@@jotr.9786 yes I understand that concept. I used to only use the back squat variation. Now that I've added zercher squats to my program I have been seeing it help with other tasks involving holding heavier things such as peculiarly shaped objects with my biceps
Combat medic here. When you're doing a casualty drag for more than a couple feet you really wanna get your arms deep under their armpits and get a tight gable grip as low on them as you can, usually about belly button level. Then when you lift you wanna lift them as high as possible and sorta walk them forward a tad so that their knees lock out. Once they're in this position, even completely limp and unconscious, they kinda stand themselves up and it makes it far easier to move them a meaningful distance.

It's like a front Squat on steroids. Better back activation, easier to understand for people who can't coordinate back squats yet, and more applicable to how you'd lift things on a day to day basis @@briansylvester9982
Yes, it’s true. If all you care about is pure muscle growth, your muscles only know one thing - Tension. And you can direct more targeted tension to your legs via “regular” squats. But, if that was the only goal, why squat at all? You can direct the MOST targeted tension via leg extensions, curls & thrusts. Squats as a whole are inefficient by that definition because you’ll always be fighting systemic fatigue. There’s more to training than just size. Even if that’s your only goal (which is totally cool), the total body coordination and strength gains you’ll get from the zercher position is tough to beat. I use zerchers because it feels incredibly natural and comfortable for squats, it strengthens my upper back and my legs still get a fantastic stimulus from it. As much as I like zerchers, you DON’T have to do them if they don’t fit your goals. But if you’re curious to try, here’s some starting recommendations 👇🏻 1. Use it on lighter exercises like split squats or lunges to get used to the position. 2. Try static holds or marches with heavier loads to condition your elbows & back. 3. Wear a sweater or wrap some thin padding around the bar. Just be wary of using too much padding as the bar will be more unstable and the weight will be further displaced from your centre of mass
How do zercher squats compare to traditional front squat? I figure they would stimulate the muscle in similar ways given the load is at the front of your body?
Front squats would be better honestly, the POINT OF SQUATTING is not just for muscle growth but strength growth. Thats the point, this feels like you just wanna be cool looking
Oh yes man! My dog is 14 and besides the age he's got bone cancer and he's having trouble walking. I've been carrying him down the 3nd floor and up after his potty time for the last 6 months now. I just only started doing the Zercher because I realised it's the exact same position I've been putting myself into and it'll be a good way to become stronger for my doggo
@@luhole it's still funny when I think about, holding onto my still roll packed mattress with my sweat on the slippery plastic packaged, catching my breath mid way at the stairs thinking I'm not gonna do the walk of shame if my mattress fall back to starting point.🤣
People who are obsessed with "optimal" lifts must spend a hell of a lot of their time very stressed out. 99% of what goes on in a gym isn't "optimal". It doesn't matter. Any lift is better than no lift and not everyone has the same goals as you do. What I find hilarious is the dudes who claim to do everything optimally but still spend 4 hours per day in the gym. Anything more than an hour is junk volume, that includes warm-up and stretching.
Dumb question from a noob, what if you lift to failure on 6-15rep range? Takes longer to recover from each set while simultanously do a 3day/week program of fullbody? Would it still be considered junk volume if you in there for around 2hours?
@@obamaibnbahish5680 It depends on how long it’s taking to recover. Standard rest periods for a low rep - high weight set is 2-2.5 minutes. If you’re taking longer than that I’d consider putting some work in on cardio and higher reps to improve your endurance. Training to failure on every set is generally less effective. Muscle growth stimulus occurs before failure so by going past that point all you are really doing is making the next set less effective. If you really need that feeling of utter exhaustion just go to failure on your last set. Dr Mike talks about volume a lot on his channel.
@@GameDeveloperTraining atm im on month 2 of weight lifting, what im currently doing is progressively overloading until i plateau hence why ”every set to failure” (or in or around failure) since im still rapidly growing in strength. But it tires me physically since I frontload every workout with one or two compound movements then move towards more isolated excercises. I take between 4-5minutes to recover between squat/bench/deadlift, the rest is 2-4minutes inorder for me to keep great form for each rep. So if my cardio improves will the ability to finish the last reps also improve? Wouldnt that just mean that the weight/intensity is too little? Edit: usually i do 6-8 reps x3 for squat/bench/deadlifts
@@obamaibnbahish5680 2 months in you probably don’t need to be doing isolation exercises. I’d focus on the big compound lifts to build up your foundation and do cardio on off days. 3 full body workouts per week focusing on bench, squat, military press, pull-ups, and maybe deadlifts if you have anything left in the tank at the end. You really need to focus on getting those recovery times down. 5 minutes rest is a long time as you’ll almost completely have cooled down after that time, and if it’s a public gym you’ll be pretty unpopular.
This is not an hypertrofic exercicse, it's very specific and usually used to improve technique. Not everything is for just building muscle as fast as possible
When performing the incline drag (a victim rescue technique) make sure you fully stand, and are not hunched over in the future. The weight, though it may be light, and posture will wear down your back. The hand clasp was great, and so was the hook. Some people grab their wrists rather than their hands to get a closer lock on the victim
Just do barbell squats and bicep curls and you will get better work for both parts. This exercise is gimmicky bs. There is nothing functional about this as functional training is not a thing. The only way to get better at a function is to do that function.
Ive been doing this movement picking up heavy boards of the floor at work, very natural feeling, tho im starting with forearms close to the ground to load. Its cool when you find exercises that help in everyday life
@@codyhorn3789 and if you have to, zürcher squats will do exactly zero benefits for you. as lifting weights carries over to exactly nothing but lifting heavier weights. Functional training is not a real thing. The only way to get better at function is to practice that function.

Functional training is not a thing. Weight lifting only makes you stronger and better at lifting weights. In order to get better at a certain function you need to practice that function. This variation is useless for the legs as your arms can’t hold up enough weight for your legs to get solid work. Do bicep curls and back squats and you will get both better results for both parts of this movement and it will be safer for you.
