Landmine Thruster

Video coming soon...

The landmine Thruster workout primarily targets the Quads, Glutes, and Shoulders.

It involves using the landmine, a barbell attached to a pivot point, to perform a squat and overhead press motion.

This exercise effectively engages the targeted muscles while minimizing strain on secondary muscles, making it a great full-body workout option.

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, toes slightly turned out.
Hold the barbell with both hands, palms facing up, and position it on your shoulders, resting against your collarbone.
Squat down by bending your knees and lowering your hips, keeping your chest up and back straight.
As you reach the bottom of the squat, explosively drive through your heels to stand up, extending your hips and knees.
Simultaneously press the barbell overhead, fully extending your arms.
Lower the barbell back to the starting position on your shoulders, and immediately begin the next repetition.

Start with proper setup: Place the landmine in a secure position, resting against a wall or in a landmine attachment. Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, toes slightly turned out.
Engage the quads and glutes: As you descend into the squat position, focus on pushing through your heels and activating your quadriceps and glutes to maximize muscle engagement.
Maintain an upright posture: Keep your chest lifted, shoulders back, and core engaged throughout the movement to ensure proper form and prevent unnecessary strain on your lower back.
Drive through your heels: As you rise from the squat, push through your heels to activate your glutes and quads, while also engaging your shoulders to press the weight overhead.
Control the movement: Avoid using momentum and focus on a controlled descent and ascent. This will help you maintain proper form and prevent any potential injuries.
Gradually increase weight: As you become more comfortable with the exercise, progressively add weight to challenge your muscles and continue making progress.
