Old School Bad Ass Zercher Squat

my favourite assistance exercise,170kg x 1,id like to hit 200kg by end of 2012,over 40 drug free powerlifter

jesus that looked like it snapped your back but good fucking lift man!

If you don’t mind me asking, but doesn’t that hurt quite a bit to do, or are you just used to it?

Heavy lift. I’ve been using zercher deads to strengthen my low back recently, last I hit was 275x2, bar slipped as 3 came up. Could have had 295x3 I think but it was so hot out the bar was sliding all over the place, even after toweling off the bar and breaking out the chalk. They make my skin numb haha.

Recently started doing heavy zerchers. Theyre pretty rough on the arms.

Went to the gymnasium earlier…to do , zerchers…and, other such things.

Ended up doing only zerchers . Didnt want to do other such things after doing zerchers.

That’s a deadlift.

“biceps”

its no more painful then getting used to a hook grip or front squat holds IMO…do some of you have really pussy pain tolerances?
