How to Do Landmine Sumo Squat
Form Cues
- 1
Stand in a wide sumo stance with toes turned out 45 degrees, hold the sleeve end of the bar with both hands at chest height
- 2
Sit straight down keeping the chest tall and knees tracking over the toes — the wide stance increases adductor and glute recruitment
- 3
Keep the bar pressed into your chest throughout to avoid losing tension
- 4
Drive through the whole foot to stand, especially the heels
Common Mistakes
- ●
Knees caving inward — actively push the knees out in line with the toes throughout the movement
- ●
Taking a stance wider than your hip mobility supports, forcing the lower back to round
- ●
Letting the elbows drop, causing the bar to lose contact with the chest
