Build Big Quads & Traps at the Same Time (The Zercher Guide)

Tom Sheppard breaks down why the Zercher Squat is the ultimate anterior-loaded lift for building massive quad and upper back strength without the mobility demands of front squats. This complete guide covers proper bar placement to avoid pain and explores powerful variations like the forward-banded squat for posture, stable split squats for loading, and strict shrugs to blast your traps. Master these unique lifts to fix your squat mechanics, bulletproof your posterior chain, and add serious size to your yoke.
