Zercher Squat

- The Zercher squat is the squat variation that allows you to go the deepest.Yes, even deeper than the front squat. That makes it a great movement to build the quads and glutes. But it's also a very solid assistance exercise to increase your strength out of the hole in the squat. - Christian Thibaudeau

Amazing exercise. And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music.
real
Nietzche mentioned
Unreal fucking strength dude very inspiring keep it up! 💯
You need to get out more. It was pretty good, far from unreal.
I came across this exact video today and after doing it at the gym (with a current lower back pain injury from several years ago) this feels amazing! I had to do justice by commenting to let people know
I just came across these probably bout a month ago and love these and now practicing doing the zercher deadlifts
These are the only thing that dont bug my hip and shoulder impingments, but they still give me a huge pump
Hardest and most rewarding squat variation when performed correctly with the right weight. Hammers nearly every muscle in the body
Hammers? It's an isometric move for your upper body and mediocre for the quads.
@@shellytanneryou're just hating all over the place. Wtf is wrong with you?
Doing a zercher squat that heavy is nuts. I’m jealous and now I want to get there myself.
My pr on zercher is 405lbs shit was easy, this is a great set here
Zercher squat and deadlift feel so good
This was great!! Great power!!
Hello,
Are the sleeves at the elbows good so as not to hurt? :) Please.
yes
I see 200 Kg ( 6x25 + 2x15 + 20), is that right? In any case, amazing performance!
Nah, you can read 45 on red plate (on the inside) and 25 on the green/yellow one. (am colourblind idk lol) So it makes 6*45+2*25+45 = 365 which is about 162kg.
@@diesertyp7822 365pound is 166kg
You're right, it's 200kg. Red plates indicate 25kg (55.1lb) and yellow plates indicate 15kg (33lb), plus the 20kg bar.
Don't listen to these other morons commenting...
@@TheExcelsiorFilesClearly its not. You can see 45LB on the red plates. 365lb altogether. 🤡
This excersise is fucking awesome love doing it
I’ve never been comfortable doing front squats, so I might start doing these instead
OK
That shit hurts my elbows lol
Same!! Don’t know how people do heavy weight I only had 60kg on last time and it killed
Buy elbow straps, they help
Are these good for quads? What if i do these heel elevated??
They’re great for quads! Especially with the heels elevated and a more narrow stance!
Yaaaa
:O :O :O
This variation is getting even more popular, but from my own experience it's uncomfortable and hurting especially in where bar placed. Since the weight is positioned in front of the body, it's quad dominant. I would rather to go with front squat.
Great if you've got mobility issues especially in the lower back
This can't be good for the elbows but front squat is just horrible on the wrists.
Torture
It's more badass if you lift it from the ground up. Just sayin.
This is not a zercher squat, bar is on your front shoulder under your chin, this is another variation due to the difficulty of maintaining proper balance perform using the bar under your chin
This is the zercher squat. Bar on the front of your shoulder under your chin is called a front squat.
To much weight
XDXDXD
Horsecockery must prevail. 😎
Too much load on your biceps. interesting variation, but I rather watch someone do it than attempt it myself.
It doesn't sit on the biceps, it sits in the crook of your arm, great exercise.
Doesn't rest on your biceps and is a great ab, arm, and full body workout
And that's why you'll never be a "somebody."
I used to think the same thing…until I actually tried it. It doesn’t hurt.
Why would anyone ever do these? Just because it looks hard doesn't mean at all that it is more beneficial or works your muscles any more fully. If you see anyone doing these they are a gym clown.
It's brilliant if you can't front squat 'traditionally'. I have hypermobility, meaning I cannot front squat using either the cross or neutral grip due to shoulders and wrists dislocations and instability. The Zercher Squat is immeasurably more comfortable and 'better' for me. Don't write people off as 'clowns' because of a certain exercise variation.
it's incredible for core strength and stabilization and can help with front or back squat plateaus due to core limiting factors. I also have clients who are medically unable to place loads on their back or even across their chest as in a front squat so a Zercher squat is a great alternative.
Also very effective if you are a into mma wrestling etc
I do them regularly and the skill came in handy during the COVID shutdowns. I don't have a squat rack, but I have a bar and plates and could squat heavy just fine.
Don't worry guys, i took away his 1 only like ;D. Almost always when something is very challenging, it builds tons of strength too. And no, bosuball tippytoe pistol squats with a sword in mouth do not count. Study more biomechanics, & anatomy, and you will easily find arguments to support Zerchers due to their perks. Why would anyone comment something that stupid, without doing their homework?
Weight?
ALLL the weight ! ❤
