Instructions

Landmine Shoulder Press with Viking Press Attachment

  • Barbell

  • Weight plates (optional based on strength level)

1. Setup:

  • Insert one end of the barbell into the landmine attachment on the floor.

  • If using weight plates, add them to the free end of the barbell.

  1. Positioning:

    • Stand facing the landmine with your feet shoulder-width apart for stability.

    • Grip the barbell with both hands, palms facing toward you. You can use a neutral grip (palms facing each other) if preferred.

    • Position the barbell at chest height, with your elbows bent and close to your body.

  2. Execution:

    • Engage your core and keep your back straight.

    • Push the barbell upward by extending your arms fully. Ensure to raise it straight overhead rather than forward.

    • As you press, exhale and keep your wrists straight for stability.

    • Lower the barbell back to the starting position in a controlled manner, inhaling as you do so.

  3. Repetitions:

    • Perform 8 to 12 repetitions for 2 to 3 sets, resting for about 30-60 seconds between sets.

  4. Tips:

    • Maintain a stable stance to avoid any back strain.

    • Ensure that your movements are controlled and avoid jerking motions.

    • Focus on using your shoulder muscles to lift rather than your legs or back.

Safety:

  • Start with lighter weights to master the form before progressing to heavier weights.

  • Always use a spotter or ensure the area is clear when performing the exercise.
