Hey Ballerina, für was genau möchtest Du das Dingens benutzen?
Um mehr aus KB/KH rauszuholen?

Scheint ganz witzig zu sein, aber bei den Preisen dreht sich einem ja der Magen um, was meinst Du zu dieser Kniebeugenvariante:

I received the most benefit from the zercher squats,good mornings and the reverse hypers(in the SQ and DL. These greatly strengthened my lower back.

MB: I have heard recently that some WSB lifters are no longer doing Zercher squats. Is this true and why the change?

BY: Zercher squats are a great exercise. The problem is when you get to a certain strength level it becomes difficult to hold the bar in the arms. We have had 22 800 pound squatters and the weight they can use in the Zercher is pretty high. So, the problem was we were testing our ability to hold the bar instead of the squat and deadlift muscles.
The zercher squat, although uncomfortable on the arms at first, almost forces you to squat w/ good form because of the position of the weight.

Name: Zercher Squats

Category: Max effort, supplemental

Muscles Targeted: Hips, low back, hamstrings, glutes

Exercise Description: This is a great exercise to build your deadlift and teach you to maintain proper position when squatting. Because of the position of the barbell, it forces the lifter to maintain tight abs, an arched lower back, and proper chest position.

Begin by placing a bar in a power rack just below your armpits and unrack it in the crook of your elbows. Keeping your back arched, stomach pushed out and chest up, squat back until your thighs are parallel to the ground. Make sure to keep your elbows and arms close to your body. A shoulder-width stance is usually used.
