Landmine Exercise Variations

Landmine Exercise Variations

-

The unique exercise variations that the landmine attachment presents, is endless. I think that the landmine attachment and the exercises that it provides are often underutilized in the majority of strength and conditioning programs. The landmine can be used as a full body implement which makes it so versatile.

For example, when it comes to pressing with the landmine, it typically is more shoulder friendly. And by shoulder friendly, it allows for scapular congruency with both the glenohuneral joint and the thoracic spine.

Squatting and lunging variations can also be used with the landmine. They can mimic moments that require the anterior trunk to be utilized that are similar to a front squat or front rack lunge.

Another benefit I have found using the landmine, is it’s ability to move in various ranges of motion and through all anatomical planes such as the sagittal, frontal, and transverse plane.

Furthermore, landmine variations can be more user friendly to help minimize the learning curve. This enables for more time training and less time teaching the actual movement pattern.

These are just a few “pros” that I have found using the landmine, but there are countless other benefits to go along with the ones provided.

Below I have provided different landmine exercise variations. Any questions let me know!
