Landmine Oblique Twist

How to do it

  1. Load one end of a barbell into a landmine attachment and grip the free end with both hands at chest height.
  2. Stand with feet shoulder-width apart and knees softly bent, arms extended in front of you.
  3. Brace the core and rotate the bar from one hip to the other in a controlled arc, letting the torso follow the motion.
  4. Keep the arms relatively straight, driving the movement by rotating through the obliques rather than the shoulders.
  5. Control the tempo evenly on both sides, exhaling as the bar crosses the body.
  6. Stop the rotation at hip height on each side rather than letting the bar drop toward the floor.
