Landmine 180
The landmine 180 is a barbell exercise that targets the abs, with the obliques and quadriceps assisting.
How to do the landmine 180
- Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and hold the barbell with both hands in front of your chest.
- Bend your knees slightly and rotate your torso to the right, swinging the barbell down towards your right hip.
- As you reach the bottom of the movement, quickly reverse the motion and rotate your torso to the left, swinging the barbell up and across your body towards your left shoulder.
- Continue this twisting motion, alternating sides, for the desired number of repetitions.
Sets and reps
For muscle growth, 3–4 sets of 8–12 reps with 60–90 seconds of rest is a proven starting point. For strength, use a heavier weight for 3–5 sets of 3–6 reps and rest 2–3 minutes. Add a little weight once you hit the top of your rep range on every set.
Muscles worked
The main muscle is the abs. The obliques and quadriceps work as secondary muscles. See all ab exercises or every barbell exercise.
