I tried the Zerchers

They were OK, nothing crazy. I was only on 135 so I don't know if the weight was too low but I didn't really feel the posterior chain activation. Really felt more like a front squat than anything.
So you're saying you mostly felt it in your quads and abs?

I need to try it with more weight to know what it hits.

bytch pads help immensely for both Zerchers and front squats though :blessed: Took me years to back squat with just the bar, I'm imagining these will be no different

I was just readin some other forums topics on zerchers and they receive so much hate :russ: they aren't user friendly but once you get over that hump (most people just quit) they are fine. I was extra excited about them because I work out at home and back squat isn't a choice, so it finally allowed me to really hit legs

Why are they no go at home.... no rack?

I think I will use these, fronts and back squats to hit legs 3x/week
