Landmine press improves the overall shoulder health and is great for chest improvements. Multiple variations exist that combine the thighs, hips and more. The overhead press by itself works a wider variety of muscles including the chest (pectoral), shoulders (deltoids), triceps and upper back.

Unlike an overhead press, where the bar is pressed directly upwards, the landmine press has a fixed bar path, guiding the lifter to press at a diagonal angle. This increases stability and reduces injury risk, putting less strain on the shoulder joints whilst still building pressing strength.
