    Ed Zercher was never in prison. He was a guy with a dungeon basement gym that invented this lift since he didn't have any racks.

    Just bought one of these sweet bars. I'm a personal trainer and I have been teaching the zercher squat to my clients to help teach them proper squat depth. Has been extremely useful even for beginners since its only 25 lbs.

    Why is this video so wrong?!?
    Ed Zercher was a lifter in the 1930s-50s who invented the lifts. He did everything from the floor, no racks.
    You should be able to zercher the same as your front squat, and some guys will do huge weights with these.

    An honest question for the group: I'm 55, about 5-7, 200. This looks like a very challenging lift, and I think at my gym, I'd have to start this lift from the floor. Is it worth it? I deadlift (well, trap bar dead lift, for the most part) and I squat, but this looks particularly challenging, and I worry about injury. Thanks in advance for any input!

    • @Leo-pg6lt
      @Leo-pg6lt Рік тому

      I wouldn’t Deadlift it off the floor. I do it and it’s really taxing mid back. I’d do the Zercher lift where you deadlift it halfway up rest it on your knees and start from there

  • @kroytjhio3847
    @kroytjhio3847 5 років тому +7

    I thought that the proper form was to squat so deep that you get the bar to your knee level, in front of your knees

      @matsuwd-emethdaath4002 4 роки тому

      You dont need to do that if the bar is on pins in a rack...off the floor may be something different😁👍

    Pretty sure seasoned weight lifters would start 315 as warmups 😂
