Landmine 180's

What it is

This is a beginner-level compound exercise where you pivot a barbell side-to-side from a landmine or corner anchor. You will primarily work your abdominal muscles with this rotational movement. It also engages your glutes, lower back, and shoulders. You perform a controlled, full-body rotation, keeping your arms extended.

Technique tips

• Keep your arms extended throughout the movement.
• Maintain a wide, stable stance for a solid base.
• Initiate the rotation from your hips and core.
• Control the barbell through the full range of motion.
• Brace your abdominal muscles to protect your spine.
• Avoid using momentum to swing the weight.

How to track your progress

Log the weight and reps of each set. Straddly turns every set into an estimated one-rep max, so a heavier single and a strong set of eight both count as progress, and it flags a personal record the moment you beat your best.
