The split squat is a popular exercise for targeting the legs and glutes. It involves stepping forward into a lunge-like position and then lowering your body down toward the ground, using your front leg to support your weight. By adjusting your stance and the amount of weight you use, you can target different areas of your legs and achieve a well-rounded lower-body workout. Guide to performing a split squat with a barbell and landmine attachment.
How to perform Landmine Lunge
- Grab a barbell and place it into a landmine attachment.
- Load the barbell up with your desired amount of weight.
- Adopt a split stance facing away from the landmine attachment. Ensure that one foot is flat on the floor (slightly in front of the bar) and the other is behind you, at an exaggerated step position.
- Hold the bar with a straight arm on the opposite side to the leading leg.
- Descend by bending at your knees (maintaining good posture). Finish when you create a 90-degree angle at your front knee.
- As you descend you should be inhaling and ensuring that your front knee does not extend past your toes.
- Pause for a brief moment at the bottom of the movement, before exhaling and driving up through your front heel and thigh, until you return to your starting position.
