How to Do Landmine Twist

obliquescoreshoulderslats
intermediateLandminecompound

Form Cues

  1. 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. 2

    Generate power from the hips not the arms — keep arms relatively straight throughout

  3. 3

    Pivot your back foot as you rotate to let the hips fully turn

  4. 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

  • ▸

    Dumbbell woodchop
