A place to talk about fitness and health on Farcaster.

Just for fun, did another set of zurchers with a 35lb kb on the left side and a 53lb on the right side (because I’m short on plates) this is 273lbs 

Why? Because you need to be strong in any position your body can get into, not just the perfect positions

wait what form of exercise is this?

i don’t do my deadlifting that way

I wish! I’d need to be moving more like 400-450 here to be in the same strength league as those guys for my weight. I focus my efforts on functional strength that saves me from injury or gets me out of scenarios that would otherwise hurt me when I’m in the backcountry and nobody is around to help or save me type things

273 LB dude you should be weightlifting in the olympics

I could feel my back going out watching this

we’re in a new internet with blockchain tech.

There’s stress in all of the lifts, the type you’re going for is how I would think about the lifts

is there any difference between elbow-joint lifting vs lifting with your palms. i'm thinking your back might handle some stress in elbow-joint lifting but curious to know

None, I’m 43 and my back feels solid because I train it to be. I definitely recommend these, I also definitely recommend working with someone or somewhere that has people who understand these lifts. Core strength is paramount, I couldn’t do this if my core wasn’t already overly capable of this load, I say overly because it can’t be your weak link or it will go into your spine. Start with an empty bar or even a lighter training bar. Feel where the tension is showing up, feel where exhaustion of the muscles shows up. Go light because you do not want to learn this feeling with weight

I’ve honestly been hesitant to try Zurchers because of how the back curves during the lift. Do you experience any significant back pain afterwards?

Not enough plates 🤷‍♂️ I’d balance it out if I could, but also the point is don’t let the idea of imperfect equipment be your barrier. Life is imperfect, we pretend it’s not in the gym

Are you supposed to be doing uneven weight?
Or you have a reason for that

I have to find a balance point so technically the weight feels the same on either side if I balance it right, but there’s not a lot of bicep going into this lift other than to just not let it drop and with your elbow former an angle more acute than 90 it’s pretty easy

Won’t this imbalance be dangerous ?? 

You don’t want one bicep growing bigger than the other ?😅

Yeah but not right now because too much to do project wise

Those look so fkn heavy, if you’ve got these at home do you ever hit the gym?

Ask @subtlerebel.eth but imo yes, just work up to it and focus on control (men and women)

It’s off balance so I have to compensate by finding a spot not in the middle

Is it not balance ?
Light weight or heavy ?

I let the arm skin cries for help get to me on that rep 😂

Why did you drop it?
Is it too heavy 😅😅😅

Wow that’s incredible! Working out with uneven weights must be really tough, and I don’t think I could pull it off. Your goal of building strength in every position is truly impressive. Keep going strong!👍🏻

I did a couple sets at 185 of 1-3 reps and 2 reps at 273, nothing wild for volume, no need to blast your nervous system like that with these

This is quite heavy,how many sets did you do all together?

Nice balance despite the weight aren’t tho
