I believe the Landmine deserves more love and should be used more.

Yes, it’s just a tool in the toolbox. But it’s a multi-functional one.

Use it for power, core strength, lower body drills, upper body pushes - you name it.

Setup is easy: Just place the barbell, secure it so it doesn’t roll, and start improving your athleticism.

SAVE & TRY THESE DRILLS.

Basketball Strength Training that makes sense.

Quick look at how we’re lifting with the U18 Lithuanian national team during EuroBasket prep.

We use tri-sets (three exercises in one set) to keep everyone moving, avoid traffic, and make the most of our time in the weight room.

No standing around. No over-coaching. Just smooth flow and smart adjustments for each player.

The goal? Keep strength levels up, keep tissues happy, and walk into EuroBasket feeling good.

BASKETBALL WEIGHT ROOM TRAINING 🏀

Good flow is everything.

No sitting around.

Everyone’s working, everyone’s engaged.

Tri-sets work great for this: lower body, upper body, and one accessory exercise (either upper or core).

The goal stays the same: maintain strength, keep muscles and tendons feeling good, and roll into U18 EuroBasket being ready to go.

In our training, we prioritize both performance enhancement and durability. We integrate upper body exercises like TRX/Ring rows and pull-ups.

Don't underestimate the importance of upper body strength in basketball. Consider a player battling through a screen or grappling in physical contact situations—their upper body strength is indispensable.
