that was a raw lift. a raw zerhcer deadlift. wow

[Bizarro23]

lol man, yeah. Thanks again for the comment. It's a decent lift but nothing wow. I think anyone who can deadlift 365 is pretty capable of doing 315 pretty quickly if you have the flexibility

This will indeed wreck your back. Dunno where this style of Zercher deadlifting started, I thought it was supposed to be like a normal deadlift until you get your knees past the bar, then bend them until somewhat parallel to the floor, then grabbing the bar the zercher way, and just lift it from there (your knees).

But, who knows. Perhaps this is a way... but stills, looks kinda weird with the extreme roundness of the lower back.

[Bizarro23]

Yeah I guess it's not the conventional form of a "zercher deadlift" but a variation. Anyways, back injuries are more of a result of going from rounded to hyperextended then just being round. If it is so dangerous how would you then explain stone lifting?

[hchwrestler130]

thats dumb

[Bizarro23]

Don't knock them until you've tried them, or are you one of those guys who thinks squats are bad for your knees and deadlifts will mess up your back?

[africamarley]

Zercher deadlifts DO NOT EXIST, because if you did them like here, YOU WILL DESTROY YOUR BACK. DONT DO THIS ANYWHERE, ANYTIME EVER!

[africamarley]

Bro don't ever do that again. You're gonna destroy your back lifting the weight up like that. If you need clamps on the weight its too heavy, you almost fell over. You mess your back up your finished man.

[KILLSANITY88]

@jaffacec too funny



[edwinn0705]

please dont ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever do this again

[BJenWrath]

Man, don't ever do it like that again. If you honestly see nothing wrong with your form there, may whatever god you believe in back-hand some sensibility into you. If this actually was a good way to do a deadlift, you would see many of the top deadlifters in the world using this in at least one or two training videos. I know I haven't seen it, I bet you haven't either.

[jaffacec]

if i had to get myself a slipped disk by tommorow or be killed if i didn't, i would do this exersise tonight

[ObliquusExternus]

@Bizarro23 No it is indeed dumb. Simply dumb.. There's a huuuge difference between doing regular, strict deadlifts with good form and doing Zercher deadlifts that basically forces you do use shitty form.. These kind of deadlift will mess up your back for sure. I'd approve on zercher-squats because they are possible to do without fucking up your back.

[viralencore84]

@africamarley I agree. I'll do the Zercher Squat before that.

[wafflecushioned]

I would be scared to do these because of all the weight on your forearms.

[bchrisable]

Solid bro, don't listen to all these haters who don't get it. These are probably the same people you see in the gym that tell you going past parallel on a squat is bad for your knees and bringing the bar to your chest on bench is bad for your shoulders. Keep up the good work.

[trulyheaven777]

@Bizarro23 Properly done squats will never wreck anything, but this is a very rounded back and will, indeed, tear it up. Normal deadlifts, done properly are fine. These, I'll pass on.

[LegendKillerJosh]

@khalsasikh If you are attempting a lift in which you can't have your lungs full and exhale during the lifting...FAIL
