What it is

This explosive compound movement primarily develops your shoulders. It also powerfully engages your quadriceps, hamstrings, and triceps as you drive a barbell overhead. You perform this exercise using a barbell anchored in a landmine.

Technique tips

  • Ensure a secure landmine setup and proper handle attachment.
  • Begin with the bar at shoulder height, maintaining an athletic stance.
  • Drive powerfully through your hips, knees, and ankles simultaneously.
  • Keep your chest up and back straight as you initiate the squat.
  • Extend your arms fully overhead with controlled power.
  • Control the bar on its return to the starting position.

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.
