Landmine Shoulder Press Incline (alternating) Tips

  1. Start with a light weight on the landmine to ensure proper form and prevent injury. Place one end of the barbell securely in the landmine attachment, and stand facing away from the attachment with your feet shoulder-width apart.
  2. Grab the barbell with an overhand grip, palms facing down, and lift it up to your shoulder level. Keep your core tight, chest up, and shoulders back throughout the exercise for maximum engagement of your shoulder muscles.
  3. As you press the barbell up, make sure to fully extend your arm without locking your elbow. Focus on the upward movement, feeling the burn in your shoulders. Lower the barbell back down in a controlled manner, maintaining tension in your muscles.
  4. Alternate the shoulder press by performing the exercise with one arm at a time. This helps to improve balance and stability while also targeting each shoulder individually. Remember to keep your body still and avoid any twisting or leaning.
  5. To challenge yourself further, increase the weight gradually as you become more comfortable with the exercise. However, always prioritize maintaining proper form and technique over lifting heavier weights. Consistency and progression are key to building strong and defined shoulders.
