It’s easy to get stuck in a rut, especially if you’re working out in a nontraditional space like a boutique training studio or your garage. If you don’t have the space or resources to add more equipment, then it’s time to get creative with what you do have.
The landmine setup — a barbell anchored at one end with either a special attachment or a sandbag — offers a unique stimulus that combines the unbound chaos of free weight with the fixed, predictable trajectory of machines. Plus, it is super easy to set up. All you need to get a total-body landmine workout is a barbell and a few plates and you’re in business.
Aside from alleviating boredom, getting creative with the equipment you do have has the added benefit of surprising your muscles with a new kind of stimulus. As IFBB pro and registered nurse Jaclyn Cordiero explains in The Full-Body Landmine Workout to Shock Your Muscles, a total-body landmine workout poses a greater neuromuscular challenge than your body is used to, leading to better coordination and balance.
“Whether your goal is to gain lean muscle tissue, lose body fat or improve strength, exposing your body to different training methods like the landmine will shock your body and create results,” she says.
