• Measure your hands by the markings on the bar to make sure you're even. Then throw your elbows underneath the bar.
    The bar should be set so high on your shoulders it digs into your neck a bit. Make sure to push your elbows up to the ceiling for the entire rep. To make sure you don't get too pitched forward.
    Use the squat stance you would use for a back or goblet squat. Push your hips back to initiate the squat. Break at the knees until you hit parallel depth.
    Squat back up to a standing position.
  • Position the barbell across your upper back and take a wide stance.
    Shift toward one side, bending that knee while straightening the opposite leg.
    Keep your chest raised and descend as deeply as comfortable.
    Push through the bent leg to return, then alternate sides.
  • Stand beside the barbell, holding its end between your thighs.
    Step wide and bend the outside knee while straightening the opposite leg.
    Keep your chest raised and lower as deeply as comfortable.
    Push through the bent leg to return, then repeat.
  • Face the landmine, holding the barbell end against your chest.
    Step wide and shift toward one side, bending that knee.
    Keep the opposite leg straight and descend as deeply as comfortable.
    Push through the bent leg to return, then alternate sides.
