Abs

The landmine 180 rotates a barbell loaded in a landmine attachment from one side of the body to the other, training rotational power through the core rather than the slow, controlled rotation of something like a cable woodchop. The weight's arc creates real momentum that the obliques have to control on both the swing and the catch, which makes stopping the weight cleanly as important as generating it.

How to Do the Landmine 180

  1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and hold the barbell with both hands in front of your chest.
  2. Bend your knees slightly and rotate your torso to the right, swinging the barbell down towards your right hip.
  3. As you reach the bottom of the movement, quickly reverse the motion and rotate your torso to the left, swinging the barbell up and across your body towards your left shoulder.
  4. Continue this twisting motion, alternating sides, for the desired number of repetitions.

Muscles Worked
