How to Do One-Arm Landmine Press

  1. Stand with your core activated and your feet about shoulder-width apart.
  2. Place the barbell in one hand, and rest it on your shoulder. 
  3. Press to lockout by extending the elbow and flexing the shoulder.
  4. Slowly lower the barbell back to the starting position on your shoulder.
  5. Repeat for reps.

Commentary

The one-arm landmine press is a variation of the shoulder press where you can work one side at a time even if your only equipment is a barbell. You can also perform the exercise with both hands on the bar, leading to more activation in your upper chest muscles.
