The S/A Landmine Press, also known as the Single-Arm Landmine Press, is an exercise that targets the shoulders, chest, and triceps. It involves using a landmine attachment, which is a barbell inserted into a pivot point, to create a stable pressing movement.

‍

Here's how to perform the S/A Landmine Press:

1. Begin by setting up a landmine attachment by inserting one end of a barbell into the pivot point or securing it in a corner of a room. Ensure that the barbell is securely in place.
2. Stand next to the landmine attachment, facing away from it. Grab the free end of the barbell with one hand, using an overhand grip, and position it at shoulder height. This will be your starting position.
3. Step away from the landmine attachment, maintaining a slight bend in your knees and engaging your core for stability.
4. Press the barbell away from your body, extending your arm fully while keeping it in line with your shoulder. This is your starting position.
5. Slowly lower the barbell back down towards your shoulder, maintaining control and engaging your shoulder and chest muscles throughout the movement.
6. Pause briefly when your upper arm is parallel to the floor or slightly below, ensuring that your elbow is in line with your shoulder.
7. Press the barbell back up to the starting position, fully extending your arm.
8. Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions with one arm before switching to the other arm.

Tips for performing the S/A Landmine Press:

• Choose a weight that allows you to maintain proper form and control throughout the exercise.
• Keep your core engaged and maintain good posture throughout the movement.
• Control the descent and ascent of the barbell, avoiding any sudden or jerky movements.
• Focus on maintaining a slow and controlled pace, emphasizing the mind-muscle connection with the shoulder and chest muscles.
• Keep your elbow in line with your shoulder to optimize engagement of the shoulder muscles.
• Maintain a slight bend in your knees throughout the movement for stability.
• Use a full range of motion, lowering the barbell until your upper arm is parallel to the floor or slightly below, and fully extending your arm at the top of the movement.
• If you're new to this exercise or have any concerns about your technique, consider seeking guidance from a qualified fitness professional.
• Listen to your body and stop immediately if you experience any pain or discomfort.
