Overview
The Rogue Landmine is a dynamic training accessory designed to mount directly to an existing rig, rack, or squat stand. By converting a standard Olympic barbell into a smooth-pivoting lever, it allows for a vast range of rotational, vertical, and horizontal movements. Manufactured in Columbus, Ohio, the Rogue Landmine is a foundational tool for building core stability, peak power, and explosive full-body strength.

Greater Range of Motion: Allows for angled barbell training that mimics natural human movement patterns better than fixed-path machines.
Full-Body Strength: Enables a broad spectrum of explosive movements, including landmine presses, rows, cleans, deadlifts, and push jerks.
Versatility: Can be used with various handles (sold separately) to transition seamlessly from rowing to pressing or squatting movements.
Maintenance and Care
Pivot Lubrication: To maintain the smooth-pivoting action, occasionally check the joint for debris. If resistance or squeaking is noticed, apply a small amount of light machine oil to the pivot point.
Sleeve Cleaning: Wipe the interior and exterior of the 7-Gauge steel sleeve with a clean cloth to remove dust or moisture.
Bolt Inspection: Regularly verify that the 5/8" mounting hardware is tightened securely to the rack upright to prevent unwanted play or vibration during heavy lifts.
Finish Care: Use a damp cloth for cleaning the powder-coated exterior. Avoid abrasive cleaners that might mar the matte black finish.
