Press a barbell anchored at one end in a landmine or corner. The arc of the press is shoulder-friendly and unique. Shoulder-friendly pressing angle for those with overhead mobility issues. Builds pressing strength from a unique angle. Single-arm version develops core stability.

How to Do Landmine Press: Step by Step

  2. Press up and forward along the arc
  3. Core braced, don't lean back
  4. Lower with control along the same arc

Common Mistakes to Avoid
