Step by step

How to do the Single-Arm Linear Jammer

  1. 1

    Position a bar into a landmine or securely anchor it in a corner. Load the bar to an appropriate weight.

  2. 2

    Raise the bar from the floor, taking it to your shoulders with one or both hands. Adopt a wide stance. This will be your starting position.

  3. 3

    Perform the movement by extending the elbow, pressing the weight up. Move explosively, extending the hips and knees fully to produce maximal force.

  4. 4

    Return to the starting position.
