Question on Zercher Squats?

[Drako]

Is there any benefits from doing these squats as oppsosed to other styles I.E do they help with arm and shoulder development due to the way the move is executed?

if I remember correctly, you recently got back into weight training correct?


If thats the case, I wouldnt worry about zercher squats. Stick with regular squats and vary them with box, and front if you want some variety.

Front Squats for the win.

I do 8 sets of front squats followed by 3 sets of hindu squats to failure and the results have been incredible.

Yeah I got back on the horse in jan. Im not planning on hitting them just researching for future prefrence and general curiosity. I'll be sticking to basics for a while IMO too many guys try to over complicate things.

I have done zerchers once. I liked them. Like a perfect blend of deads and squats.

what exactly is a zercher squat?

Of course, zercher squats will get your squat/dead bigger. bigger squats bigger deads = more muscle. Definately another exercise to throw in. I disagree that you dont need to worry about it. The more tools you have in the tool box the better
