Technique

How to perform Landmine Romanian Deadlift

  1. Secure the bar in its landmine attachment and stand over the free end.
  2. Hold the sleeve with both hands, keeping your arms long and your feet about hip-width apart.
  3. Soften your knees, brace your torso and maintain that knee bend as you move.
  4. Send your hips backward to lower the bar, keeping your back position steady and the bar close.
  5. Stop at the end of the range you can reach by hinging without changing your back position.
  6. Drive your hips forward to stand, without turning the movement into a squat or leaning backward at the top.
