Landmine Press
Pressing the end of a barbell up at an angle. Shoulder-friendly mass. It works mainly the front deltoid, with help from the chest and triceps.
Flawless ranks it by lifetime volume: Gold, the third of eight ranks, starts at 25,000 kg.
How to do Landmine Press
- Set one end of the bar in a landmine holder or a corner, stand or kneel facing it with the feet about shoulder width, and hold the loaded end at your chest with both hands.
- Brace your core and press the bar up and forward along its arc until the arms are straight.
- Keep the torso upright; the bar path is diagonal, which is why this is friendlier to the shoulders than a vertical press.
- Lower with control back to the chest and repeat.
These are the same steps you see in the exercise guide in the Flawless app.
