Landmine Stand Up High Knee

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding one end of a landmine barbell with both hands. Engage your core and maintain a straight back.

As you lift the barbell, drive your knee up towards your chest, balancing on the opposite leg. Lower your leg back down and repeat.

  1. Start in a standing position with the landmine barbell.
  2. Lift one knee high while pressing the barbell overhead.
  3. Return to the starting position and switch legs.

How to perform the Landmine Stand Up High Knee

  1. Set up. Set up in a stable, balanced starting position appropriate for the Landmine Stand Up High Knee using your leverage machine.
  2. Brace and execute. Brace your core, control the descent, and move through a full pain-free range of motion while emphasizing your quadriceps.
  3. Reset. Reverse the movement under control and reset between repetitions, keeping your form crisp on every rep.

Coaching cues

  • Move with intent — every rep should feel deliberate, not rushed.
  • Drive force through your quadriceps rather than momentum.
  • Keep your breathing steady: exhale on the hard part, inhale on the reset.

Common mistakes

  • Using too much weight and losing positional control.
  • Cutting the range of motion short and missing the target muscle.
  • Letting your spine round or hyperextend instead of staying neutral.
