here is the link in time for christmas - I am going to tell my wife to get me this.
We can also do strongman walks and use it as a fat bar exercise for various lifts. The only downside I see is you have to have a wide stance with this apparatus. Tell me what you think.
Yes Pete another log name. I get bored easily. Remember real men do zerchers.
Fischer, I can’t get on ebay from work. I’ll check it out tonight. There is definitely something wrong with us that we want lifting toys as gifts.
Zerchers are the shizzy.
nice work Eco
there is a youtube of Mark Bell super training using a zercher bar like that.
he stands on some some apple boxes .
I can’t get to any of those sites here at work. I’ll check them all out tonight. Thanks
Since you brought them up. I really love the zerchers. I’ll bet half the guys doing them on you tube are pro highland athletes. When I started visiting some of the highland sites I noticed none of the mortals (non-pros) had them in their workouts or only did them occasionally. What, I queried? The reply was basically. "do you have a job? Zerchers are great for the caber and pros got time to devote to them. Most people do lifts more applicable to overall throwing.
Glad you like them. Story has nothing to do with your lifting, you just gave me an opening to tell it. Get back to work.
people don’t do zerchers becuase they are hard, you can’t breath… basically they suck. in a good way. i tell people all the time- “get good at zerchers and front squats” if you can do that, you’ll never complain that squats are hard again.
Harry, your stories are always welcome. You could tell a story about anything and make it interesting. Some of those guys on youtube are zerchering well over 500.
Scott, I’m liking front squats and zerchers more and more. I’m just disappointed I didn’t start doing them ten years ago.

Truth.
I always feel like someone punched me in the gut after a good day of Z’s or F.Squats.
You’re so huge now SD I don’t see anyone daring to punch you in the stomach.
Squats and front squats tonight. See if I can even come close to what Meat and Pete are throwing around. I’ll try and get some videos.

axle clean 105x3,155x3,195x1
squat 385x3,440x3,500x6
front squat 225x3,315x3,405x1
ab roll 3 sets
The axle cleans are tough as hell. You can’t snap your wrists at the top. Almost killed myself with 195. I use knee wraps and belt squating 500. I video taped it. Get it on here at some point.

Yeah. No kidding. I walked out 500# for the 1st time, last week. I dared not bend my knees 
Strong work. (taps foot waiting for vids).
405 on front squats… damn… i guess i have to move up in weight next week…
bastard:)
Thanks guys. 405 front squats felt good but it rolled on me. I think I’m good or 2-3 reps if my setup is better.

Scott, I know it won’t last long but it felt good using a weight you actually workout with. You’ll soon make me feel weak and insignificant again soon.

i think you really underestimate yourself. if you had a serious group of lifters to lift with you would be giving me a run for my money on everything.
I also think we have different priorities. my main goal is getting stronger at the big three. you appear to have more of an interest in body comp. work… not that there’s anything wrong with that:)
Strong stuff.
Thanks guys.

Nothing good to report. Damn shoulder is worse then ever. I may need to see someone about it. A lot of pullups and failed pressing.
