One of the most versatile pieces you’ll find in the gym is the landmine attachment. It attaches to a barbell, and acts as a ground based rotational training device that can target the entire body. It requires control, adds an anti-rotation component, and often requires stability. All come together to challenge the body considerably. Furthermore, since the landmine is fixed to the ground, it can be a bit safer during explosive exercises. We have five landmine attachments scattered throughout Sport Manitoba Performance that are used daily.
Here are 10 great lowerbody exercises that you can do with a landmine!
