i do my zercher DL's like this...I start out lifting the bar in normal DL for (with hands) then I lower the bar to my knees with my knees parallel I put the bar on my knees and switch to elbow grip. how you did, from there I go up and back down usually for 1-5 reps. when i want to put the weight down I put it back on my knees and grab it with hands and lower to floor, or drop it if in emergency or something.
TO OTHERS: THIS LIFT IS NOT FOR BEGGINERS AND SHOULD BE DONE WITH CAUTION AND SAFETY.
@muzimuzi its impossible to do any other way.Very high risk and little benefit.There are lots of exercises to strengthen your back without putting it in that position.Some sports demand lifting with flexion like strongman and greco wrestling so possibly could be used for those ,but careful loading.
my max in deads are 350 but i dont do them like that it looks like you're bout to break your forearm in half...i just use my hands and interchange them
hey dude, it's Duncan. I don't know jack about weightlifting, but that looked mental. Good choice of music btw. I think you need a new cameraman though.
Hey mate, I love me some Napalm Death, unfortunately I have to use whoever's at the gym to record these. Must tell them in future not to turn the camera up on its side, the quality goes to crap when you rotate it
Can't wait for the video of your spinal cat-scan that you post in 20 years.

That is so bloody bad for your back. Your strong, but will not be able to stand upright if you continue performing the zercher in that fashion

Yeah. When I first read the church thing,I actually thought it has to do with religion,like some of these who use lifting as a preaching aid. He,he.

What's the thing with this Z-deadlift? Looks like lower back is about to break. Can't be a good exercise for noone?

Fucking hell, Jack. I'm amazed you still have a functioning lower back! Nice lift though.

hey man. that looked pretty crazy. i got on here to see what a z-deadlift was, and that looks like it sucks. how much do you do on regular deads?
jordan62690 4 years ago
210kg max on conventional deads. This was pushing my limits, I have a 137.5kg z-dead that looks much more sane.
SmashiusClay 4 years ago
210? thats about 460 isnt it? thats pretty solid. check out my video of my 200 kg conventional. nice lift on that other vid too.
