Zurcher Squats!

If you haven't ever tried a zurcher squat, I highly recommend it.  Here is a video of what we did today:

This hurts your arms, makes it hard to breath and feels as awkward as it looks, but I can tell it isolates the back and hips in a very unique way.  I'm hoping this will help me with my atlas stones, and will generally strengthen my back and hips.

I lifted with Brian and Roger and we had a fairly long workout.  Here's the rundown:

Back squats with pause on bench
     135 x 12, 225 x 8, 275 x 6, 315 x 4 x 2
Zurcher squats with axle
     115 x 8, 165 x 6, 205 x 6, 255 x 4, 275 x 4, 205 x 8
Zurcher squat using black bands
     150 lbs of resistance on 2 bands, 3 x 12
Hip lockouts/thrusts
     200 lb mega rogue bands, 2 x 25
Abs
     75 lb bands, 100 crunches, 80 lateral crunches
Various plate holds for hand strength
     Extra thick 45s, 55s and Rolling Thunder 118 lbs

So that will do it for today.  As always, thanks for reading!!
