Did you take the Zercher squat pill yet, anon?I remember the day I took that pill. I remember the day after all my snarky, mean, and rude comments about the Zercher squat, I said to myself, "Just a few reps to see what this is all about."And then I saw the light. Lo and behold: the ultimate, the most functional, the most applicable to your ordinary day to day life lift. As soon as I put the barbell down, I started to cry in repentance. By insulting Zercher squats, I had committed a sacrilege without knowing. To redeem myself, since that day, Zercher squats have become my main lift, my #1, my joy, my guiding moonlight.Thanks to the Zercher squat, I lifted and carried my dad (85kg) when he hurt his ankle. While carrying him, I also did some reps with him to show how his son became strong and enlightened by the Zercher.Thanks to the Zercher squat, I can carry and do some reps with my 9-year-old twin nieces, the cutest things on earth. While they smile and laugh with joy, I also strengthmog my brother in law ,that useless piece of shit, lazy bum and remind my sister of her gravest mistake in marrying that fucking slob.And best of all, thanks to the Zercher squat, I can pick up my gf (49kg) whenever I want, wherever I want, and do long endurance sets. At first, she was screaming at me, but now she comes to me while giggling, opens her arms in anticipation, and says, "ZERCHER ME, ANON, COME ON!" God, I love this woman.The Zercher squat is a free and responsible man's squat. Only a slave readying himself to carry bricks for his master's pyramid as a pack mule would do normal squats. (Except if you're training for a competition etc, but you're not.)
Can you really take a shit like that? Cool, bro!

>>77299511Saar, you jest. Proper shitting form requires one to go lower
>>77300094You need to teach me
The only people who write like this about Zercher squats are faggots who can't do heavy Zercher deadlifts.
>>77299478I love zerchers, both squats and deadlifts. I don't love them so much to write something like this and I don't secretly hate them enough to write something over the top like this as a bizarre way of making them seem retarded either>>77299657They're a different movement than front squats, not really comparable. Closer to deadlifts or RDLs on the pure hinge/pure squat continuum, but having the weight so far forward lets you kind of wedge yourself under and around it to get into a deep squat even if your mobility sucks, like with goblet squats.
>>77299511>>77299657Slaves, do more squats for your master. He demands more from you mules.>>77300191Fair enough>>77300208You're not as enlightened as you think. You should repent more, do more Zerchers, and beg for forgiveness.
>>77299478How the fuck do you do this without hurting your arms more than your legs?
>>77302225It has little to do with arm strength and doesn't impact the arm muscles very much. The skin on the arms gets irritated for the first few weeks and then you get used to it. You're not bicep curling the weight the whole time, just holding the arms closed so the weight doesn't roll off. Try them sometime and you'll see what I mean.
It's awkward because your arms have to go somewhere like you can see in the pic his elbows would hit his legs.>>77302225>>77302234Your arms can withstand and hold a shit ton of weight surprisingly and it doesn't do damage. Other than when I did these some year ago my arms developed "fat tumor" like there was a pea sized ball under my skin which was clearly fat. It just disappeared afterwards.
