Zercher Squat for Women

Zercher Squat

  1. Hold the bar in the crooks of your arms—tightly against your chest.
  2. Keeping your lower back arched, lower your body as deep as you can. Initiate the movement by first pushing your hips back, then bend your knees. Pause, then reverse the movement back to the starting position. 

Tip You can use a bar pad or a rolled-up towel for cushioning
