You may be asking yourself what a
barbell landmine exercise is and first things first, there are no explosives
involved. Landmine exercises are performed by wedging one end of a barbell
either into a corner of the room or into a special floor mounted bracket that
allows for greater bar stability for the weight that is being lifted while
allowing the individual challenges in every plane of motion. This could prevent
injuries that some of the common mistakes caused by improper technique and core
instability can create.
