Compared to more traditional pressing movements, the landmine press allows for scapular movement, requires (and therefore develops) more stability, and doesn’t require a whole lot of weight to get the job done.

Landmine pressing is the perfect alternative to overhead pressing for training your shoulders, chest, and triceps without discomfort or injury. In addition, it makes for an athletic workout that can help you throw, push, and punch harder.

Landmine Chest Presses allow for free movement of the scapula, place less pressure on the elbows, and the angle in which they’re pressed places less overall stress on the joints. Landmine Presses are also performed with a neutral grip making them easier on the shoulders and wrists.

Pressing at an angle allows for a more natural and biomechanically efficient movement pattern, reducing the stress on the shoulder joints and minimizing the risk of injury. It also engages a broader range of muscles, including the deltoids, triceps, and core stabilizing muscles.
