Landmine Squat

BeginnerBarbell

A squat using the landmine, which loads the legs from a forward angle unlike a standard barbell squat. It works the quads, glutes and hamstrings while your core fights to keep you stable through the arced path. A great option for varying your squats or training without a rack.

How to do it

  1. 1

    Set your feet just past the end of the landmine, roughly shoulder-width, and grip the bar in a deadlift position.

  2. 2

    Drive up powerfully with a flat back and braced core to bring the bar to your chest.

  3. 3

    Interlock your fingers around the end of the bar, using your thumbs as padding against your chest.

  4. 4

    Set up with a slight forward lean, since the bar moves in an arc rather than straight up.

  5. 5

    Hinge at the hips and bend the knees to drop into a squat, core tight.

  6. 6

    Explode up by driving your hips up and forward, keeping your knees behind your toes and back straight, then repeat.
