I'm a vegetarian, so clicking on the video I thought "whatever I'll just check out the leg day" but I was wrong! I'll have to try the recipe as well as switching for a meso or 2 to zerchers, just for the fun of it. Great video as always eugene!
Same thoughts here. I'm not vegan but I try to get plentyof plant based protein for health benefits. Lots of souos with lentils, peas, beans, and I've been throwing tofu into stir fries lately as an alternative to home canned fish. It's good stuff, cheap too.@@timovalentin5688
Amazing! Just this week I thought I dont think I can do barbell back squats anymore because of a lower back injury ... so today Day 1 of Zerchers! Thanks, Eugene and love the format. It's so calm and energizing at the same time! Keep up the awesome work!
man not only do i enjoy your content, i also just enjoy you, if you made a 3hr video of you making a grilled cheese sandwitch and talking about training i´d watch it. sorry for bad english lol
For those interested. If you put the tofu on a plate with a couple paper towel sheets below and above, with another plate above, you can create a press to squeeze out more liquid. Don’t squeeze too hard though. 👨🏽🍳
Started with Zercher a few weeks ago because I saw it on your Instagram. Every legday I start with them. Starting with 100kg just holding it and then starting my working sets with 75kg, 3x5. Sometimes adding a few sets more if I feel like it :D. I love it, full body activation!
Loving this format. I personally prefer the long-form style you have adopted in the recent videos. You are relaxed, calm, and content with the format too, so long may it continue. You are a role model to many.
The physique journey is one thing, but the hair journey is another, and IMO this is the best Eugene haircut yet.... very evocative of 1980s movie stars
Such a wholesome video! I was doing Zerchers today after several years and my last set was 100kg for 2 reps, followed by sequence of exercises after; and after I came home I started feeling sick and I’ve got a 38.7C fever with 110/60 blood pressure and my heart rate kept staying just around 100bpm for several hours. I feel like it’s over training / dehydration caused by new found stimulus. I hope I feel better tomorrow!
Have you thought about extending your knees forward a bit more off the pad during the leg extension to allow for more knee flexion and a deeper stretch on the quads? Hard to tell exactly from the angle shown, but it seems like you were getting only to about 90° of knee flexion and wouldn't it be better to get more ROM through the knees?
I lived with a Chinese family for a while and to make sure we got the water out we would wrap the block in paper towels and weigh it down with a plate. And repeat this another time or two while we prepped the other ingredients. Never thought about the freezing method. Interesting!
Love this new format Eugene - also interesting to see your leg extension set-up follows the latest research (hips extended). I'd really like to do leg extensions but my right knee cap refuses to cooperate 😁.
Hi, Eugene! :) Regarding to traditional barbell back squat, I am curious about your recommendations about the best way possible to warm up (with sets and reps) for big powerful squats. Thank you for helping me in this regard! :)
I just wanna know where you’re getting these pants! I’m digging the new “functional” look you got going 😂 you’re like a Asian Tom Haviland that shows his face 😅
If you can find it, lots of stores sell a vacuum sealed extra firm tofu with no liquid. Ive used it alongside chop beef in stews and even thinly sliced in place of deli meat. Should work like a charm.
Great video. Love the content. Not for not but it looks like your wearing actual pants - not joggers - in the gym. I hate / don't wear joggers in the gym but feel I would wear what you are wearing in this video. Checked your merch site but did not see pants only joggers.
I tried to do Zercher's and after putting a bit of load on, I instantly felt a sharp nerve shooting pain go down my forearms to my hands.. Is that normal ? Do you just "power through it"?
Your last vlog just came into my feed and your content has really amazed me brother 💯 . So calming - no bs - it just hits different. Loved it and yeah I am your new subscriber 💯🫶🏻. Your content is 💜. Thanks Eugene ☝🏻🫶🏻💯
Eugene mate, I'd love some wardrobe/fashion tips. I'm short and stocky and clothes rarely fit me proportionately, wouldn't mind some T-shirt/sweater brand recs etc.
Great video as always, a joy to watch. Looking at incorporating zercher squats into my routine due to shoulder and wrist injuries (thanks BJJ). I was surprised to see you exhaling in the bottom position of your z squat - are you still able to cue good stability? I find trunk stability feels really tied to my breathing so interested to hear your thoughts. Apols if you have already covered.
the fact that this popped out in my feed makes me feel ready to conquer the world lmao ( I feel very inspired to start) is it possible to work out everyday? doing different body parts
Would the wide grip on the stiff deadlifts be a better option for a shorter person too? I am only 5'6" so just wondering if would help the movement of the bar with the stiff leg deadlifts or would it be just down to someones body make up as to what feels better? Want to try work in some zercher squats into my program, like the carry over to more everyday lifting position then a back squat.
Many people classified this exercise as "stupid" As you said ,they say why not just do a regular bb squat or a machine squat. If they only knew how amazing it feels and the benefits it has. Greetings From Texas Mr. Teo.
One of my favourite exercises, my go to for my athletes, to develop full body strength, especially with lots of shoulder injuries. Also a vegetarian, so loving the food
Tofu in soya sauce and nutritional yeast ( instead of corn starch). added nutrients aswell B12, Iron, Folate it high protein aswell. etc. is divine super crispy and tasted insane!!! vegan 15 years tried this it is the bomb
Teo, thanks to your short that came up on my feed I just realised I've been doing the zercher squat for the last 6 months while carrying my beloved old and sick dog down and up the 3rd floor. Today I incorporated the zercher squat in my gym routine with the hopes it'll make me stronger in that position for my dog and for myself as well. Great vid as always!
I love Zercher squats. Such a good back movement. My biggest problem with them is that I've had a hard time not hitting my arms on my legs and limiting depth.
I've been enjoying front squats so much recently Back squats are great but the load on the spine is something to take into account, and variants with less load on the spine feel so much better on recovery for the low back
hey Mr. Eugene. I just recovered from a herniated disc L5/S1, would you reccommend light Zerchers or is it a bad squat variation for recovery? I feel like it has potential, because it puts less pressure on the spine as a front or backsquat, but I'm no expert obviously...
So true!!! Once the compounds are done, I'm like, "whew" now its all the easy stuff from here on out! (sort of). Thanks again, this is really enjoyable stuff. It's nice to get a feel for someone's personality slightly outside of the gym just to be sure they're not an *sshole, and clearly you are not. Keep it comin'!
The voice to music ratio during your intro s a bit too much in favor of the music. I can barely understand what you're saying (mind you I am no9t a native English speaker)
I like Zercher Squats, but have been having difficulty getting my hips as low as you do. I'm 6' 3" so maybe that has something to do with it. Anyway it's a goal for me to work toward. Thank you!
I started doing zercher squats last week after seeing your video, and also because it is Grizzly approved. And they are AWESOME. I did working sets with just 80 kg and was trembling like crazy while doing it. Love your content btw man.

