Показать описание
315 one-arm Zercher Deadift! I haven't been able to find record of anyone doing this particular lift with more weight! It isn't a competitive lift* in any organization I'm aware of, but I also didn't just make it up myself.

I know some stout fellows have seen this lift; shame on them if they haven't given it a shot.

If someone else has done more, please let me know and I'll shoot for 5 lbs over whatever that guy did. Competition is fun. Until then it's good to be king of my own tiny kingdom.

Why do this at all? Great and unique lat forearm and hamstring engagement. And to make the "Zercher squats are sub par because you are limited by what your arms can hold" crowd look silly. I know my arms aren't going to be the limiting factor in my Zercher squats.

Give it a shot, see how much you can lift!

*There's a similar lift in All-Around Weightlifting that starts with a conventional deadlift to the thighs, but I haven't tried that yet.
