I wonder why it never caught on...

i'm a pretty nice size guy but that looks hard, like a nice case of rectal prolapse if you ask me.  i'll stick to the machines.

Don't see the point of them to be honest.

becuase you need to wear cowboy boots to do this, or the weight will fall on you.

yea, I've just lost any respect that I might have for Zercher, even if he is doing okay weight at an old age, I dont want to take weightlifting advice from someone that looks/dressed like that.

this guy was around in the 30's

They're used still by Strongman lifters. They transfer over well to things like the stones, Conan's wheel, yoke, etc.... The main problem is forearm pain, if you have a thick bar handy, use that, it helps.

Zercher is probably 70 plus years old in that photo and definately unjuiced. He could probably have made a bitch out of most lifters 1/2 his age. Just a thought.

I swear this happened on a sunday doing legs with the old guys - he prolapsed and didnt even realize (or refused to)

until we reached to one leg ham curls - someone asked where the paint was he sat in - but no where in the gym is shit painted red

fckn bleed thru his draws and his sweat pants - smelled like ben gay, skin bracer aftershave, blood, and asshole juice

he does one-legged squats with the twinks now

yep

Zerchers especially high reps are brutal. I did a 405 single last week. Dont think I could do much more.

I prefer  ''only if you want it to be squat " for overall mass.

[HTexan]

u think?

yup, i doubt people want to wear cowboy boots in the gym

Yes, but then not only do I need Parrillo to come rub his pelvis up against my rear whilst I squat, but also need the special stabilizing equipment pictured.

hahaha why would any one agree to this photo shoot ?

[Figo]

Dennis Newman, Bob and others did lots of pics for Parrillos book, stretches, training, etc.

very concise, informative reading.

the pics...only gay if...

i would never let any one in a million years spot me while squatting , thats what the safety bars are for
