Instructions

  1. 1Set a barbell on a landmine attachment or place one end of the bar at a wall angle to serve as an anchor point.
  2. 2Load the opposite side of the barbell with some weight.
  3. 3Stand perpendicular to the loaded side of the bar (one side facing it).
  4. 4Assume a staggered stance, bend forward, and take hold of the barbell sleeve with the hand closer to the bar.
  5. 5Raise your torso enough for the loaded side of the barbell to lift an inch or two off the floor while your arm is straight.
  6. 6Draw your shoulders back, inhale, and pull the bar up and close to your side, squeezing your lat. Pull the weight until your elbow is at a 90-degree angle and the barbell sleeve is at torso level while exhaling.
  7. 7Extend your arm slowly, breathing in on the way down. Don’t protract your shoulder (roll it forward) as you reach the bottom of each rep.
  8. 8Once finished training one side, turn your body 180 degrees and do the matching number of repetitions with your opposite arm.
