How to Do Landmine Twist
Form Cues
- 1
Stand holding the end of the barbell with both hands extended at chest height, rotate the bar from hip to hip in a controlled arc
- 2
Generate power from the hips not the arms — keep arms relatively straight throughout
- 3
Pivot your back foot as you rotate to let the hips fully turn
- 4
Control the bar at each end of the arc rather than letting momentum carry it
Common Mistakes
- ●
Using arm strength to swing the bar — the rotation should originate from the hips and core
- ●
Keeping the feet flat without pivoting, limiting how far the hips can rotate
- ●
Rushing the movement with too much weight, sacrificing the controlled arc
Equipment Variations
- ▸
Cable woodchop
- ▸
