Landmine Sumo Squat (Barbell)

A wide-stance squat variation using a landmine barbell that emphasizes adductor and inner thigh development alongside quadriceps and glute strength.

Instructions

1. Load one end of the barbell into a landmine attachment.
2. Stand facing the barbell with feet wider than shoulder-width apart.
3. Position your toes out at approximately 45 degrees.
4. Grip the end of the barbell at chest height with both hands.
5. Keep your torso upright and maintain a neutral spine.
6. Descend by bending at your knees and hips, maintaining an upright posture.
7. Lower until your thighs reach parallel to the ground or below.
8. Drive through your full foot, particularly the inner edges, to return to standing.
9. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

Tips

• The wide stance and turned-out toe position emphasize inner thigh and adductor engagement.
• Keep your knees tracking over your toes—resist the urge to let them cave inward.
• The angled barbell supports an upright torso ideal for this stance variation.
• This variation is excellent for improving hip mobility and developing inner thigh strength.
• Start with feet at a comfortable width and gradually widen as your mobility improves.
• Progressively increase weight while maintaining strict form and upright torso position.
