Landmine Press (Barbell)

A pressing exercise using a landmine barbell that reduces shoulder joint stress and allows for a more natural pressing angle suitable for beginners.

Instructions

1. Load one end of the barbell into a landmine attachment.
2. Stand facing the barbell with feet shoulder-width apart.
3. Grip the end of the barbell at shoulder height, with elbows bent.
4. Keep your core tight and maintain an upright posture.
5. Press the barbell forward and slightly upward by extending your arms.
6. Pause briefly at full extension while maintaining control.
7. Lower the barbell back to shoulder height in a controlled manner.
8. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

Tips

• The angled barbell creates a more shoulder-friendly pressing pattern than straight barbells.
• Keep your core engaged and avoid excessive lower back extension during the press.
• This variation works well for strength development and muscle building.
• Maintain neutral wrist position throughout the movement.
• Gradually increase weight as you build strength and confidence.
• This exercise transitions well from dumbbell pressing to barbell pressing.
