The Landmine Squat is a compound exercise that targets the legs, glutes, and core. It is a variation of the traditional squat and involves the use of a barbell attached to a landmine apparatus. This exercise is highly effective in building lower body strength, stability, and coordination. Additionally, it is a safer option for individuals with lower back pain, as it places less stress on the lumbar spine. In this exercise, proper form and technique are crucial to reap its benefits and avoid injury.
How to perform Landmine Squat
- Grab a barbell and place it into a landmine attachment. Load the barbell up with your desired amount of weight.
- Adopt a shoulder-width stance facing the end of the barbell, and bend your knees and hips so that you can then lift the barbell up to your chest.
- Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding the barbell with both hands at chest height. This is your starting position.
- Keeping the bar at chest height, slowly squat down until your upper and lower legs make a 90-degree angle.
- As you exhale, press through your heels to drive up, keeping your quadriceps and glutes engaged throughout the rep.
- Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions.
