Landmine

15 exercises

A landmine is a pivot that anchors one end of a barbell to the floor or a rack, so the other end moves in an arc. It turns a regular barbell into a tool for shoulder-friendly presses, rows, rotations and squats.

Benefits

  • The arcing bar path is easy on the shoulders and lower back.
  • Excellent for rotational power and anti-rotation core training.
  • A cheap way to get many more exercises out of a barbell you already own.
Beginner advice

You need a barbell and plates; the landmine itself can be a floor-plate unit, a rack attachment or simply the bar end wedged in a corner wrapped in a towel. Start with the empty bar — lifting the free end of a 20 kg bar feels like roughly 10 kg — and add small plates gradually.

Safety

Secure the base so it cannot slide, keep people clear of the bar’s arc, and protect your walls and floor if you use a DIY corner setup.
