necessary.

Thanks Blake on how to do the exercise!

Your videos really help me with injuries

[chrishouseley]

Any ideas how i can do this with tube resistance bands? Can't knot it, nor can i grab only one end/handle & somehow keep the other by the door 😕

[celesterosales]

Great, thanks! Definitely adding this one!

[kjones]

That was the most informative video ! Subscriber now!!

Thanks! I'm 68 and have spinal Stenosis with two bulging hernated discs, bone spurs up and down the spine. So core exercises are not good. I'm very activebut am always looking for specific core type exercises.

[alexanderfaessler]

Great info!
Can I do this with resistance bands instead?

[MetalAzer]

Great exercise Blake, but i'm eager to know about the other top four exercises as well :)

[dj_Davepz]

Awesome work as usual Blake, I hate sit ups! Sold.

[harmandeep]

Thank you search for your lovely great tips thanks once again thanks a lot😍🙂👌👏🙏👍🙌💪🔥

I think you made a mistake in the video. When you hold with resistance coming from the left you are actively working to stop twisting to the left. Doesn't this mean your left external and right internal obliques are working.
