Exercise Description

The landmine thruster builds explosive power through your whole body. It combines a squat with an overhead press to work shoulders, legs, and core together.

How To

1. Set up a barbell in a landmine attachment or corner. Load one end with weight. 2. Hold the weighted end at chest level with both hands. Stand with feet shoulder-width apart. 3. Squat down by pushing your hips back and bending your knees. Keep the landmine thruster weight close to your chest. 4. Drive through your heels to stand up explosively. Use this momentum to press the weight overhead. 5. Lower the weight back to chest level and repeat. Keep your core tight during the entire landmine thruster movement.

Form Tips

• Keep your elbows close to your body during the squat portion of the landmine thruster • Drive through your heels, not your toes, when standing up • Use the momentum from your legs to help press the weight overhead during the landmine thruster • Keep your core braced throughout the entire movement

Common Mistakes

• Pressing the weight too early instead of using leg drive during the landmine thruster • Letting knees cave inward during the squat portion • Not going deep enough in the squat before driving up in the landmine thruster
