How to Do
How to Do Landmine Squat Press
The landmine squat press should begin with good posture to avoid injury. Brace the spine by drawing your lower abdomen inward. Your core muscles should be activated to support your posture as you perform the exercise.
If any pain is experienced, immediately stop the landmine squat press.
Beginning

1. Load the free end of a barbell with weight plates and place it in a landmine attachment. You can still do the landmine squat if your gym doesn't have a landmine attachment.
2. Stand shoulder-width apart with your feet shoulder-width apart.
3. With both hands, hold the barbell at chest height (You can secure the weight by interlocking your hands over the bar).
Movement
Landmine Squat Press Movement
1. Squat down with the weight at your chest, pushing your hips back and bending your knees.
2. When your thighs are parallel to the ground, pause for a second.
3. Push yourself back up by extending your legs and thrusting your hips forward while still keeping the weight at your chest.
4. That counts as one rep.
Benefits
Landmine Squat Press Benefits
Builds muscle and strength.
The arc of the bar naturally travels back, making it simpler to sit back and stay upright at the bottom of the squat. This aids beginners in learning the appropriate squat pattern.
For people who are unable to practice regular squats due to injury or mobility concerns, this is a great alternative.
