Landmine Squat Rack Position

Video coming soon...

The landmine squat rack position workout is a great way to target the quads and glutes.

By using the landmine, you can achieve a deeper squat and better engage these muscles.

The landmine allows for a more vertical torso position, reducing strain on the lower back.

While it also activates the core and upper body, its main focus is on the quads and glutes.

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, toes pointing slightly outward.
Position the landmine barbell in front of you, with one end securely anchored to the ground or placed in a landmine attachment.
Grasp the barbell with both hands, palms facing each other, and lift it up to your chest, keeping your elbows close to your body.
Take a step back, maintaining a straight back and bracing your core.
Lower your hips down and back, as if sitting into a chair, while keeping your chest up and your knees tracking over your toes.
Continue descending until your thighs are parallel to the ground, or as low as you can comfortably go.
Push through your heels and extend your hips and knees to return to the starting position.

Position your feet shoulder-width apart, toes slightly pointing outwards, and step back from the landmine bar. This stance will create a stable base and activate your quads and glutes, ensuring maximum engagement during the exercise.
Grip the bar with an overhand grip, hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart. This grip will help you maintain control and stability throughout the movement, allowing your upper body to support the load while your lower body works those quads and glutes.
As you lower into the squat, focus on keeping your chest up and your back straight. This posture will not only protect your spine but also ensure that your quads and glutes are doing the majority of the work. Avoid rounding your back or letting your knees cave inwards to maximize the effectiveness of the exercise.
Drive through your heels as you push back up to the starting position. This will activate your glutes and quads, ensuring a powerful and controlled movement. Imagine pushing the ground away from you, using your lower body strength to propel yourself upwards.
Remember to breathe throughout the exercise. Inhale as you lower into the squat, and exhale as you push back up. This rhythmic breathing will help you maintain focus, keep your core engaged, and provide a steady flow of oxygen to your muscles, enhancing their performance.
