Landmine Jammer Press

How to do it

1. Set a barbell in a landmine and fit a jammer arm or hold the end of the bar with both hands at the chest.
2. Stand facing away from the pivot with the feet about shoulder-width apart, the bar's end at the upper chest.
3. Bend the knees and sit the hips back slightly, keeping the chest up.
4. Drive up through the legs and press the bar forward and up until the arms are straight.
5. Let the body extend fully, rising onto the toes at the finish.
6. Bring the bar back to the chest under control, dip, and repeat.

Common mistakes

• Pressing with the arms before the legs have driven. The legs start it and the arms finish; a press from a standing-still body is a shoulder press at an angle.
• Pressing straight up. The bar travels along the landmine's arc, forward and up; fighting the arc puts the shoulders in a poor position.
• Letting the elbows flare wide at the chest. They stay under the bar so the press starts from a stacked position.
• Standing too far from the pivot. The bar should arrive at the upper chest with the arms bent; too far away and the press starts half-extended.
