Incline Landmine Press
How to Do:
- Set Up the Landmine: Position a landmine attachment (or a barbell placed securely in a corner) at the base of an incline bench.
- Adjust Bench Position: Set the incline bench at a 30-45 degree angle. Ensure it's stable and properly secured.
- Position the Barbell: Grab the barbell with both hands, placing them directly under the bar at chest height. Keep your palms facing upward, and your elbows bent at a 90-degree angle.
- Press the Bar: Press the barbell upwards and slightly forward in a diagonal motion, aiming to fully extend your arms. Keep your core engaged and shoulders back throughout the movement.
- Lower with Control: Slowly lower the barbell back down to the starting position, maintaining tension in your chest and shoulders.
- Repeat: Perform the desired number of repetitions.
Benefits:
The Incline Landmine Press primarily targets the upper chest and shoulders, while also engaging the triceps. The incline position reduces shoulder strain and improves upper body pressing strength. This exercise promotes stability and coordination and can be beneficial for athletes looking to enhance pressing power, especially in overhead and upper chest movements. The controlled motion also minimizes risk of injury, making it a great option for lifters of all levels.
