anyone seen this squat performed b4??

Nick uses them to gain carry over strength to stones and other carry events.

Excellent overall strength movement. It's like a deadlift and a squat at the same tim.e

I think it might be more practical to use a pad, but pads are for vaginas that bleed.

Zercher squats are awesome !!!

I'd be more worried about my back doing those. You could see the guy in the original vid arching forward. You go heavy enough and you will hurt yourself.

damn! impressive!

Huh? Dump the weight? What do you mean?



500 lbs with straps. No issues there.

When you said front squats with straps I didn't follow. Now I get it . Looks nifty. thanks for the vid
As for zerchers...um....no thanks. If I were a strongman competitor sure.

That's the worst form I have ever seen.. There was never tension his quads, he basically dive bombed, bounced off his ass and used all momentum..

Regardless of goals, that's shitty, dangerous form

Those guys all train like that, their bodys are accustomed to the stress.

It's Oli lifting....which all about momentum and technique....no offense, but do yourself a favor and don't talk about what you have no knowlegde of...

He clearly should have used more chalk on his arms.

Im friends with a couple of Olympic caliber athletes who perform all Olympic lifts, front squats as well, their form is much more controlled than that..

 

[anarchocapitalist]

i've been doing zerchers on and off for several years. as far as im concerned nothing demonstrates strength more than picking heavy shit up. zerchers are hard on the back and a good way to train for atlas stones if you don't have them.

lol you gotta be trolling

his form is fine

 

[bloodshed]

I used to do these often, but I did them from the ground like in the video I'm about to post. The most I ever hit was 315x3 on these. By the way this isnt me in the video.

And ill admit I'm a bit of a pussy and wear a sweatshirt when I do them...

 

[wizim]

Yeah I guess I don't get the most out of my squat sets because I don't have a spotter and I definitely DON'T do that. I've never actually seen a guy dump the weight at the Golds I go to.

i work with rubber plates so its a little more acceptable. you wouldnt want to do this at golds with steel. lol!
btw the vid is me dumping 405. 2 minutes earlier i hit my 400#pr and wanted to 400+. ill get it and some next week. bet on it!

It's really a common powerlifting and strongman lift. Not something I.have.any interest in. Can see how it would help.loading events and stone events
