I am never wrong
>>75716272i don't understand why you would put the barbell there
>>75716272>excuse me while I just horrifically fuck your tendons up>functionalWhen do you ever fucking lift something like that dipshit?
>>75716280when you lift things in real life do you balance them perfectly on your shoulders?
>>75716280>>75716285DYELs spotted
>>75716272post body
>>75716288I carry them with my hands.... which zercher squats don't accomplishI still subscribe to OHP / Deadlift supremacy
>>75716316if youre dyel you can just say that
>>75716272There is absolutely no good reason to do a Zercher squat instead of a Zercher deadlift.
>>75716272why not just front squat? genuinely curious
>>75716405Can load it heavier.
>>75716411i see
>>75716411>>75716405you also dont make (wrist) tendonitis worse, which is nice
>>75716429>tendonitisSkill issue. Maybe if you were more functional, you wouldn't have such a problem.
>>75716429you can do the zombie or cross pose if your wrists aren't flexible enough for normal front squats
>>75716448Wrist flexibility is pretty much never going to be the issue for front squats. It's going to be lat and thoracic flexibility.
>>75716405front squat doesn't mimic the way you carry things normally
Just hold a goblet, retard.
>>75716692Where the fuck am I supposed to find a 300+lbs goblet?
This hurts my sensitive wittle elbows
>>75716705Hold more of them.
Zerchers aren't that useful. I played with them for a bit, being good at regular squats and deadlifts make you good at zerchers by default. This is a screenshot from hitting 400x11, I've done over 5 for a single with minimal training. I stopped because it was a lot of extra work to not accomplish as much.
>>75716288I don't put them in the crooks of my elbows either
>>75716742The picture did not upload properly, I will take that as a sign from the gods you all are not supposed to see
>>75716411This is just so wrong its insane. There are plenty of people who front squat insane weights. Ronnie front squatted almost 600 lbs, the frront squat record is about 850 lbs. As far as I can see it, nobody has zercher squatted more than 650 before. And just in general there's plenty of oly lifters who front squat 200+kg, you can probably count the amount of people who can zercher that one one hand.
Why not just lift a sandbag? Or a stone? Zerchercels always use the LE FUNCTIONAL argument but if you really wanted to be build "useful" strength lifting real objects, you'd just lift real objects. Zerchers are like a weird inbetween half measure.
>>75716272This can't be good for your joints. Why do these exist?
>>75716272I just bought a safety squat bar because I don't want to do this.
>>75716272Its a pretty good squat. I prefer normal squat. Kind bitch fuck a china dick . I prefer just doing regular lifts.
>>75716754>no you dont get it, the gods are making me not post my body
>>75716921>Zerchercelsthis is meand i do use a sandbag for zercher dlsits been a gamechanging functional lift a few times actuallyyou have no idea how many mires you get zercher dling a drunk guy at a party gets you, especially if they are fat i have a sandbag that i fill with a small handful of sand every week and do zercher dls and fireman carries with
Zercher seems functional for things like MMA/wrestling because it mimics a stance/position you will be in while doing that sport.
>>75716405i find it more comfortable. front squat hurts my wristies and fingies.
I used to think so too until I realized you'd never actually carry anything like that and squat. It also prevents you from loading heavier so really it's mostly downsides. Stick to high bar back squats and deadlifts.
>>75716272Yet another useless meme lift that doesn't accomplish anything, that isn't already accomplished 10 times better than regular squat/deadlift
>>75716272>Load 100 kgs onto bar>Babby's arms feel like dying and I put the weight downHow 2 make babby's arms not hurt and still be able to do zercher instead of just doing back squats only?
>>75716272Grow
>>75716921you can't change the weight of a sandbag easily
>>75716891>This is wrong>Here, look at all of these examples of people who don't do Zercher squatsYou are beyond retarded.
>>75716272Oh yeah
>>75716692You mean do* a goblet? The simple act of holding a goblet will accomplish nothing, in terms of lifting weights.
>>75716272>>75716285This is like thinking improving your cardio by jogging will only help with jogging and nothing else. It won't help with swimming, it won't help with hiking, it won't help with sports. Its the most dyel way of thinking I have ever seen.
>>75717489Oh, I'm growing.
>>75716448>zombie or cross posethat's zerchers tho
>>75716272>mirafitYou will be miring /fit bros throughout your life if you insist on pursuing this lift
>>75716288Yes
>>75716288this is insane retard logic but fuck it if you can zercher squat more than back go ahead
>>757196130 reading comprehension
Name a single object, man made or found in nature that one would carry by placing it on the inside of your elbows.You can't.
>>75716692HARREH POTTAH!DID YOU SQUAT THE GOBLET OF FIRE!?!
>>75719866A sack with a handle
>>75719883You put that on your shoulder and hold the end with your hand, NEXT.
>>75719866Unconscious human.You put your elbows under their shoulders and drag them to safety.
>>75719899If you will drag them like that is easier to pull them with your hands, also either way this is stupid because you would have to walk backwards risking tripping wich can hurt both of you and even if done like you said and can walk forward his feet will be in the way of your making you trip or getting stuck on something and now you fell on his face.The only safe way to carry an unconscious person is princess carry or over your shoulders.NEXT.
>>75719953>If you will drag them like that is easier to pull them with your hands, also either way this is stupid because you would have to walk backwards risking tripping wich can hurt both of you and even if done like you said and can walk forward his feet will be in the way of your making you trip or getting stuck on something and now you fell on his face.>The only safe way to carry an unconscious person is princess carry or over your shoulders.>NEXT.NOT SO FAST, you nigger.It's what firefighters use.Cross the legs, cross their arms, grab the lower arms from under their shoulders.Also, you complete subhuman faggot have defeated your own argument with>princess carry.NEXT
>>75719866Guess how I know you'd get your ass handed to you by any half competent grappler.
>>75716461For me it's forearm length. I cannot hold the bar in the traditional rack position for front squats. I have to hold it in my hands like an overhead press, and it limits by ability to overload front squats. I would do that cross arm thing but I have no rack and do all my barbell lifts from the ground, so, zerchers are my best option.It's "functionality" feels a lot more appropriate if you're into jiujitsu and a strong underhook is an important part of your athleticism. Otherwise yeah it's hardly more "functional" than any squat or deadlift variation.
>>75716272It is a fun lift and therefore I shall continue to do it.
>>75720008>It's what firefighters use.They literally pick them over their shoulders since is the most efficient way to pick up a person.
>>75720018Because you're delusional.
>>75720149Not if you're wearing gear.
>>7571628890% of the time I carry heavy shit in real life it is balanced on my shoulders, not perfectly like a back squat but its way fucking closer to reality than a zercher squat
>>75716405Front squats are quad dominant, zercher squats are hip dominant. So they are pretty opposite movements.
>>75717386>It also prevents you from loading heavierSkill issue
>>75720706Front, back and Zercher squats are all back dominant for me.
