Landmine Love: Why This Underrated Bit of Kit Is a Full-Body Game-Changer

It’s been a while since I last stepped into a bustling commercial gym, but I still remember the quiet little corner at Halifax Everlast—where one of the most underrated pieces of equipment lived: the landmine.

While everyone rushed to queue for squat racks or fought over the cable machines, I’d head straight to that tucked-away landmine station. No queues. No awkward gym politics. Just me, a barbell, and one seriously powerful workout.

And honestly? I loved it.

Simple. Effective. Seriously underrated.

Landmines are one of the most versatile, space-saving bits of kit out there. Whether you’re training at home, in a studio, or at the gym, this setup gives you access to a full-body strength session—without needing a room full of machines.

You can hit every major muscle group. You can build strength, stability, and power. And you can do it all without spending hours in the gym.

Ready to Try It? Here’s a Full-Body Landmine Workout

All you need is a barbell and either a landmine attachment or a sturdy corner to wedge one end of the bar into. Then give this circuit-style workout a go:

 Circuit 1: Strength & Stability

• Landmine Sumo Squats – Targets glutes, quads, and inner thighs

• Landmine Rows – A back-day staple

• Weighted Single-Leg Lifts – Core and balance in one move

Circuit 2: Power & Pressing

• Landmine Front Squats – Great for quads and core

• Landmine Strict Press – Shoulder burn incoming

• Up & Overs – A spicy little cardio finisher

Circuit 3: Total Body Burner

• Landmine Lunge to Press – Coordination, strength, and power

• Landmine Rotational Twists – Sculpt those obliques and improve mobility

How to Use It:

• Perform 3–4 rounds per circuit

• Aim for 8–10 reps per exercise

• Keep rest minimal between moves—just enough to catch your breath!

Whether you’re new to strength training or want a fresh challenge, landmine training is worth exploring. It helps build total-body strength, boosts mobility, and gives you a sweaty, satisfying workout in a short space of time.
