Instructions
1. Load an appropriate weight onto one end of a barbell secured in a landmine attachment.
2. Stand facing away from the landmine base, grasping the weighted end of the barbell with both hands, and raise it overhead with your arms extended. Your feet should be shoulder-width apart.
3. Brace your core, keep your chest up, and maintain the weight overhead with your arms straight.
4. Step backward with one foot into a lunge position, lowering your back knee towards the ground while keeping the front shin as vertical as possible and the weight stable overhead.
5. Lower your body until your front thigh is approximately parallel to the ground. Ensure your front knee does not go beyond your toes.
6. Push through your front heel to drive your body back up to the starting position, maintaining the weight's overhead position throughout the movement.
7. Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions, and then switch legs.
8. Keep the movements controlled, and pay close attention to form to prevent injury.
This exercise incorporates a dynamic lunge movement to target the lower body, while the overhead weight engages the shoulders and arms, and requires stability from your core muscles throughout the movement. It's an excellent compound exercise for developing overall strength and coordination.
