Hi Everyone,
I have mentioned Zercher Squat being a variation of the traditional squat holding a barbell at the back.
Now that I am feeling confortable executing it, I am moving forward adding zercher reverse lunge to my routine.
Has anyone tried this? Please share your thoughts.
What do I like about the Zercher hold?: it hit my core like there is no tomorrow. Specifically the upper part of my
leg. which is part of core
. Yes my hipflexor also get some work there. I love what it does to my overall mobility too.
Here below is a clip and a brief explanation:
To set up a bar, a rack is better. Alternatively one could place the loaded barbell on top of 6 to 7 step risers.
This advanced exercise is not for everyone.....Anyone with tennis elbow could feel discomfort holding the barbell.
This hold is recommended to anyone experiencing shoulder inpingement or any mobility issue lifting the barbell over
the head.
This exercise works your…
Glutes
Quads
Hamstrings
Inner thighs
Upper back
…but the real star? Your CORE.
The alternating reverse Zercher lunge is one of my favorite underrated moves because it builds strength, stability, and coordination all at once.
It’s INSANE for your core because your abs have to work overtime to keep you upright, resist folding forward, and stabilize every rep.
Strength + stability + muscle in one move.
