Essential Random Gym Thoughts Revisited...

[TLR Is Mental Poison]

I feel no pain there besides I've seen a 605lbs zercher squat on YouTube and his tendons seemed fine.

You been advocating for these too damn long for me not to try em. Next leg day I will give them a shot

Shoulder, tricep, and chest day. I've been stuck on only doing 12 reps at 225 on the bench for a while. Hopefully I can increase that soon.

Military Press, Farmers Walk, Zercher Squat

These are the holy trinity of functional strength exercises. I have thought about this and see no argument otherwise.

I still don't consider Zercher Squats a superior leg exercise, just a total body strength exercise. Legs are the strong point in the lift, the upper body is the weak point.

IDGAF about functional strength tho, I just want to look good at the pool/beach and keep my core strong and healthy. Been bored with/stalling out on back squats so Im def gonna mess with these and front squats for a while.

I have a crazy idea for straps for front squats... Im gonna keep that on the low until I test it out though....

Going ATG/ bar to knees is key. If your legs and glutes aren't hammered there's something wrong with your form, which like you said could indicate weakness in the trunk/back area. There is more a hump to get over for beginners because it is not a user friendly exercise. I used to get dizzy with 225 and that was just last August

I only did three working sets and my glutes are worked today

Start with 135 for sure lol. Make sure your elbows don't block the bar from resting on your knees at the bottom

Wat kind of stance do u take. Lately Ive been keeping my back squats pretty narrow. That will be a problem with Zerchers I imagine.

Yeah you can't do narrow with zerchers. Wide enough so that your knees and bows don't collide

Thats still wavy, I can stay narrow on front squats and get that variation going.

Sounds like a good plan especially if you have multiple leg days
