2 MAJOR 🔑s when doing Landmine Presses…1) Have enough space between the bar & you!

Keep your 👀 gaze forward, relax your neck, and have an “UPHILL”, athletic intent! Landmines are some of our favorite movements!💪What’s your favorite Landmine Exercise? Let us know🤔👇

4️⃣ TIPS for BARBELL FRONT SQUATS🔥👇🏽1. If you intend to use a “Front Rack” Position, then make sure you protract your shoulder blades, creating the space to take pressure of the wrists, and the leverage to safely mount the load in front of you (without choking you either LOL)2. Slide your HEELS-IN! As weird as this may sound, if you intently align your heels with your anus… this enables what is called your “Q-Angle”, which is your most balanced posture. I’ll do a future video on Q-Angles.. but for now, HEELS IN!3. As you desend, focus on keeping your torso LONG & WIDE! The tensegrity of your torso WILL make or break each rep. This is also the hardest tip to execute.4. Focus on “MELTING” or “FOLDING” into your ankle-joints. This will allow a natural “pitch” of your shin forward, creating space for the hips to drop as your knees get out of the way…Try these 4 tips - and let me know which one helped you the most!💪🏽😁What movement should we breakdown next?🤔👇🏽
