I remember that day, it was sickening.
If you have access to a fat bar, I would try using that. It won’t really help with the pain at all, but I have found it doesn’t slide as much as the normal barbell. I would not use towels or boards or anything like that because they tend to slip around when it gets heavy, which will really throw off your balance. To a large degree, I think the pain is just something you have to deal with if you want to do this exercise.
I have only done them a couple times, but I did them with a sleeveless shirt and did not have a problem, and I am not a big guy with big arms. I felt it a little bit, but nothing serious. It’s a good exercise so I would just suck it up.
wow seriously nice lift mate

PS nice work bruno, you’ll be repping that shit in no time at all.
Thanks guys. Honestly, that video was my second time doing zercher squats, and I have not done them since. I have, however, experimented with several zercher variations that I really like.
The first is zercher reverse lunges. I never really like regular reverse lunges but this puts a lot of emphais on the quad, which is my goal with them (plus the added benfit of core work).
The other thing I have played around with is Zercher Bulgarian Squats. I REALLY like these too. It really puts the stress right where I want it on the legs, and it requires a ton of stabilization. I have been recovering from a knee surgery, so that is important to me for rehab purposes as well.
