How to do it

1. Stand facing the free end of a landmine barbell with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding the end of the bar at chest height with both hands, fingers interlaced around it.
2. Lean slightly forward, brace your core and keep your elbows tucked.
3. Press the bar up and forward until your arms are straight.
4. Lower the bar back to your chest with control and repeat.

Form tips

• Keep your core braced and your ribs down; don't lean back as you press.
• Drive through your chest and keep your elbows from flaring.
• Stand far enough back that the bar travels in a smooth arc.
