[thebrute]

those fuckers really work ya..if i didn't have a strong core..i would be crampin the fuck out right now!! i only used 135 for 4 sets of 5 to get the feel of them...i really respect those who are using an obscene amount of weight on them..like 225+ maybe..
i like them though so i'll keep doin them. just wanted to say that if i hadn't of came here first i wouldn't of known about them. tb

i do zercher squats, but i dont think i can get down low enough for zercher deads, much less pick anything up....

Awesome bro. I'll give these a shot next week. Did you use a wide or narrow stance?

i used some sort of platform in my gym that makes it possible to do the zercher deads. it used for mostly stiff-legged deads, shrugs, and barbell rows. tb

i tried wide stance for a few sets and then the narrow stance for a few. i really like the narrow stance a lot better. tb

zercher squats im good at. as for a zercher dead, i cant see picking the weight up from the ground. spatts has a vid of her doing them.....from the ground. (i think) either way, it looked horrible/fun.
