Beginner's guide
§ 03 · GuideBuilds the shoulders and pressing strength while training core stability. It carries over well to everyday lifting and other pressing movements.
You should feel it in your shoulder and a bit in the upper chest, with your core supporting. You should not feel it in your lower back or wrist.
A common mistake is leaning back and arching the lower back. Keep your ribs down, brace your core, and press the bar up and forward.

Tips
§ 05 · TipsKeep your ribs down and your pelvis in a neutral position so you don't compensate by arching your lower back. Think about pressing the bar up and forward, not straight overhead.
The landmine press loads the shoulder at a safe angle and is often more shoulder-friendly than a traditional overhead press.
