HALF KNEEL PALLOF PRESS

This exercise is used to build anti-rotation stability through the spine. This exercise can be done with a band or cable pulley system.

Press your hands forward directly in front of you at roughly chest height and hold for 5-10 seconds or for 3-5 deep breaths. Keep your shoulders stacked directly above the hips and hold a upright neutral spine.
