What it is

A one-arm press of the end of a barbell anchored in a landmine, pushing up and forward along an arc. The angled path is friendly on the shoulders and works the upper chest along with the front delt. Stand in a split stance.

One side at a time: log each side, and match the reps of your weaker side.

Technique tips

  • Hold the bar end at shoulder height
  • Stand in a split stance
  • Press up and forward
  • Reach the shoulder blade forward at the top

How to track your progress

Log the weight and reps of each set. Straddly turns every set into an estimated one-rep max, so a heavier single and a strong set of eight both count as progress, and it flags a personal record the moment you beat your best.
