this dude is the inventor of the belly beer press

Aware me on Zercher squats? I've heard of them, but never understood what is so special about them.

They're extremely brutal on your abs and upper back. Its good for teaching people just how tight and controlled you should be on a back squat in addition to strengthening a lot of the potential weak links outside of the main movers.

They're just not very useful for most people, because damn near everyone who does them is going to end up rounding their back and that makes the risk/reward pretty terrible unless there's something in your sport that requires strength through that position (such as strongman and the atlas stones or the conans wheel, which the zercher squat is good assistance for). They also hurt like a motherfucker.

Zercher squats train the glutes better than front or back squats. They're also better overall than back squats because with the weight on your back you can't stand up 100% straight. But with zerchers the weight is in front and closer to your center of balance, so the mechanics are very similar to bodyweight squat.

Looks kinda like a shrug with even less rom.
Even holding up that much weight for several seconds would be pretty hard though

Not as hard as you'd think. I'm not super strong, but I've managed to hold 550 in the zercher position for a bit. Hurt like an absolute motherfucker though.
