ZERCHER PULL UPZZZ

I came up with an exercise and I call it zercher pull ups. It's exactly what it sounds like. You hold on to the bar on the crooks of your elbows and you pull yourself up. Did a few sets of really quick reps and my back has never been this sore before. Now I don't know if this is safe, this could be damaging my body and I wouldn't know as this hasn't been tested before, so try it at your own risk. I'm just dropping the info here as this could be a good exercise and it'd be cool if it would catch on. Or maybe people will point out why these are retarded and why I should stop doing them. Also, in case this has been done before, sorry, I couldn't find anyone doing this.

shamelessly bumping my own thread.

bumping it again...

Sounds like you're ready for the gas chamber mate.

oh...

Yeah keep it up. Make big face gains by going round the gym asking for great big slaps too.

okay.

You can achieve the same thing with a conventional grip. Just dont use your arms

I mean, it looks interesting but i can see a lot of people slipping and falling, and also it doesnt look too good to your elbow joint. Also what does it train that i cant train with normal pull ups, but disregarding that i might try it today OP, thanks for the contribution

then i am retarded.

cool idea
looks like it would bruise the fuck out of me
but its still a cool idea

will try doing this for fun next gym session lol

Dumb ass. Where can we meet up? Meta data on your dumbass drawing says we live within 50 miles of each other.
Im going to fucking kill you. Bruise you. Teach you a few things.

okay, senpai.

It does bruise a lot, i'd recommend wearing elbow wraps or putting something around the bar

>zercher pullup
>its exactly what it sounds like
This is autism

Clever because it removes grip and biceps from the exercise.

Retarded because it's Jow Forums

who here
/zercher benchpress/

that sounds like a good way to kill yourself

Fuck it, I'll try it. I'll post results.

it would be a zercher chin-up because forearm positioning is facing toward you

zercher you say?

You have no mobility, and essential you just hang there

You should come up with an exercise called neck pullups. Using a rope.

>tie noose around neck
> attach to pull-up bar
> do pull-ups until failure in fear of dying
Great way to break a PR desu

I want to try it but knowing this place it probably fucks up your body in some way.

I'll do some tonight

well the idea is to put yourself at a greater mechanical disadvantage so you work your muscles more. OP didn't hurt himself so his idea isn't full retard ....yet

>desu
why do i keep seeing so many fucking weebs posting jap shit on Jow Forums?

New friend of you type tee bee aych it changes to desu

Get off the Internet and go have sex with your girlfriend, John.
