Landmine Front Squat
The Landmine Front Squat targets your quadriceps, glutes, and core stability. It is performed using a landmine attachment for added support and stability.
- Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding the end of a barbell anchored in a landmine attachment.
- Position the barbell at chest height with both hands, elbows pointing down.
- Lower your body into a squat, keeping your chest up and back straight.
- Push through your heels to return to the starting position.
How to perform the Landmine Front Squat
- Set up. Set up in a stable, balanced starting position appropriate for the Landmine Front Squat using your barbell.
- Brace and execute. Brace your core, control the descent, and move through a full pain-free range of motion while emphasizing your calves.
- Reset. Reverse the movement under control and reset between repetitions, keeping your form crisp on every rep.
Coaching cues
- Move with intent — every rep should feel deliberate, not rushed.
- Drive force through your calves rather than momentum.
- Keep your breathing steady: exhale on the hard part, inhale on the reset.
Common mistakes
- Using too much weight and losing positional control.
- Cutting the range of motion short and missing the target muscle.
- Letting your spine round or hyperextend instead of staying neutral.
