💥10-Minute Landmine Leg Day!

🦍🦄Want to melt fat and hammer your quads, glutes, hamstrings, calves, and adductors? Just place a barbell into a corner of a wall or landmine post and get ready for a complete lower body workout you won’t soon forget!

Landmine training is a safer, more versatile way to perform barbell training. Not only will your body deal with less joint stress, but you can access unique force vectors, angles, and planes of motion you couldn’t otherwise. Perform these moves as a circuit as outlined below or plug any of them into your next leg day for sets of 8-15 reps, the sweet spot for fat loss and muscle gain.

📝Perform each move for 40 seconds with 20 seconds of rest between moves:

1. Ipsilateral Push-Back Split Squat- Left Leg 
2. Ipsilateral Push-Back Split Squat- Right Leg 
3. Contralateral 1-Leg Hip-Hinge- Left Leg
4. Contralateral 1-Leg Hip-Hinge- Right Leg
5. Contralateral 1-Arm Lateral Lunge to Balance- Left Leg, Right Arm
6. Contralateral 1-Arm Lateral Lunge to Balance- Right Leg, Left Arm
7. Lineman Squats
8. Close to Wide-Stance Hip-Hinges
9. Pulsing Goblet Squats
10. Side-to-Side Sumo Deadlift Jumps

🤯That’s 1 round. Perform a single round as a starter or finisher. Perform 2-4 rounds for a full lower body workout, resting 2-3 minutes between rounds.

🍊Though you don’t need it, I highly recommend adding the Purmotion WAR HAMMER landmine/barbell attachment shown in the video.

It will allow you to create more space and separation from the barbell and plates plus it provides better gripping and racking options. You can choose between a short and long attachment but I recommend the long for lower body training since it works really well for placing the handle on your shoulders.

⏪REVERSE LEG DAY!

⏪REVERSE LEG DAY!

You guys constantly ask me how I train my legs, as if the stuff I share here isn't what I'm actually doing. And my answer is I train them the exact opposite way that most people do. ➖➖➖➖
Most people do their heavier work on bilateral (double-legged) lifts like squats and deadlifts first. And if they actually do any single-leg work, it's typically for a couple sets of higher reps as an afterthought.

My approach is to go heavier on single-leg work and do them first when I'm most fresh and focused (and I still do higher reps too). And if I do any squatting or deadlifting (sometimes I don't), it tends to be for higher reps, with shorter rest periods, and typically stacked with other competitive moves for more of a metabolic stress stimulus. 

For me, this approach makes lighter loads go a longer way, which is very important to me since I had 4 knee surgeries by the time I was 22 from training like an idiot and playing football.

I realize many of you will be butt-hurt that I don't squat or deadlift "heavy" but my legs are now twice the size of the average man and I no longer have any knee or back pain. So what do I know!? And I'm certainly not the strongest, but I'm strong enough. 

Here's a snapshot of what I did at a recent leg day not including calf work or warmups:

- Perform 5 sets of 6 reps of each move with 30-60 seconds rest between moves:

1a. 3-2-1* Tempo Extended Bulgarian Split Squats- Left Leg
1b. 3-2-1* Tempo Extended Bulgarian Split Squats- Right Leg
1c. Band-Resisted Rolling Leg Curls

*3 seconds down, 2 second pause at bottom, 1 second up

- Perform 15-20 reps of each move with 15-30 seconds of rest between moves:

2a. Wishbone Lineman Squats
2b. Wishbone Hack Squats
2c. Dual Renegade Hip-Hinges Facing Anchor
2d. Dual Renegade Hip-Hinges Facing Away

- That's 1 round. Do 2-3 rounds.

I'm using the WISHBONE landmine/barbell attachment and DUAL RENEGADE/LANDMINE bars from:
