How to do it

Insert one end of a barbell into a secure landmine swivel or wedge it into a reinforced corner.
Load the opposite sleeve with the desired weight and secure with a collar.
Stand facing the loaded end in an athletic shoulder-width stance.
Cup the very tip of the barbell sleeve with both hands interlaced or stacked, holding it at upper-chest height close to the collarbone with elbows tucked.

Brace your core, squeeze your glutes, and maintain a slight forward lean that matches the angle of the barbell.
Press the barbell upward and away along its natural arc until both elbows are fully extended.
Push actively through your shoulder blades at the top of the movement without overarching your lower back.
Lower the barbell under control back to the starting position at the upper chest.

Inhale and brace your abdomen before lowering or while at the chest; exhale forcefully as you press the bar forward and up.

Hyperextending the lumbar spine to heave the weight up.: Squeeze the glutes, lock the ribcage down, and lean forward slightly into the bar.
Flaring elbows excessively wide to the sides.: Keep the elbows tucked at roughly a 45-degree angle in the scapular plane.
Cutting the range of motion short at the top.: Extend the elbows fully and allow the scapulae to rotate upward and protract naturally at lockout.

Ensure the base of the landmine is securely anchored so it cannot slide during pressing.
