- Exercise31 August 2026Landmine pressOne end of a barbell pinned in a corner or a sleeve, the other end in one hand, pressed up and in on an angle. It sits between a bench press and an overhead press and belongs to neither, which is exactly why people reach for it when pressing straight overhead is off the table.
- Exercise31 August 2026Half-kneeling dumbbell pressOne bell, one knee down, one arm pressing. Take away a leg and take away the second weight, and the trunk suddenly has a job it could avoid on a bench. That is the point of the position. The load on the shoulder is the smaller half of what makes it hard.
- Exercise31 August 2026Elevated pike push-upThis is for you if pike push-ups have stopped being hard and you have no weights to add. Put your feet on a bench or a box and the same press loads your shoulders and triceps more, because more of your bodyweight moves onto your hands. How high the surface is decides how heavy the press is.
- Exercise31 August 2026Dumbbell front raiseThe one movement in the library that trains the front of the shoulder with nothing else to hide behind. No triceps, no chest, no leg drive. That is what makes it useful and it is also why the weight is small and why plenty of people do not need it.
- Exercise31 August 2026Barbell overhead pressThe press with nothing behind you. No bench, no backrest, no pad to shove against, so the whole body holds the ground while the arms do the work overhead. That is the lift, and it is why the weight is smaller than you expect.
- Exercise31 August 2026Arnold pressA seated dumbbell press that starts with the palms facing you and turns them out on the way up. The rotation is the reason people do it and it is also the reason the weight is lighter, because the turn happens under load in the part of the press you are weakest in.
