Kayak Strength landmine training.

The landmine is one of the most versatile pieces of gym equipment you can use. It allows you to perform a wide range of movements in a small space, whether it’s attached to a rack or simply set up on the floor.

In this video, I break down 5 key landmine exercises that transfer directly to kayak strength and performance.

Bonus: if you’re reading this, here’s a complete session you can follow alongside the video.

Warm-up
Use this time to practice the landmine movements with light weight. These exercises require coordination and control, so treating the warm-up as skill development will improve both performance and safety.

You can also include your preferred mobility drills and movement prep here.

Exercise	Reps	Notes
Landmine Rotational Lunges	12 Each side x 2	Practise this one before adding weight and be conservative
Landmine Paddler Rows	12 each side x 2	Straps can help if the end of the bar is too round
Landmine Floor press	12 each side x 2	Practice this one, more of a whole body press as opposed to chest focused
Landmine Shoulder press	8 each side x 2	More of a prehap exercise for the shoulders
Landmine Rotation	10 each side x 2	Classic core anti Rotation
Kayak Sling rotations	6 each side x 3	See other videos
Sword Pulls (Sling)	6 each side x 3	See other vidoes

Could also complete this as a full circuit moving through each landmine exercise and completing each circuit 2-3 times.
