Zercher Squat

How to do it

Cradle a barbell in the crooks of both elbows, holding it snug against the front of the body at hip height.
Set the feet shoulder width apart, brace the core, and keep the chest lifted against the forward pull of the bar.
Sit the hips back and down, keeping the elbows tucked close to the ribs as the bar stays supported in the crooks.
Lower until the thighs reach parallel, feeling the quadriceps and glutes drive the depth of the squat.
Push through the whole foot to stand, keeping the bar from rolling away from the body.
Exhale near the top and reset the elbow position before starting the next rep.
