The cable vertical Pallof press is a very functional movement whereas the muscle-building benefits are secondary. Your body has to stabilize the resistance during the exercise and therefore, you develop core strength. Cables are a great training tool because they keep constant tension on the target muscles and they also allow for a freer range of movement than with machines.
