Landmine Press
The landmine press uses a barbell anchored at one end to create an arc pressing pattern that is easier on the shoulders than standard overhead presses. It is an excellent alternative for lifters with shoulder mobility issues.
How to Perform
1
Stand at the end of a barbell that is anchored in a corner or landmine attachment.
2
Hold the end of the bar at shoulder height with one or both hands.
3
Press forward and upward along the natural arc of the barbell.
4
Lock out and control the return.
5
Can be done standing, half-kneeling, or tall-kneeling.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Standing too far from the bar, reducing range of motion.
Not pressing through the full arc.
Arching the back.
