Beginner's guide
§ 03 · GuideBuilds shoulder strength and pressing power. It helps with overhead lifts, pushing movements, and everyday lifting.
You should feel it in your shoulders, mainly the front delt, with some triceps. It should not be felt in your lower back or neck.
A common mistake is arching the lower back and lifting the chest too much. Brace your core and press the bar up and slightly forward.

Tips
§ 05 · TipsKeep your elbow slightly in front of your torso and avoid letting your upper arm drift out to the side. Think about pressing the bar up and slightly forward, and keep your core braced so your chest does not lift upward.
The Landmine Seated Shoulder Press loads the shoulder through a more joint-friendly angled pressing path than a straight overhead press.
