The Landmine 180 is a functional exercise that targets the entire core, including the obliques, rectus abdominis, and lower back muscles. It is an effective exercise for developing rotational strength and improving stability in the torso. The exercise is performed using a barbell and landmine attachment, which allows for a greater range of motion compared to traditional core exercises. Proper form is crucial to prevent injury and maximize the benefits of the exercise. In this exercise, you will be rotating the trunk and hips while holding a barbell with both hands, and adopting a wide stance.
How to perform Landmine 180
- Position a bar into a landmine and load it with an appropriate weight.
- Lift the bar from the floor to shoulder height with both hands and arms extended in front of you.
- Adopt a wide stance to establish your starting position.
- Begin the movement by rotating your trunk and hips as you swing the weight all the way down to one side.
- Keep your arms extended throughout the exercise.
- Reverse the motion to swing the weight all the way to the opposite side for a 180-degree rotation.
- Continue alternating the movement from side to side until the set is complete.
