The only thing I dont like about them at this point is that I still feel like I gotta use pretty light weight, I'm up to 165 for 8, where as normal a2g squats i was repping 225. Next week I think ill give zercher squats a shot though, see how it compares.
    i can't go real heavy on zerchers for a few reasons (i.e.: my back is my lagging muscle group, so that holds me back, also, i have a pinched nerve that gets aggrivated whenever i have too much weight pulling down on my traps - my legs can handle much more than i actually do.) i think i do something like 160 on zerchers, while i'm repping 255 on back squats; i dont really care about weight though - some people get too hung up on numbers. with these compound exercises that are essentially "full body movements", i'd rather have slower gains and be on the safe side than end up tweaking my back...again. heh.

    haha exactly. but the real fun in doing uncommon exercises is the sudden trend. after a few weeks you look around and everyone is doing them.

    can I get a form check on Zercher squats?
    are you supposed to lean forward such that the bar is ahead of your knees
    cus I tried them today
    did 135x5 but on the last rep I hit my damn leg with the bar
    I was grunting for 4 out of 5 reps I liked it a lot it was like , a nice lift I think
    how should 'lift off' work for these?
    have someone hand you the bar
    because the reason I want ot do them (other then the good core work) is I don't have a squat rack so I thought they'd be safer but how to get hold of the bar has proven problematic

    you shouldnt need a liftoff

    and the elbows/arms should come down at the inside edges but inside of the legs, the bar will fall where it may if you watch the elbows

    ok thanks for that elbows thing
    so do you just set the bar on the ground and bend down to pick it up from the floor not unlike a deadlift then?

    and the bar dosn't matter as far as leaning goes?
    should you lean forward some or try to keep back like on a back squat in PowerLifting

    Don't pick it up off the ground. Thats a zercher deadlift which is a completely different beast but also a good lift. You wont be able to zercher dead up what you can squat.
    Your back should be a bit more upright then regular squats but make sure you still squat back and not down.

    Does anyone here do barbell hack squats? (not machine)

    Are they primarily for ass? They obviously will work legs too, but Ive never done them.

    Any opinions?

    I did front squats last night using straps to vary the clean grip and it wasn't too bad. It felt awkward at first, partially because I had always used the cross arm grip and because it took a set or two to figure out the best way to hold the straps. I did feel that my form was better, since the bar felt more secure.

    Bottom line: my legs are killing me!

    You should definitely see an increase in your backsquat. How much will be determined if your back is holding you back. The first time I did them I maxed at 350 and the next week i maxed them i got 405. My backsquat went up by about 20 lbs after the 2 week mini cycle.

    Your back should be a bit more upright then regular squats but make sure you still squat back and not down.
    so how do I get the damn bar in my arms?
    should I get a platform of sometype or something?

    and like they said, from the floor is a zercher DL which will be much weaker
    I'd be glad to work out with you sometime if we are ever near each other
    that's good news on the DL being weaker then Squat (Zerchers at least) because I basically Zercher DL'd the bar to get into Zercher squat possition so that means my Zercher Squat will be higher then I would guestimate from what I've done so far

    Are they primarily for ass? They obviously will work legs too, but Ive never done them.

    Any opinions?

    okay for quads, BUT BUT BUT, they can be a real knee killer.

    I like zercher squats, nice and safe if you fail a squat, just drop on to the rack.. I've had a few people warn me about the risks of tearing the tendons in my arms. Anyone give this any thought.

    Front squats I didn't like, felt like my balance was wrong, didn't like the grip either.

    Never tried zercher squats, might be worth a look. for bros that do front squats, how do you grip? If I put up the X so right hand to left shoulder etc I feel an immense burning on my left shoulder (my weak one), seems either way it hurts quite badly vs the back squat.. tips?
