Exercise Profile

Landmine Push Press Overview

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

By holding the barbell at shoulder height, the exercise targets the deltoids, trapezius, and triceps.

The landmine allows for a more natural pressing motion, reducing strain on the wrists and elbows.

While other muscles are involved, the landmine push press primarily engages and strengthens the shoulders.

Landmine Push Press Tips

  1. Start by standing with your feet shoulder-width apart, gripping the landmine barbell with an overhand grip, palms facing downward. This exercise primarily targets the shoulders, so ensure your shoulders are engaged right from the start.
  2. Bend your knees slightly and initiate the movement by driving through your legs, generating power from your lower body to help propel the barbell upwards. This explosive movement will assist in engaging your shoulders and maximizing the benefits of the exercise.
  3. As the barbell rises, focus on keeping your core tight and your back straight. This will help maintain stability and prevent any unnecessary strain on your lower back. Remember, proper form is crucial for both safety and effectiveness.
  4. As you reach the top of the movement, fully extend your arms overhead, ensuring that your elbows are locked out. This will help engage your shoulders to their fullest potential. Squeeze your shoulder blades together at the top to enhance the contraction.
  5. Slowly lower the barbell back down to the starting position, controlling the descent. Avoid simply dropping the weight as this can lead to injury. Maintain control throughout the entire range of motion to further engage your shoulders and build strength.
