Regardless of goals, that's shitty, dangerous form

His form was actually spot on, that was a fantastic lift

Good depth, but I would try to slow the descent

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..

He is 100 percent in control, he was moving fast on the eccentric but his body controlled the speed, he did not just throw himself down. He knows how to make his body move the bar in that fashion. if you notice the part where he went really fast on the eccentric was to break parallel. That is to right way to do it ,to break parallel with speed so there is a stretch reflex coming back up, he is all about being explosive, there is nothing controlled about Olympic lifting but that does not mean he is not in control of what he is doing, he very much is

i knew a guy in prison who'd do zercher squats... actually zercher deads, since he'd pull the bar off the floor cradled in his arms with 455lbs every week. 10-15reps. did this with a thick bar too. dunno if it was 2 or 3 inch. (our prison still had iron, and powerlifting meets.)

For strength purposes, a fast yet controlled descent like that is just fine.

I do these once in a while.

Long sleeve heavy sweatshirt and some foam pipe insulation for padding.

love zerchers. I can get a much deeper olympic style squat out of them than I can with fronts or traditionals. I wear to layers of sleeves on my elbows to keep it a bit more comfortable. love them! but nicks video is stupid strong.