Pleasantly surprised. I'm not a vegetarian, but now I want to try tofu. 😅 it really looks good.
Yay! Thank you! 🙏
I‘m vegan and I had the same thought. Very plantbased protein is rare in the fitness industry ;)
I'll make an exception. You will be invited to the bbqs
Same thoughts here. I'm not vegan but I try to get plentyof plant based protein for health benefits. Lots of souos with lentils, peas, beans, and I've been throwing tofu into stir fries lately as an alternative to home canned fish. It's good stuff, cheap too.@@timovalentin5688
I started incorporating Zercher Squats because of you! The strength gains are evolving! Thank you!!
Amazing! Just this week I thought I dont think I can do barbell back squats anymore because of a lower back injury ... so today Day 1 of Zerchers! Thanks, Eugene and love the format. It's so calm and energizing at the same time! Keep up the awesome work!
Nice one!! Glad to hear it
@@stakuv86I love how it seems more realistic to real world muscular use demands.
I’m so glad you’re continuing this format.. keep it going please… great stuff!
Thank you for the support!

Jeez that's heavy for zerchers. I find 90 to be extremely hard & you're out there hitting 115 & looking normal after. Much respect..

Yeah it'd be worthwhile adding some padding to the ankle pad to get more ROM
Like neo... Don't try to bend the spoon, you are really bending yourself 🙏🏼👌🏼 great tip man thanks
Keep this uuuup!!! And do more eating stuff. The aesthetics are on another level!
Loving this format. Feels like a breath of fresh air. No drama, love the asmr vibe too. Just the sounds of pumping iron.
I lived with a Chinese family for a while and to make sure we got the water out we would wrap the block in paper towels and weigh it down with a plate. And repeat this another time or two while we prepped the other ingredients.
Never thought about the freezing method. Interesting!
My GF's a life-long vegetarian, I'm gonna blow her mind with this one, cheers Eugene. Much love from across the ditch. 🥝🤝🐨
Love the new format!

Doing Zerchers rn as i don’t have a squat rack and it’s amazing. The burn I feel in my quads is insane. Please keep uploading these kinds of videos !
If you can find it, lots of stores sell a vacuum sealed extra firm tofu with no liquid. Ive used it alongside chop beef in stews and even thinly sliced in place of deli meat. Should work like a charm.

