How to Perform
Anchor one end of the barbell in a landmine attachment or corner, load the free end with plates, and position a V-grip handle below the plates. Straddle the bar with feet shoulder-width apart, hinge at hips to 30-45 degrees, and grip the handle neutrally with arms extended.
- Drive elbows back and up to pull the handle toward your lower chest.
- Squeeze shoulder blades together at the top.
- Pause briefly to contract the back.
- Lower the bar slowly to full arm extension.
- Maintain neutral spine throughout.
Coaching Tips
Form Cues
- Squeeze blades together
- Drive with back, not arms
- Keep core braced
- Neutral spine always
Breathing
Inhale as you lower the weight; exhale as you pull toward your body while bracing your core.
Tempo
3-1-1
Range of Motion
Pull until plates touch torso or handle reaches hip line; lower until arms fully extend with lats stretched, without rounding the back.
Safety

When to Avoid
