Single-Arm Landmine Press

Press the end of a landmine bar from the shoulder up and forward; the arc is friendlier to a stiff shoulder than a strict vertical press.

How to do it

Setup

Bar's end at the shoulder, staggered stance, core set.

Steps

  1. Press the end up and FORWARD along the bar's arc.
  2. Let the blade glide around the ribs.
  3. Return to the shoulder with control; switch.

Common mistakes

Fighting the arc for a vertical press: the diagonal IS the friendly path. Torso rotating with the press: square hips. Standing tall-and-narrow: the stagger takes the arc's push.

Breathing

Exhale pressing, inhale returning.
