Daily Strength W.O.D. – 12 Minutes (4 Rounds for weight)
Half Kneeling Landmine Strict Shoulder Press
4 Sets of 10 – 12 Each Arm
Build in weight as you go. Barbells can be anchored with either two plates or in the rivets of the wall. The arm pressing is ALWAYS the arm opposite of the forward lunged leg. Utilize an ab mat or yoga mat for the opposite knee if needed.
Intended Stimulus
This is a single-arm pressing and stability exercise .
The goal is to build:
Shoulder strength
Core stability
Unilateral balance between left and right sides
The half-kneeling position removes momentum and forces you to stay controlled through the torso.
Execution Notes
Stay tall, ribs down, core braced
Press in a slight arc following the landmine path
Full lockout at the top
Control the lowering every rep
No leaning back or shifting side to side.
Loading Guidance
Start light and build across sets
Final sets should feel challenging in the 10–12 rep range
You should have 1–2 reps in reserve each set
If you lose balance or positioning, reduce weight.
Common Errors
Pressing with the same side as the forward leg
Overextending the lower back
Letting the elbow flare excessively
Rushing the reps
Final Thoughts
This movement improves:
Shoulder stability
Core control during pressing
Imbalances between sides
Strong, controlled reps here carry over to overhead work and barbell lifts.
