Landmine 180
Description
The landmine 180 is a rotational core exercise where the lifter swings the end of a landmine bar in a 180-degree arc from one hip to the other across the body. The continuous rotation builds rotational core power and obliques while the standing position adds shoulder and grip work. It is a strong choice for athletic core training.
