You can also use dumbbells for that, but I do like it better with kettle bells.


There are a lot of variations of landmines, but basically the way I do them is to setup the barbell so there is weight on one end but not the other. I put the unloaded end in a corner, like when doing a ghetto T-bar row. Stand to the side of the loaded end with one hand on the very end of the barbell in a supinated position and the other hand next to it in a pronated position. Now using your legs and core twist the barbell to the opposite side of your body allowing yourself a couple of tiny steps to reposition comfortable. Keep your arms and shoulders fairly close to your body and limit their usage, though they will be used to some degree.

Box squats with chain

Type Writer Pull Up

Towel chin up (or the version I like one hand on the bar and the other holding the towel, altenating sides). Very good for improving grip strength and enables you to pinpoint your stronger/ weaker side. Great for building think forearms.

Hell yeah, towel chinups rule. I prefer having both hands gripping onto a towel, but alternating is cool too.
