Overview
The Rogue Post Landmine is a portable, freestanding version of the classic landmine attachment, designed to provide a versatile angled-barbell training solution without the need for a rack or rig. By simply inserting the base post into the center of two or more stacked bumper plates (or 45LB metal plates), athletes can instantly perform a wide range of rotational and explosive movements. Its small footprint and American-made construction make it an ideal choice for garage gyms and professional facilities alike.

Performance Benefits
High Portability: Unlike rack-mounted landmines, the Post Landmine can be moved to any area of the gym where plates are available, allowing multiple athletes to work simultaneously in open spaces.
Rotational Strength: Perfect for developing core power and stability through exercises like Russian twists, landmine presses, and meadows rows.
Simplified Setup: Requires zero tools or hardware for installation—just drop it into a stack of plates and begin training.
Dynamic Range of Motion: The fluid pivot point facilitates natural movement arcs, reducing joint stress compared to fixed-path machines.
Maintenance and Care
Pivot Maintenance: Periodically check the pivot point for debris or chalk buildup. If the rotation feels restricted, wipe the joint clean and apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to maintain smooth operation.
Sleeve Cleaning: Wipe the interior of the 10" bar insert sleeve to remove any grit that could scratch your barbell's finish.
Powder Coat Protection: To prevent oxidation, wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth to remove sweat and moisture. Touch up any deep scratches in the black powder coat with a rust-preventative paint.
Hardware Check: Ensure the unit remains structurally sound and the pivot bolt is secure. Do not exceed the 315 lb weight capacity to ensure the longevity of the steel components.
Warranty Information
Limited Lifetime Warranty: Rogue Fitness warrants the structural steel and welds of the Post Landmine against defects in material and workmanship for the lifetime of the original purchaser.
Finish & Pivot: The powder coat finish and internal pivot mechanism are covered under Rogue's standard accessory warranty policies against manufacturing flaws.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do I need a specific type of plate to use this?
A: Any standard Olympic bumper plates or metal plates with a 2" center hole will work. Rogue recommends stacking at least two 45LB plates for a stable base during heavy use.
Q: Can I use this with a specialty bar?
A: It is designed for standard 2" (50MM) Olympic barbell sleeves. It may not fit specialty bars with non-standard sleeve diameters.
Q: Can I mount this to my Rogue Rack?
A: No. This is the freestanding version. If you want a landmine that bolts to your rack, look for the "Rogue Landmine" or "Monster Landmine" models.
Q: Is it safe for heavy rotational movements?
A: Yes. When properly weighted with plates, the 1.875" solid round post creates a secure anchor. For maximum stability during high-velocity drills, place your plate stack against a wall or in a corner.
