Landmine Push Press (alternating) Overview

The landmine push press (alternating) is a shoulder-focused workout that utilizes the landmine attachment.

The landmine provides stability and allows for a more controlled and targeted movement, primarily engaging the shoulders.

By alternating arms, the workout helps to develop shoulder strength and stability on both sides equally.

While the landmine push press also involves the triceps and core, its main emphasis is on the shoulders.

  5. Push through your heels and explosively extend your legs, driving the barbell overhead.

Landmine Push Press (alternating) Tips

  1. Start by standing with your feet shoulder-width apart, grasping the landmine bar with both hands, palms facing inward towards your chest. This exercise primarily targets your shoulders, so make sure to engage them right from the start.
  2. Bend your knees slightly and initiate the movement by pushing the barbell upward explosively, extending your arms fully. Remember to keep your core tight and maintain a straight posture throughout the exercise. This will help you generate power and stability, preventing any unnecessary strain on your shoulders.
  3. As you press the barbell overhead, focus on actively engaging your shoulders by squeezing your shoulder blades together and driving your arms upward. This will not only enhance your shoulder strength but also improve your overall upper body stability and control.
  4. Once you reach the top position, pause briefly and then lower the barbell back down to the starting position in a controlled manner. Avoid letting the weight drop too quickly, as this can lead to loss of form and potential injury. Maintaining control throughout the entire range of motion is key to maximizing the benefits of this exercise.
  5. Remember to breathe throughout the movement, inhaling as you lower the barbell and exhaling forcefully as you push it overhead. This controlled breathing pattern will help you maintain focus and stability, allowing you to perform the exercise with precision and intensity.
