Landmine Row

Both hands on the landmine handle, hinged over the bar: pull it to the sternum.

How to do it

Setup

Straddle the landmine bar facing the plates, V-handle under the collar, hinge with a flat back.

Steps

  1. Pull the handle to the sternum.
  2. Squeeze the blades at the top.
  3. Lower along the bar's arc with control.

Common mistakes

Standing too far forward: the arc fights you; find the spot where it lands on the sternum. Heaving with the hips: the angle stays. Plates hitting the chest as range shrinks: smaller plates give longer pulls.

Breathing

Exhale on the row, inhale lowering.
