Landmine Kneeling Hip Thrust
Exercise Overview
This is a buttock strengthening exercise that uses a landmine to provide anterior-to-posterior and superior-to-inferior weight resistance to challenge hip extension. Start by kneeling and sitting on your ankles and hold one end of a barbell in a landmine set up with both hands at your chest. Keep the spine neutral and knees slightly wider than shoulder distance apart. Engage the buttock by lifting the pelvis up and driving it forwards to lift the weight.
