Sweet Z-squats!!! I love those things. Do you start from the ground or low rack position or start high?
You moved a lot of weight today!
Missed you big guy. Glad you are back 'mongst the living.
Nice work bun-zilla man! Congrats on the gym at work, wish my work would consider something like that.

Usually start from about waist high in the power rack… Zerchers from the ground? That would be a bitch to get under me thinks… hmmm… I wonder, I may have to give this a try.
Wild man, try the box on the zerchers. I use a 14". Also, give bw squats a try. A set of 50 kills me. I envy your pressing, awesome stuff. Have a great week.
(zerchers)I think from the ground you deadlift it to just above your knees, rest the bar on your legs, then put your arms under the bar and start to squat.

D.E. Squats tomorrow too… I think I will give both of these a try after M.E. Deadlifts… I am looking forward to this…

Yeah… I was trying to picture how to do this, so I looked it up on Youtube. Good thing I did too… would have been funny me trying to get my arms under the bar from the floor for a zercher squat. Probably would have blown a testicle…

I’ve done that - not blown a testicle - but grabbed it off the floor with my elbows. You gotta drop the weight really low and it’s still hard as hell.

Bunny, I can only hope to one day be as strong as you. I’m afraid I’m starting 30 years too late.
Excellent work! the vids show good elbow extension - which is about the only point of form I can comment on…

The important thing… is that you started. I am sure if I got myself a bike, went into the mountains on it… I would never be seen again. You would have to follow the buzzards to find my bloated carcass.
Running up my bills and jumping to conclusions is the only cardio I get…
