How to perform

Secure a barbell in a landmine or corner. Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, knees slightly bent. Hinge at the hips, torso nearly parallel to the floor, neutral spine. Grip the barbell close to the weight with an overhand grip. Engage your core, retract shoulder blades, and pull the barbell to your lower chest, bending your elbows. Pause, squeezing shoulder blades. Lower with control. Repeat.

Tips

Maintain a straight back, avoid rounding shoulders. Focus on back muscles, not just arms. Keep a slight bend in your knees for stability. Control the movement, avoid momentum. Firm grip, but not overly tight. Exhale on pull, inhale on lower.
