How to Perform
- 1
Wedge one end of a barbell into a landmine and load the other end.
- 2
Stand facing the bar and bring the loaded end up to shoulder height with one or both hands.
- 3
Press the bar up and away from you until your arm is straight, following the arc the bar wants to travel.
- 4
Lower it back to your shoulder under control.
Tips
- ★Let the bar travel on its arc rather than fighting it into a vertical path.
- ★Squeeze your glutes and brace your core so the press does not turn into a back arch.
