Half-Kneeling Single-Arm Landmine Press

From one knee – the knee under the pressing arm down, the other foot forward – press the end of a landmine bar from the shoulder up and forward; the fixed hips keep the torso from turning.

How to do it

Setup

Half-kneeling in front of the landmine: the knee on the pressing side down, the other foot flat in front, both knees at right angles, hips square. The bar's end at the shoulder, core set.

Steps

  1. Press the end up and forward along the bar's arc.
  2. Let the shoulder blade glide around the ribs at the top.
  3. Return to the shoulder with control; keep the hips square the whole way.
  4. Finish the set, then switch the knee and the arm together.

Common mistakes

Leaning away from the bar to make room – stay tall over the down knee. Hips opening toward the press – squeeze the glute of the down leg. Wrong knee down – the down knee is on the pressing side.

Breathing

Exhale pressing, inhale returning.
