A landmine exercise is a strength training exercise that involves using a barbell anchored at one end in a “landmine attachment,” a piece of equipment consisting of a metal sleeve with a pivoting joint usually attached to the floor or the base of a squat or power rack.

You perform landmine exercises using landmine equipment, which refers to a barbell anchored to a unit on the floor on one end with a weight attached to the other end. Sometimes, the barbell is attached to a rack to keep it secure. You can pivot the barbell to work your muscles from various angles.

The landmine’s unique design allows you to do rotational movements that work your core muscles. Stand in front of the barbell, feet shoulder-width apart. Using both hands, lift the barbell by its sleeve and hoist it to chest level. Press the weight above your head until your arms are nearly locked out.
