Muscles Worked The primary muscles that are targeted by this lift are your Upper Chest, Delts, Triceps, and the Traps. Multiple other muscle groups also get used as stabilizers. These are your Upper Back, Lats, and your Core.

While the shoulders are the primary movers of the landmine press, your core and oblique muscles will activate to stabilize your midsection. Your traps and triceps also play a secondary role in supporting your upper back and pressing the barbell upwards.

The kneeling landmine press primarily targets your shoulders. It builds your delts, emphasizing the front delt, and uses the glutes to keep you upright. This exercise also recruits your triceps while pressing and uses your traps to support your upper back and abs and obliques to stabilize your midsection.
