Agreeing with alexwolf here. Except, I'd definitely go with the Soft Sand choice, as it guarantees an OHKO on 4 HP Breloom:

252Atk Soft Sand +2 Landorus Therian (+Atk) Earthquake vs 4HP/0Def Breloom (Neutral): 106% - 125% (280 - 330 HP). Guaranteed OHKO.

As opposed to Muscle Band:

252Atk Muscle Band +2 Landorus Therian (+Atk) Earthquake vs 4HP/0Def Breloom (Neutral): 98% - 115% (257 - 303 HP). Guaranteed 2HKO. 89% chance to OHKO.

Some Breloom nowadays are also running a bit of bulk, especially the Fight Gem ones with Adamant. I'm still calcing to find out if Muscle Band scores any KOs with Stone Edge. I found one so far: Dragonite. This is Soft Sand:

252Atk Soft Sand +2 Landorus Therian (+Atk) Stone Edge vs 0HP/4Def Multiscale Dragonite (Neutral): 83% - 98% (270 - 318 HP). Guaranteed 2HKO.

As opposed to Muscle Band:

252Atk Muscle Band +2 Landorus Therian (+Atk) Stone Edge vs 0HP/4Def Multiscale Dragonite (Neutral): 91% - 107% (296 - 348 HP). Guaranteed 2HKO. 48% chance to OHKO.

I'd assume one would pair a double dance Landorus-T with Rocks, though.
