Instructions
1. Attach a barbell to a landmine post or securely wedge one end into a corner to prevent movement.
2. Stand perpendicular to the barbell and grasp the free end with the hand nearest the barbell. Your other hand can either rest on your hip or hold onto something stable for balance.
3. Position your feet shoulder-width apart and stabilize your core. The arm gripping the barbell should be straight and hanging naturally.
4. Raise your arm holding the barbell laterally away from your body. Keep the arm extended and elbow slightly bent to reduce stress on the elbow joint.
5. Continue to lift until your hand is just above shoulder height or until your arm is parallel to the ground. Ensure that the movement is controlled and that the primary motion comes from your shoulder.
6. Pause briefly at the top of the motion, squeezing your shoulder muscles.
7. Slowly lower the barbell back to the starting position while maintaining full control.
8. Complete the desired number of repetitions, then switch arms and repeat the same process.
9. Ensure to maintain proper form throughout the exercise and adjust the weight accordingly to prevent any swinging or momentum-based movements.
