The barbell landmine squat facing in is a dynamic lower body exercise that targets the quadriceps, glutes, and hamstrings while also engaging the core. Utilizing a landmine setup, this variation allows for a more natural squat motion, reducing strain on the lower back and making it accessible for lifters of all levels.

1. Set up a landmine station by placing one end of a barbell into a landmine attachment or securely into a corner.
2. Stand facing the loaded end of the barbell, feet shoulder-width apart.
3. Grip the barbell with both hands, keeping it close to your chest. Elbows should be bent and tucked in.
4. Engage your core and keep your chest up as you begin the squat.
5. Lower your body by bending your knees and pushing your hips back, ensuring your knees track over your toes.
6. Descend until your thighs are parallel to the ground or as far as your mobility allows.
7. Pause briefly at the bottom of the squat, maintaining tension in your muscles.
8. Push through your heels to return to the starting position, extending your hips and knees.
9. Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions, maintaining proper form throughout.
