Did you find they helped your deadlifts? Now that Chris Jenkins has dissapeared, do we have any big deadlifters on the board? |

Infact, what is a zercher squat? ______________________ http://WWW.HulahoopsAreAQualityCompleteProteinSource.Com |

Posts: 2,622 Rep Power: | Re: Racks Deads and Zercher Squats Zercher Squats are supposed to improve where you have problems getting the weight off the floor. Once I have the weight off the floor I'm fine through the ROM. Its just getting it off the floor... |

Box squats are supposed to be very effective at that. You have to set the box at the right height of your sticking point tho ______________________ Opinions are like as*holes.......Everybody has one | |

Really help strengthen you lower back....but also help f**k it up too if you don't get 'em right!! ______________________ APPLIED KNOWLEDGE, IS POWER!!!

I could imagine they would be difficult to do with a heavy weight due to the way you hold the bar. ______________________ http://WWW.HulahoopsAreAQualityCompleteProteinSource.Com |

I do these because I was advised to because of my shape and my lower back problems. I do actually feel much more comfortable doing these, and I maintain a better form thoughout the ROM. ______________________ http://WWW.HulahoopsAreAQualityCompleteProteinSource.Com |
