Nutri-Sport Training Tip: Zercher Squats
January 11, 2011 by Ryan Irwin · Leave a Comment
Training your legs is one of the best things you can do. Legs are one of the biggest muscle groups in your body, which by activating this large amount of muscle fibers, you have a substantial effect on your metabolism, fat loss, muscle gain and overall strength. The “zercher squat” not only targets your legs, but it also helps strengthen your “core” and overall body. It is a great exercise for those who are leery of putting a bar on their back to do regular squats or perhaps don’t have a squat rack they can use. This can be done off a bench press as well.
Try this at your next leg workout.

In this video, Ryan demonstrates Zercher Squats, which is a very beneficial exercise. Not only is it a great leg mass/strength builder, but it is also great for stimulating the back and core.
