Landmine Romanian Deadlift

Landmine Romanian Deadlift

Set a barbell into a landmine attachment and grip the loaded end with both hands in front of your hips. Keep your knees soft and your back flat as you hinge at the hips, pushing your butt back and letting the bar travel down along an arc until you feel a strong stretch in your hamstrings. Drive your hips forward to stand tall, squeezing your glutes at the top. The landmine's fixed path keeps the load close to your body and reduces lower-back strain compared to a free barbell.
