425 x 2 zercher squat RAW

[mixer14316]

I've never seen that type of lift before, and I've worked out for well over thirty years. Yes, I'll echo another one or two comments here and say that is quite impressive. Great job man.

[iThiZz925]

raw means no equipment. however that's still an impressive lift.

[MrLbt78]

loooooooooooolllllllllllllllll­

[yeagemk]

his earbud fell out...god i hate when that happens.

[Dazzior]

yo' are monstrer ;) that's lifts rocks ;)

[Mu5clehead]

this aint raw, lol

[BeelzebubXVF]

it was supposed to but the bastard slipped off on the first rep, ended up hurting worse. screw it, arms overrated right?

[OMFGO]

Damn it man, so low with such a heavy zercher, and you keep your back so straight. Whenever I go this low on a zercher squat, I end up doing a good morning... you must have a really strong back, how much do you deadlift?

[Ebuverthebicepcurler]

A zercher is when you deadlift, balance the bar on your knees, get your arms around it then stand up- this is the last ppart of the exercise.

[Godzmarine]

HAHA are you talking about the video with the 100lb guy doing sercher sqats? LOLLERSKATES!!!

[bulldog530]

Zercher squat can really boost other lift totals, if you're into powerlifting.

We rotate between heavy box squats, zercher, and standard squats in our routines.

Seems like it really strengthens abdominal area, lower back and then quads/hams secondarily, if its performed with good form.

[RedNeckJiuJitsu]

Nice lift, man, altho I was thrown a little by the plank at first... Still dang good tho.

[BeelzebubXVF]

yeah, it had a purpose but it didn't even last through the first rep. caused more pain than anything else.

[vinman1460]

I believe there are zercher lifts (what you are referring to) and zercher squats which is what is being performed in the video.

[Ebuverthebicepcurler]

well, that could be true- but the lift is one of the old odd lifts, so why not do it that way?

[johtull]

stfu

[Ebuverthebicepcurler]

Great reasoning.

[Gubernick7]

TIGHT!!!!

[alexgilps]

very nice

[godrocks112]

craig tokarwski sr. says u suck!! watch me on you tube blow u out faggot!!!

[BeelzebubXVF]

how fun it would be if you were in my city. the amount of pleasure i would have kicking your face in would be astronomical.

[BeelzebubXVF]

correction: i tried to use the plank but it slipped off on bottom of rep 1. so yes, i wanted to use it, but couldn't anyway, lol.

[MaxThonder]

When I read the title first, I thought that by raw you meant that you didn't have anything to protect the arms! But you use a plank! CHEATER! Just kidding. This is very good, it seemed to go up easily on the 3rd rep until it rolled off.

[justvampin]

NICE!

[rambo26]

damn impressive, and I complain about discomfort when front squatting (alot less at that)

[senatus]

Daaaaayum. The inclines were impressive enough, but Zerchers with 425...OWWWW! Awesome stuff, man.

[BeelzebubXVF]

yeah, it wasn't that bad until it dropped off the board on rep 1. then on rep 3, it just went rolling down my arm. fun times. still bruised from it over a week later. 495 is coming, oh yes, it's coming.

[qyet121csx]

what muscle does the zercher work out?

i hear the abs then other ppl say the thighs.

nice vid btw :D

[BeelzebubXVF]

for the majority quads, hams, and glutes. abs are used to a degree but no more than any other squatting movement, same can be said for lower back.

[xboxforsuckas]

nice dude...most people don't realize the impact of that type of weight on the arms and back till you try it.

[Jayhawkk]

That shit is awesome man! Any lower and you would of hit bottom.
