Still got a little bit of strength Member 400, 22042 posts | I know guys have got hurt on Conan's wheel, but that's different. That involves walking in a circle with a bit of kit that's often swinging about. The bar can be very thick too. | ||

Still got a little bit of strength Member 400, 22042 posts | I've started PB charts on page 1 Although I've done a 199 zercher lift I lifted it onto my knees from stands, so I can't count it. Tell me your PBs and I'll stick them on! | ||

I work as a boner Member 3115, 490 posts SQ 240, BP 140, DL 300680.0 kgs @ 132kgs Eq | Wayne_Cowdrey said: I think of a zercher squat as a "front squat with added benefits". Back muscles have to work due to the position of the weight, which is trying to pull you forwards. No direct loading of the spine, unlike back squats. Safe exercise, which effectively works the legs/torso. I started doing them when my back was injured and fell in love with the exercise Going to give these a go this week as front squats always feel as if there going to roll down my chest. | ||
