zercher squats from floor

[goma3]

Are people seriously criticizing Timba's form. who BTW is one of the fittest people on youtube (and probably anywhere else)?

The stuff this dude does on a daily basis would make 99.9% of athletes jealous.

Number 1 rule in training: never listen to someone in worse shape than you.

Fortunately, there's a good solution: post a video of yourself doing "good form" zercher and let's see how you handle criticism.

[arthurfoxshot]

these bad motherfuckers are brutal !

[youngsid919]

I can't believe people say these squats are horrible. The form it forces you to have is a lot better than a regular squat. Especially when you rest the bar on your quads it forces you to be parallel.

[massivewhopper]

@youngsid919 I think people say they are horrible because they shred your forearm/ elbow crease, unless your a hard bastard

[Mattharmon1000]

Front squats r better for the quads

[2012rajkumar]

This is worst form of SQUATS I have ever seen ...Guys don't follow this, invitation to enjury..

[stevencage89]

wots the point of this squat when u cant even concentrate properly on your quads

[zarol95]

hey man ive seen lots of video from u.. just wonderin if u can tell me how can i stabelise my back when doing zercher..? im still 15.. my max for zercher was 135kg n i tried heavier weights n i did like u put the weight on knees but lol i fell backwards haha... i always put it on my belly then switch to elbow.. so yeah... how did u do tht i mean stable without falling.. peace

[AndreeAsencios]

Zercher squats are only for real man, and are harder than high bar or low bar back squats, so people who talk shit about this lift are only keyboard pussies.

[saiyaniam]

I've tried these before, and I would Imagen the main thing they will do is damage the veins in your forearms. Why not use some padding?

[farmerswalk02]

@saiyaniam damage the veins in your arms.....lol.... Sac up and get out of your planet fitness.

[saiyaniam]

@farmerswalk02 I don't go to "planet fitness", I think having that much weight on your arms can damage your veins. But you keep doing them and prove me wrong.

[emantabrizi]

Could you please explain why you squat with the bar in front of you instead of on your back? Thank you!

[anuragsharma08]

@emantabrizi it is an assistance lift. it throws the center of gravity in front of you and forces you to maintain the upright posture thereby working your core and quads a lot more. no need to go as heavy coz these are just assistance lifts for the back squats.

[PacificSurgeNJ]

Did that hurt? The motion looks like it's more harmful than beneficial

[keenansmith1965]

I swear I thought you were gonna turn into a tomato man.

[Shadoweprinz]

can somebody tell me what those shoes are called?

[Shadoweprinz]

[triplag86]

@Shadoweprinz

skeletoes

[bishopaz]

nice.

[lifeofsouf]

how often do you stretch

[gatoradesux26]

I love your shoes! Do you do everything in them? I wanna get a pair

[tkbabalu]

Doing these types of lifts will destroy your back and legs.

[superrubiksman]

@tkbabalu he probably doesnt do them often enough for them to be detramental i would geuss 1 to 3 times a month

[Draykid]

@tkbabalu

LOL. The guy who invented Zercher lifts (Ed Zercher) continued lifting to max with no career injuries until he died.

[alithorpe54]

I did these for the first time a couple weeks back with a friend. It's pretty cool. Always fun to do new things. Love your vids man, keep em coming. oh and I just bought some vibrams ;)

[MakeABanana]

Good Job Kane Man

[JasonGreene91]

 crazy

[ThePhezant]

You stepped over the bar, that's 20 push ups in my college ;) But seriously BEAST!

[TlDrTuna]

man that is intense. I was holding my breath for that last rep.

[KakashiOwnage]

Keep it up!

[gorjan18]

strong mothrfuck

[modding91]

what do you name these shoes?

[lusthateenvy]

@modding91 Vibram Five Fingers.

[SenatorJul]

Respect, brah!

[MetalJuggler]

Whats up with everyone flaming Timbahwolf etc etc saying hes doing it wrong etc? Hes more fit than 99% of the people commenting here will ever be:) I think he knows whats best for his own body

[ThePhezant]

@MetalJuggler Fitness doesn't necessarily mean knowledge, I'm not the strongest, most muscular or fittest lad on the sports course that I'm doing, but (at the risk of sounding big headed) I am the most knowledgeable. Though didn't see anything wrong with what he was doing personally :P

[sullyjr20]

you train legs a lot how much do you train each body part per week

[batboyjhg]

I tried this with 225 just to see what it felt like and I gotta say it's just too painful to be able to do 3 full sets of 8-12 with. I can only imagine how hard it would be if I upped the weight to 315.

[eradimatrix]

Monster.  Good job.

[sthegameisover]

great workout i sometimes do it to change things up but can i ask what your diet is like right now?

[SuperSawyers]

Looks painfull... :P

[sensaiyoshi]

OMGAWD

HE LIVES ONCE AGAIN!!

NEW VIDEOS!!

this man inspires me...keep up da work mate

[jadsuckme]

Can I ask what the point of this is? Does it incorporate your biceps more?

[11muscleman11]

@jadsuckme Whats the point of you @jadsuckme? you tryhard. You suck cocks little man

[ProstigeWorldwide]

@jadsuckme lol at you

[neoi78]

@jadsuckme hhahahahaha ur an idiot. only retards train their biceps. the zercher squat is a squat variation that incorps. more of lower back/abs in the way of stab. muscles

[jadsuckme]

@neoi78 Dude calm down. I was simply trying to understand why you couldn't just do normal squats, also your watching a video of a man who does train biceps. There is nothing wrong with wanting to put on weight all over your body and looking good in the process.

[Anarki23x]

Lmao! 2plate!!!1

[primalenergy]

Nice. I wished you posted up more workouts of a longer duration. I like what you do and appreciate the posts though. Best wishes and good training

[ZeroTechSkilz]

WoW, very impressive.

[Samuraiul1]

what useless shit

[hypnos315]

doesn't that mess up your elbow joints???

[kungfuman82]

How fitting that the related videos that pop up after this one feature the X-Men. :-D

[mrj0h]

what are the benefits of doing zercher squats compared to normal squats ?

[bentheballer]

@mrj0h more emphasis on quads, also easier to balance for beginners to lifting

[bentheballer]

@bentheballer p.s. awesome lift kane, thats far from lightweight!

[Godblesseveryone4]

That is not easy kids even with one plate.

[darles1118]

idk wha is so special about this vid bro?

[BLADE4ISHERE]

super hero shit.

[Creammacker]

does your skin tear at all from these? they look great to increase core strength

[foppburgur]

godlike

[FenderTelecast]

You're a beast man haha that shit is ridiculous

[1TU3]
