oblique builder arcing a landmine bar from side to side overhead
the bar pivots at the floor, so resistance builds as it travels out to the
side and the obliques are loaded hardest at the ends of the arc
both hands on one bar with your arms extended makes a long lever, so a light
landmine loads the trunk heavily
Execution
Load a barbell into a landmine attachment. Stand facing it with your feet
shoulder-width apart, holding the end of the bar in both hands at chest height,
arms nearly straight. Brace your trunk.
sweep the bar down and across to one hip, rotating through your trunk
keep your arms nearly straight so the bar travels in a wide arc
let your hips turn with the bar rather than fighting them
sweep through to the other side under control
keep your chest up throughout
Control the ends of the arc. That is where the load is, and where speed steals
it.
