Barbell Landmine Press
The landmine chest press uses an angled barbell path that is easier on the shoulders than a traditional overhead press while still loading the upper chest heavily. It is performed standing with one or both hands on the end of a barbell anchored in a corner or landmine attachment.
How to Perform
Anchor one end of a barbell in a landmine attachment or corner, load the other end.
Hold the loaded end at chest height with both hands cupped around the sleeve.
Press the bar up and forward at a roughly 45-degree angle until arms are fully extended.
Lower the bar back to your chest with control, keeping your core braced.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Leaning too far forward and using body momentum instead of pressing with the chest.
Not bracing the core, which lets the lower back arch excessively under load.
Gripping the bar too tightly with just the fingertips instead of cupping the end securely.
