daily reminder that it was pic related's favourite/main exercise

>>41658845

>>41659337
it's existed for a while. Zerchers are a useful lift to train for a lot of strongman events such as Conans, stones and carries.

Zercher Rackpulls are fun as fuck

>clean and front squat

You guys realize that S/B/D aren't the only exercises on earth right? And they are not the most "effective" ones either. There are a million more exercises and exercise variations that one can use for training.
In terms of the Zercher squat its very useful for someone who doesnt have a squat rack or is just training to pick up something off the floor(like an atlas stone)

>>41658845
Drop the link faggot

>>41660257
Like someone else said this exercise was used by a wrestler and i can see how it can directly carry over when you are in top position trying to pick them up to turn them, if you are a wrestler are you gonna clean your opponent? No because your opponent isnt a fucking barbell.

>>41660269
When will your front squat 8RM ever outstrip your 2RM clean?

Don't talk shit about Karelin nigger, he was one of the most dominant athletes of all time

>tfw my mobility is so fucking shit i cant even get into zercher deadlift position withotu setting the bar on blocks

on the other hand, this movement is super legit for upper back strength / rigid core, so are zercher squats.

If you wont flex your upper back your back will look like fucking quasimodo
try it guys, even with baby weight like 2 plates or something. Its not even THAT hard on lower back, it feels like zercher squat but from lower position and no concentric
