My whole “thing” revolves around the relationship between these two sticks.

You CAN apply legitimate progressive overload to patterns that involve multiplanar movement through the spine.

Any “anti-anti-rotation” content I post is because I think that the “neutral spine” has been overvalued and put on a pedestal, particularly in the sports-performance world.

Power, control, and explosiveness through the frontal and transverse planes TOGETHER is worth pursuing for anyone interested in sports performance.

I will say my form (and breathing) definitely felt affected by the sticks, but hopefully it gets the point across.

‼️MORE THAN CLEANS, JERKS, AND SNATCHES‼️

Landmine U teaches you how to add rotational and forward intent through coiled positions to any movement.

This rotational lunge variation is used as a building block for the rotational clean, but it is also an excellent stand alone assistance exercise.

I also included a couple of clips of middleschool athletes (Ashur and Tyson). Great work fellas

Immerse yourself in the system and come learn at the Landmine Summit
San Diego California
January 24-25

What should kids be doing?

In my opinion, young athletes should be doing explosive weightlifting and a LOT of skill-based calisthenics.

Yes they should also do speed work and plyos (duh), but too often I see coaches prescribe sprints, jumps, and then lifting routines that look like low-intensity bodybuilding.

If you’re working with young athletes, you have no excuse for not taking the time to teach explosive lifts (Landmine U and/or Olympic lifts), this will set the stage for aggressive explosive loading when they get older. Also, skill-based calisthenics are WAY easier to tackle if you start young.

Great work as always, Kona!

Trying to decide if I should throw the “moon walk clean” into the Level 2 Curriculum…

My favorite thing about Landmine U is that you can use it to get STRONG with progressive overload, just like any other weightlifting method

But

It can also be fun to explore beyond base principles and get funky, which is what the advanced applications portion of Level 2 is all about.

We are now less than TWO WEEKS out from the Landmine Summit in San Diego.

🏅January 24-25🏅
Saturday- Level 1 cert, master the base movements
Saturday Night- Landmine Games, find out who’s STRONGEST
Sunday- Level 2, master programming and advanced applications
Sunday Night- Guest speakers, TBA this week!

Let me show you the way

The best way to learn complex movements is to break them down into drills

The Landmine U system was designed to give coaches a blueprint for developing explosive, core-driven strength

Today I revisited the building blocks that we use to teach and master the landmine clean, jerk, and snatch

Two weeks until the ultimate weekend in functional strength in San Diego

Come learn, network, grow, and COMPETE.

DM me for more info

There’s nothing “wrong” with training planes of motion separately

But there is something special about training them together

One of my favorite things about the Landmine U system is the opportunity to move in the transverse and frontal plane simultaneously

Come to San Diego in two weeks and you will learn some real strategies for expanding your movement literacy and your ability to produce force through multiple planes

Follow up from yesterday’s post

I really do enjoy the back and forth, and when done professionally I think it is the best thing about the internet and social media

This is an attempt to clarify and elaborate for anyone who is interested
