2. Hold the loaded end at chest height with both hands cupped under the sleeve, feet about shoulder-width apart.
3. Sit your hips down and back, keeping your chest tall, until your thighs reach at least parallel.
4. Drive through your feet to stand back up, keeping the bar close to your chest.

Track it with MyoAmigo

MyoAmigo pre-fills every set of the Landmine Squat from last time, charts your estimated 1RM trend so you can see strength move without testing a true max, and flags a stall with a concrete fix. It also credits this work toward your weekly Quadriceps volume on the MyoMap heatmap. New to the movement? Start with picking a working weight and progressive overload.
