Landmine Squat

Video coming soon...

The landmine squat is a compound exercise that targets the quads and glutes.

It involves placing one end of the barbell in a landmine attachment, which allows for more stability.

This exercise primarily engages the quads and glutes, while also activating the hamstrings and core.

By using the landmine, the exercise provides a safer and more controlled movement for the lower body muscles.

Place a landmine attachment securely in a corner of the room or use a landmine base.
Load the desired weight onto the landmine barbell.
Stand facing the landmine with your feet shoulder-width apart.
Hold the end of the barbell with both hands, palms facing inward, and bring it up to shoulder height.
Lower your body into a squat position, keeping your back straight and chest up.
As you squat down, allow the barbell to travel down and slightly forward, keeping it close to your body.
Once your thighs are parallel to the floor, pause briefly, then push through your heels to return to the starting position.

Position your feet shoulder-width apart, toes slightly turned outwards, and firmly planted on the ground. This will ensure a stable base and activate your quads and glutes right from the start.
As you descend into the squat, focus on pushing your hips back and down, maintaining a neutral spine. Imagine sitting back onto an imaginary chair, keeping your weight centered on your heels. This will engage your glutes and quads, preventing excessive strain on your knees.
Keep your chest lifted and your core engaged throughout the movement. This will help maintain proper form and stability, while also activating your quads and glutes to their fullest potential.
As you reach the bottom of the squat, aim to have your thighs parallel to the ground. This will ensure that you are engaging your quads and glutes effectively, maximizing the benefits of the exercise.
Finally, as you rise back up from the squat, focus on driving through your heels and squeezing your glutes at the top. This will give your quads and glutes an extra boost and help you develop strength and power in these muscle groups.
