Exercise Profile

Landmine Half Kneeling Press Overview

The landmine half kneeling press is a shoulder-focused workout that utilizes the landmine attachment.

By kneeling on one knee and pressing the landmine overhead, the shoulders are targeted directly.

This exercise helps to build shoulder strength and stability, improving overhead pressing movements.

While the landmine press also engages the core and lower body, its primary focus is the shoulders.

Landmine Half Kneeling Press Instructions

  1. Stand with your feet hip-width apart and your knees slightly bent.
  2. Hold the landmine bar with an overhand grip, resting it on your shoulder opposite to the knee that is down.
  3. Kneel down on one knee, positioning the knee directly under your hip.
  4. Press the landmine bar overhead, extending your arm fully while keeping your core engaged.
  5. Lower the landmine bar back to the starting position, maintaining control and stability.
  6. Repeat the press for the desired number of repetitions.
  7. Switch sides and perform the exercise with the opposite knee down.

Landmine Half Kneeling Press Tips

  1. Start by setting up the landmine at shoulder height, ensuring it is securely anchored. Place one knee on the ground, with the other foot planted firmly in front of you, creating a stable base.
  2. Before pressing the barbell, engage your core by drawing your belly button in towards your spine. This will help stabilize your body and protect your lower back during the exercise.
  3. As you press the barbell upward, focus on keeping your shoulder blades down and back, creating a stable platform for your shoulders to work from. Imagine squeezing a pencil between your shoulder blades to activate the muscles.
  4. Avoid arching your back or shrugging your shoulders as you press the barbell. Instead, maintain a tall and proud posture, with your chest lifted and your head aligned with your spine.
  5. Control the descent of the barbell back to the starting position, resisting the urge to let it drop. This eccentric phase of the exercise is just as important as the pressing phase, as it helps build strength and stability in your shoulders.
