Landmine Romanian Deadlift — Technique Guide
BB
By Borja Bes — CrossFit Athlete & Hyrox Finisher
Landmine Romanian Deadlift is a supported hinge that loads the posterior chain while the bar travels on a fixed diagonal. Equipment: Landmine attachment, Barbell, Weight plates. To establish a repeatable position, face away from or toward the anchor according to the handle setup, stand tall, and begin with the sleeve close to the thighs. From there, push the hips backward with soft knees, keep the load close, and extend the hips to return to standing. The movement belongs in deliberate strength, accessory, or compatible conditioning work rather than being added randomly for novelty. Stop the descent before the spine rounds and make sure the sleeve or handle cannot slip from the hands. Select resistance that preserves the intended pattern from the first repetition to the last.
