A core exercise that targets the obliques, abdominals, and shoulders. It involves rotating the torso while holding a barbell anchored at one end, providing a unique rotational movement that enhances core stability and strength.
Secure one end of a barbell in a landmine attachment or corner of the room.
Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, holding the other end of the barbell with both hands at chest level.
Extend your arms fully in front of you, keeping a slight bend in the elbows.
Engage your core and rotate your torso to one side, pivoting on the opposite foot.
Return to the starting position by rotating back to the center.
Repeat the movement to the other side, maintaining control throughout.
Perform the desired number of repetitions on each side.
Keep your core engaged throughout the movement to protect your lower back.
Focus on controlled movements rather than speed to maximize muscle engagement.
Ensure your shoulders and hips move together to maintain proper form.
Start with a lighter weight to master the technique before increasing resistance.
Breathe out as you rotate and inhale as you return to the center position.
Maintain a slight bend in your knees for better balance and stability.
