Are you noticing a theme here? These are all the same exercises I’ve shown you before, but with a more advanced external sensory stimulus added. The greater the challenge to stability, the more carryover to athletics. I love these exercises for a couple reasons, but mostly because they are so simple to progress.
- Start with the Pallof Press Iso-Hold (holding in the extended position).
- Progress to Pallof Press for reps (extend your arms, then bring them back to your chest, then extend, etc.)
- Progress to Pallof Press Iso-Hold with perturbation
- Progress to Pallof Press with perturbation
Simple. Effective.
NOTE: It is not necessary to have Tony Gentilcore in a tight T-shirt to perform these exercises. Any partner will do.
