Barbell Landmine Squat

Also works: Glutes, Hamstrings, Shoulders, Abs

How to do it

1. Set a barbell in a landmine (one end anchored on the floor in a sleeve or corner) and load the free end with a plate.
2. Attach a neutral-grip or V-handle to the loaded end of the bar if shown, and stand facing the anchor with feet about shoulder-width apart.
3. Hold the handle at upper chest or front-shoulder height with your elbows tucked and torso tall.
4. Brace your core, sit back and bend your knees to lower into a controlled squat, keeping the bar traveling in its natural forward arc from the pivot.
5. Descend until your thighs are roughly parallel to the floor or as deep as you can control, then drive through mid-foot and heels to stand back up.
6. Stay balanced over your feet, fully extend the hips and knees at the top, and repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
