In case you don’t know what a zercher squat w fat bar is, here is a quick video. We won’t go from a bottom strap like that though. Just take it out of the rack, then squat. The pins will obviously be set just below elbow height. Use a wider stance, try and stay upright. This will probably bug your forearms because you aren’t used to it. That’s why we are using the fat bars. Still, you probably won’t be going too anymore than around 70-80% of your front squat 1 rep max. Go ahead and go heavy because it’s a pretty safe movement. If you need to fail, just drop your arms forward and the weight falls to the ground.
