How to perform?

The Landmine Press is a compound pressing exercise where one end of a barbell is anchored to the floor (or a landmine attachment) while you press the other end upward at an angle. This angled pressing motion makes it one of the most spine-friendly pressing variations available — ideal for people with herniated discs or lower back issues. Stand in a split stance, hold the barbell end at shoulder height with one or both hands, brace your core, and press upward and forward until your arm is fully extended. The natural arc of the barbell reduces axial spinal compression compared to vertical overhead pressing.
