The kneeling single arm landmine press works deltoids, pectoralis major and minor, and scapular stabilizers. The single-arm version works the shoulder muscles, as well as the biceps and triceps in the arms.

The landmine press builds motor control because one has to control the pressing and the eccentric motion in the scapula and tricep. This exercise is great for fixing left to right imbalances as the midline from the neck down has to be activated while executing this movement.
