For those of you who don’t know, a landmine is an attachment placed on end of a barbell in order to keep it stationary in order to move the other weighted end of the barbell safety. You can either attach it to a stationary object (like a smith machine) or to weighted plates. If you’re lifting at home or don’t happen to have one near by you can always make an adequate substitute by placing a towel in the corner of a room and placing the unweighted end of the barbell against the towel – then go to town.
