zercher squats
Andy,
In Louie's new article on T-nation, he talks about using zercher squats while training his MMA athlete. What's your take on these? They seem like a good compound movement, incorporating a squat with a deadlift, while not having a lot of technical cues to worry about. I see the arms being a limiting factor, but see that there are harnesses that can be used to get around this. I do find it interesting that he doesn't have the athlete doing anything "Westside," however.

I don't really have any experience doing zerchers myself or with clients, so I can't really comment. I agree though that it seems like the arm strength would give out before your hips/legs do. I suppose the harness would be a better option.
