At the gym I use at work, within the past week:
Guy doing pretty legit front squats with 225 to around parallel.
3 people (including me) deadlifting at once
There are a few guys there with decent benches but pretty much every other squat I've seen is garbage, hilariously light, or both, and hardly anybody deadlifts. It was pretty cool to see a bunch of us loading bars up and picking them up off the floor.
Saw something mind blowing at the gym - I thought it was completely made up until I googled it - it's called STANDING PALMS-UP BARBELL BEHIND THE BACK WRIST CURL.
To his credit at least he was using a bar bell?
WOW.
On Tuesday, I saw a dude front squatting, but holding the bar in the crook of his elbows down by his stomach. Now, I'm new to barbell lifting, so maybe this is a thing, but it's not a thing, right?
I can only assume those people are thinking their quads, hams, traps, delts, pecs, bis and tris are in such great shape and so strong that they should now start focusing on their wrist muscles. However, in 100% of the cases I have seen, this is not true. But hey, it's easier than squatting.

I have hurt my back 2 times in the past following pistol squats (my only setbacks beside accidents). And although I screw around a bit too much to actually do The Program I have actually made some progress over the last couple of months. So what do I do? Go to a Crossfit box with a guy I know from uni, do a bunch of pistol squats and hurt my f'n back AGAIN :mad:
And sad but true: for every weirdo jumping around in that box you had at least one strong looking guy or girl that actually knew how to lift a barbell.
Yes, Zerchers are real thing. Now whether they're a particularly useful thing, on the other hand... Well, I know Shug likes them, and Karl was (is?) doing them for a while, but I still don't see much of a point. Then again, I've done them in exactly one workout, so I'm willing to be proven wrong.
