Step by step

How to do the Landmine 180's

  1. 1

    Position a bar into a landmine or securely anchor it in a corner. Load the bar to an appropriate weight.

  2. 2

    Raise the bar from the floor, taking it to shoulder height with both hands with your arms extended in front of you. Adopt a wide stance. This will be your starting position.

  3. 3

    Perform the movement by rotating the trunk and hips as you swing the weight all the way down to one side. Keep your arms extended throughout the exercise.

  4. 4

    Reverse the motion to swing the weight all the way to the opposite side.

  5. 5

    Continue alternating the movement until the set is complete.
