How to: Landmine Hack Squat
- Set up the landmine attachment at the appropriate height.
- Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding the end of the barbell with both hands.

- Continue lowering until your thighs are parallel to the ground.
- Push through your heels to return to the starting position.