i love serchsrhe 24.8.16
them tofu chunks look tasty af
I tried to do Zercher's and after putting a bit of load on, I instantly felt a sharp nerve shooting pain go down my forearms to my hands.. Is that normal ? Do you just "power through it"?
Is eugene stronger than he looks? Or fake weights. Seems to easily zercher squat over 100kg, no bother.
🥲I miss the zercher and the snatch grip deadlift. I’d use fat gripz for my elbow crease.
Loving the new vlog format!! More recipes please!!! Always great when Mom gives a recipe a thumbs up ❤👍
Man,these zeltzers or how they are called,seem like a ticket to tendonitis.Really cool to hit that high pr on those!
Zercher squats are much easier than front squats if you can stand the discomfort.
Agreed
Do you have suggestions on the bar position etc. against the discomfort
Thanks for the video, man! Very informative. Where did you get those pants?
Lost me at Tofu.
Your last vlog just came into my feed and your content has really amazed me brother 💯 . So calming - no bs - it just hits different.
Loved it and yeah I am your new subscriber 💯🫶🏻.
Your content is 💜. Thanks Eugene ☝🏻🫶🏻💯
Welcome aboard!
Your back is insane!!! I know it’s a video about legs but good gah!
Is there any video of yours or anyone else that you would recommend to explain proper setup and technique for the zercher squat?
17:46 Awwww such a sweet moment 🥰🥰🥰
Bro I bought your straps and your ankle thingies lol really great quality! Love that we use the same wrist straps now :D
Glad you like them!
Is it cheating if I put knee sleeves on my elbows for zerchers? 😂
You ever plan to rock that amazing long hair again?
Thanks for inspiration in this video man, gotta try it for sure!!
That jumping was very cute tbh.
Haha thank you
Favourite trainer on this platform
Thank you! 🙏
The deadlift advice is choice! I just did mine this morning and hardly felt the low back. Loaded the hams perfectly. Thanks
Great to hear!
How do you drop the bar if you get stuck in Zercher?
Eugene mate, I'd love some wardrobe/fashion tips. I'm short and stocky and clothes rarely fit me proportionately, wouldn't mind some T-shirt/sweater brand recs etc.
I find the trap bar is great for activating hamstrings and glutes in deadlift
This is sick! Love the difference in content, the variety is nice and you’ve done a great job with the production aesthetic!
Thank you very much!
This is random but ur kitchen is really nice
Thanks!
Love the energy! Keep doing what your doing!
Happy PR 🎉🐧🎉 5:00
Are there any substitutions for exercise 3?
Really enjoying these videos Eugene
Glad to hear it
On my diet app it says tofu only has 6.6grams of protein from 100g. How is this possible? Pure ignorant question, don't judge 😅
Ill try the 1st exrcices next time look benefits
To have a gym that empty what a dream
Great video as always, a joy to watch. Looking at incorporating zercher squats into my routine due to shoulder and wrist injuries (thanks BJJ).

It's not optimal, it's necessary
I like the part where he gives us a reason why this form is better
the fact that this popped out in my feed makes me feel ready to conquer the world lmao ( I feel very inspired to start) is it possible to work out everyday? doing different body parts
Absolutely
Great recipe. I added it to collard greens and lentils.

As a newly pescatarian for a couple of years, I'm trying this tofu recipe. Maybe after trying it I can graduate to becoming vegetarian.
Love to see this type of content from you - keep going with these!
3:05 that is the most relatable thing till date!
This was a nice vlog! I like this format. It's nice to watch while I get ready in the morning
6:10 er OK...
while you were lifting, I couldn't keep my eyes off the fit. What kind of pants and shoes were you wearing in this video so I can pick up a pair
Great content Eugene!
Really enjoying your vids!
Thank you! 🙏
Great tip to save lower back by using a snatch grip during deadlifts!
That back definition when you were showing the Zercher squats 😮
Nice elbow excercise
Was that an epic mum cameo at the end?
😄😄
I love that squat
Love This❤
I've been enjoying front squats so much recently
Back squats are great but the load on the spine is something to take into account, and variants with less load on the spine feel so much better on recovery for the low back
Great evolution of the content with the recipes. Thanks !
Maybe an odd question but have you ever talked about your gym attire 😅?
hey Mr. Eugene. I just recovered from a herniated disc L5/S1, would you reccommend light Zerchers or is it a bad squat variation for recovery? I feel like it has potential, because it puts less pressure on the spine as a front or backsquat, but I'm no expert obviously...
It's fantastic for many returning to squats
Great video! Definitely gonna try that cue tomorrow with my rdls 💪🏽

Tall guy here. My arms jam into my legs stopping me from going low.
Zercher has become my favorite squat variation.
I started doing zercher squats last week after seeing your video, and also because it is Grizzly approved. And they are AWESOME. I did working sets with just 80 kg and was trembling like crazy while doing it. Love your content btw man.
That is awesome!
dude i love zerchers, they feel brutal and super strong - also weirdly good on my lower back, which is always really nice.
Yes!!
Ever record any music? I see all that gear back there.
On the rare occasion. But I prefer just playing
Thank you for the recipe! That deserves a like and a subscribe.
I really like this type of content, it's interesting because it's not only hypertrophy but health and functional training too.
Thank you! 🙏
Your mom is the sweetest. I'm skeptical to try tofu again because i can never get the texture right but ill have to try this!
Good luck!!
Great stuff .. can’t wait to make these for my family .. really digging this style of content!
Hope y'all enjoy them!
