Common mistakes

• Rotating the torso open with every rep instead of keeping both shoulders square
• Standing too far forward so the bar path hits the leg mid-rep
• Shrugging the bar up rather than rowing the elbow back past the ribs

Variations

• Meadows-style landmine row with a staggered stance
• Two-handed landmine row using a V-handle
