Celebrity fitness routines may seem pretty unusual to mere mortals, especially if they happen to include pieces of equipment you usually don’t get at your regular local gym. That’s the case with Justin Timberlake, who swears by landmine press workouts.
The Grammy-winning singer recently shared the workout routine that got him in shape for his latest movie Palmer. In the intense video he posted on Instagram, Timberlake can be seen lifting a barbell loaded into a landmine platform. He’s performing a low-impact exercise known as landmine press, which puts less strain on the shoulders than other alternatives.
This exercise was recommended to Timberlake by his go-to trainer Ben Bruno, who always prepares him for his movie roles. He praised the actor and singer on Instagram for putting a lot of effort into his routine and achieving results he rarely sees in the pro athletes he trains.
“Justin trains constantly year-round, but once he sets a goal, he goes after it with an intense focus and effort and does whatever it takes. Here he’s doing an eccentric-emphasis landmine press with 120 pounds on the bar, which is seriously strong,” wrote Bruno in the caption of Timberlake’s workout video.
