💪5 Benefits of the Zercher Squat💪

#1 - The zercher allows you to fully extend the hips at the top of the movement.

#2 - Core Ignitor! The weight acts as a "flexion force" making you want to turtle up. The spinal stabilizers have to work hard to prevent this from happening.

#3 - Since the centre of gravity is lower than on the back or on the shoulders, the weight is easier to balance and the lift is easier to recover if you loose your position.

#4 - Easy learning curve with very low mobility requirements to perform properly.

#5 - If you are a strongman athlete then it is one of the most similar postures for transference to Atlas Stones, Yoke Carries and Conan's Wheel

Special Note - Elbow Sleeves make the pressure on the elbows much more bearable!
