Cable Pallof Press
Stand side-on to a cable pulley set at chest height and grip the handle with both hands at the center of your chest. Step away to create tension and set your feet shoulder-width with your core braced and hips square. Press the handle straight out in front of you, resisting the cable's pull that tries to rotate your torso toward the machine. Hold briefly with arms extended, then return to your chest under control, keeping your spine neutral the whole time.
