How to incorporate the landmine into your training plan, with David Otey and Joe Drake

May 30, 2025

Somewhere in the corner of your gym is the "Land of Misfit Toys" that seems to be forgotten. The collection sparked interest from certified trainers David Otey and Joe Drake, and they realized there was a lot they could do with the funny-looking barbell holder known as the landmine. After some exploration, they decided to share their knowledge and experience with others, ultimately resulting in the Complete Guide to Landmine Training. In this episode, David and Joe discuss their experience using and training others with the landmine. They detail nuances they have discovered using the landmine, benefits compared to other implements, and their favorite exercises. Learn more by following them Instagram, and in their book, Complete Guide to Landmine Training.
