•• Intermediate Functional Strength
Landmine Press (Single Arm)
Why This Matters for Boxing
Mimics the upward arc of the uppercut with real weight. The barbell angle forces you to press at roughly 60 degrees — the exact path of a rear uppercut. This builds functional pressing power that transfers directly to the ring.
How To Do It
- 1Secure one end of a barbell in a landmine attachment.
- 2Hold the free end at shoulder height with one hand.
- 3Press the barbell upward and slightly forward.
- 4Lower with control back to shoulder height.
- 5Complete all reps on one side before switching.
