What do you guys think of this routine?
Handbalancing Practice
5x3 Squat Cleans
5x3 Squats
5x3 Overhead Presses
3x5 Overhead Press Lockouts
5x3 Weighted Chin-ups or Weighted Rope-climbs
3x3 Zercher Deadlifts
3x5 Rack Pulls
I wouldn’t do it.
break it up over the week
is that supposed to be one day???
That would be pretty brutal to do in one day. I would say break that apart over the week. Or possibly if you are stuck at a plateau do it in a day, but be prepared to take a day or 2 off after it. Assuming you are not sandbagging the workout.
I hope that by “Zercher deadlift” they are referring to the actual Zercher lift and not this:
That’s one of the most fucked up dangerous looking things I’ve ever seen done in a gym lol

Technically that is the “actual” Zercher lift.
I would break that workout down like this, if you can train 3 times a week.

5x3 Squat Cleans
5x3 Squats
Day 2 Wednesday
5x3 Overhead Presses
3x5 Overhead Press Lockouts
5x3 Weighted Chin-ups or Weighted Rope-climbs
Day 3 Thursday
3x3 Zercher Deadlifts
3x5 Rack Pulls
Day 4 Saturday
Events ie: yoke walks, farmers walks, stones, keg loads ect.

Move to an acreage or near a junkyard. Have at it. Never use the internet again.
