>Light to Medium zercher squats
>Lee Haney style rows

I have never had back pain in my life.

It's peculiar when people without medals care about this kind of thing

>>77284748
Pavel was actually kinda legit in the old days

>>77284748
>meanwhile Pavel now can't lift due to back problems
Light Jefferson curls help me but idk about loading them super heavy

I love zercher lifts but I think people like OP are insufferable faggots and I can guarantee all of his zercher lifts are dogshit
it's a niche variety of lifting and, while fun, there's a reason world class athletes, olympic bodybuilders, and record setting powerlifters use them scarcely if at all

>it's a "casual lifters destroy their body doing retarded meme lifts" thread

Zerchers are for mobilitylets who can't do proper front squats. They cope and say the discomfort makes them stronger.

>>77285370
Zercher is unironically the most fail-safe lift ever, your back is in such a stretched position if you cant carry the load it just sends you forwards. If you fail mid way due to fatigue you just slide your arms etc

>>77285718
if you're an advanced lifter looking for that extra movement to get your hypertrophic goals...ok. but that's a small percentage of people who need to wreck their shit doing these over regular back squats or hack/pendulum squats like a normal person

No

>>77285370
You can do all kinds of shit like that in op or the atlas stones in strongman where they hunch over similar to that and lift quite heavy things. Someone willing to do this will just have to start with an empty barbell.

of course. because it's all the same movement. I don't know what exactly zercher works or how it is different, but I don't really need to because it's a squat. it's literally all the same movement pattern building the same muscle with differences, but like all meme lifts it's some weird tradeoff when you can just do basic squat compound with no weird ass requirement with some isolation like a leg extension

Dont do it

Fix the issue first

>t. snap city councilman

Hate me if you must but don’t be a neutral centrist fence sitter
I hate neutrals

okay I side with (You) don't actually lift and have no zercher lifts to post, you just think you look cool talking about it
zerchers are fun but they pale in comparison to real lifts for 99% of scenarios
