Technique
How to do the Landmine Squat and Press
- Secure one end of a barbell in a landmine attachment or wedged into a corner. Stand facing the anchored end with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding the free end of the bar with both hands at chest height.
- Push your hips back and bend your knees to lower into a squat, keeping your chest up and the bar close to your body.
- Drive through your heels to stand up, and as you reach the top, press the bar up and away from you until your arms are fully extended.
- Bring the bar back to your chest with control and lower into the next squat. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Form cues
Getting it right
- Use the drive from your legs to help power the press for a smooth, fluid movement.
- Keep your core braced throughout to stabilize your torso during both the squat and the press.
- Exhale as you stand and press, and inhale as you lower into the squat.
- Keep your heels planted and your knees tracking in line with your toes.
