They’re called zurchers, they’re a mostly forgotten lift and they’re fun to show people because they fly in the face of conventional wisdom

A lot of benefits that are complementary, they’re forcing you to train different ranges of motion, specifically in the spine. Highly recommended working up to them and starting light if you decide to play with them

You never want to forget that the spine is an insanely complex piece of biological infrastructure. Start lighter than you think because the motion is probably new in a lot of ways. Maintaining strength in your core is vital to building useful strength from this

All you need is something heavy you can put in your arms and the ability to get low to pick it up, this is an old time movement I’m not very regular on workout posts right now. I’ll do some movement nearly every day but more focus is going into work right now so this is just get in what I can when it fits
