Landmine One Arm Bent Over Row (Version 2)

Landmine One Arm Bent Over Row (Version 2)

The Landmine One Arm Bent Over Row (Version 2) is an excellent compound exercise that targets multiple muscles in the upper body. This variation of the traditional bent over row specifically focuses on the back muscles, such as the latissimus dorsi (lats), rhomboids, and trapezius, while also engaging the biceps, forearms, and core muscles. To perform this exercise, you will need a landmine attachment, a barbell, and weight plates. Begin by placing one end of the barbell into the landmine attachment, while the other end is loaded with weight plates according to your desired resistance level. Stand beside the loaded end of the barbell, with your feet shoulder-width apart and knees slightly bent. Next, hinge at the hips and lean forward, maintaining a flat back with your core engaged. With one hand, grip the barbell just above the loaded end. This will be your starting position. Make sure you have a firm grip on the barbell and are maintaining proper stability throughout the exercise. Once you are in position, exhale as you pull the barbell towards your body, making sure to keep your elbow close to your side and your back straight. Focus on squeezing your back muscles at the top of the movement, then slowly lower the barbell back to the starting position. Continue this movement for the desired number of repetitions on one side before switching to the other side. It is essential to maintain proper form and avoid any jerking or swinging motions during the exercise. Start with lighter weights and gradually increase the resistance as you get comfortable with the movement. The Landmine One Arm Bent Over Row (Version 2) is a versatile exercise that can be modified to suit individual fitness levels. It not only helps to build strength and muscle in the upper back and arms but also improves posture and stability. Make sure to incorporate this exercise into a well-rounded workout routine for optimal results.
