Landmine Shoulder Press Techniques

The landmine shoulder press with shoulder flexion is an effective exercise targeting the deltoids and upper chest while maintaining joint health by avoiding direct overhead pressing. The primary muscle involved is the anterior deltoid, with assistance from the upper pectoralis. The upper trapezius, lower trapezius, and serratus anterior aid in scapula rotation. Core muscles stabilize the trunk. Common mistakes include spine and hip extension, often due to weak delts or lack of awareness.
