Landmine Russian Twist High

Video coming soon...

The landmine Russian twist high workout is a targeted exercise that primarily engages the obliques.

The landmine attachment allows for a greater range of motion, intensifying the oblique activation during the twist.

By holding the landmine at chest height, the core muscles are further engaged, enhancing stability and balance.

While the workout may also involve other muscles, the landmine’s primary focus is on the obliques.

Start by sitting on the floor with your knees bent, feet flat on the ground, and a landmine barbell positioned in front of you.
Hold the landmine barbell with both hands, gripping it near the end of the bar.
Lean back slightly, engaging your core muscles and keeping your back straight.
Lift your feet off the ground, balancing on your sit bones.
Slowly rotate your torso to one side, bringing the landmine barbell towards the floor on that side.
Pause briefly, then rotate your torso to the other side, bringing the landmine barbell towards the floor on the opposite side.
Continue alternating sides in a controlled manner, keeping your core engaged and maintaining a steady breathing rhythm.

Start by positioning yourself in a seated position on the floor, with your knees bent and feet flat on the ground. Hold the landmine bar with both hands, keeping your arms fully extended in front of your chest, and engage your core muscles to maintain a stable and balanced position.
As you exhale, slowly rotate your torso to one side, allowing the landmine to follow the movement. Focus on using your oblique muscles to initiate the rotation, rather than relying solely on your arms or shoulders. This will help you to effectively target and engage your obliques, promoting better form and results.
Pause for a brief moment at the end of the rotation, feeling the stretch in your obliques, before smoothly reversing the movement and rotating to the opposite side. Remember to maintain control throughout the exercise, avoiding any jerky or rushed motions that could compromise your form or lead to injury.
Keep your chest lifted and your back straight throughout the exercise, avoiding any rounding or hunching of the shoulders. This will help to maximize the engagement of your obliques, while also promoting better posture and overall stability.
For an added challenge, you can increase the range of motion by extending your legs slightly off the ground while performing the Russian twist. This will engage your core muscles even further, including your lower abs, and
