Landmine Squat To Press

Hold the end of the barbell close to the chest.
Squat down, then rise and push the barbell upward with both hands.
Keep your body and core tight the entire time.

The target muscles are the quadriceps femoris, gluteus maximus and anterior deltoid (colored red)
The main difference between full squat and Landmine squat is that in the Landmine, the center of gravity moves forward toward the barbell, so that in a standing position the body leans on the barbell.

For most exercisers, the heels should be at shoulder width, and the toes should be rotated outward 30-35 degrees (toes-out).

The toes-out position moves the thighs slightly to the side and prevents them from getting stuck in the pelvic bones. Actually, it enables greater freedom of pelvic movement (APT), and preserves the spinal curves.
If the toes are not turned out and the thighs are kept parallel, the thighs limit the range of pelvic movement, and in chain reaction the lumbar spinal curve is not preserved. As a result, we are exposed to high load on the lumbar vertebrae.
