Should You Be Zercher Squatting?

[SpMoose]

Solid advice, turns out i didn't like the Zercher squat but did enjoy the digit in the arse. Thanks mate!

Helps to build strength for picking up crates of neutonic

[incontrolcoaching]

Definitely a great exercise, since as you said it mimics everyday activities 💪🏼

Due to nerve damage I can't do traditional back squats I do these and I also use a weight vest a heavy duty one that can take up to 50kgs if extra weight. Works well for leg conditioning

[araven]

One of best core exercises I've found. F the plank😂😂

Kyriakos grizzly casually doing this with 250+kg

I incorporated zercher squats a while ago to my training exactly for the same reasons you have listed.

Transferability of this exercise to real life situations is insane.

I'll be adding this to my workouts! Thank you

hits different zercher squats, and you dont need a ton of weight, feel it in my upper back and rhomboids..in a good way

[BrokenKrayon]

LOVE the Z-squat, very difficult to go too heavy and ego lift, carries over to "functional" realms AND give extra stimulus to the back muscles which pretty much everyone neglects!

I started doing Zercher holds during my weighted calf raises for a bit of extra trap work.

I’ve started doing these for jits too. I’ve basically turned into Craig Ja-hhoness pohhha

[pupper]

So what I took out of this is that this dude likes a digit inserted. Ok, thanks.

It's a lot harder to put a lot of weight on the bar because the elbows are a weakpoint. If you want to lift with the weight in front of you then front squats are better for most.

I need to suck it up and reach out, I need to live a life of service. The hardest part of my life hasent been learning what I good at I know what that is. A chance is what I need

[loovlehcuppatea]

I love love love zercher squats and deep zercher goodmornings with a decent bit of knee bend. Love it

[gokukakarot]

Helps with making your arms go to failure before your glutes and quads

If it weren't for the fact that I already have some tendon damage in exactly where the bar rests for zerchers they would be the only squat I do. Clearly the most useful place for weight during a squat. Been thinking of rigging up some padding specifically so I can do them more.

Personally a fan of high bar ass to grass, but i know people that do these to great success
