Landmine One Leg Deadlift (alternating) Overview

The landmine one leg deadlift is a unilateral exercise that targets the hamstrings.

Landmine One Leg Deadlift (alternating) Tips

  1. Engage your core by standing tall with your feet hip-width apart, holding the landmine with both hands in front of your body.
  2. Begin the movement by shifting your weight onto one leg, keeping a slight bend in the knee, and hinging forward at the hips while extending the opposite leg straight behind you.
  3. As you lower the landmine towards the ground, focus on feeling a deep stretch in your hamstrings while maintaining a neutral spine and keeping your shoulders down and back.
  4. Drive through your standing heel and squeeze your glutes to return to the starting position, maintaining control throughout the entire range of motion.
  5. Remember to alternate legs with each repetition, allowing for a brief pause at the top of the movement to reset your balance and engage your core before starting the next repetition.
