The wife’s super pissed because I keep randomly yelling “IT’S A MINDSET!” and scaring the shit out of her. I feel bad, but I just can’t control it, it just fucking happens. MIND! SET!
well technically zerchers are most practical thing ever...everytime you do something in real life its be probably carrying something...and how do you carry it? if it have handles then like farmers walks but its not quiet often so its more with bearhug or zercher position...and by doing zerchers with barbell you can really overload this type of movement... regular deadlift gives you strong back BUT most of things outside dont have handles so you just have to zercher deadlift or squat them :D same with fighting - if eric is a wrestler he has hard time with clinches or trying to push somebody away or up from ground...theres probably no better exercise for that than zercher variations...its probably very good for strongman too
A note on your conversation at the end, I recently started using a hook grip for deadlifts and you guys doing zerchs trying to find the best way to hold it made me think of it bc the hook grip in general feels horrible to try and use at first but it can significantly increase double overhand grip ability so I think the zerch could be something like that and as Eric said there’s so many cues for common lifts like a deadlift I think eventually zerch grip could be perfected as well
It would be interesting to find out. Outside of robot arm bands, I'd love something comprehensive on dealing with bar roll, because that will fuck up your day. PS-I fucking love Zerchers
jeff malpezzi I think that arm band idea was pretty genius for on the spot, could be designed better for that specific use obviously too. With the hook grip there’s a simple trick to use it without ripping your thumb off a very slight movement with your thumb, might be a specific position for Zerchers that has the same effect it’s just hard to know bc it could feel horrible at firs until your elbows toughen up more And get used to it or somethin idk
Yeah, I hope to find it soon. With hook grip I find the best strategy is banking on nerve death, aka time. This answer brought to you by 5 years of Olympic lifting
I typed this comment with the crooks of my elbow. It's so efficient! Thank you for showing me the way. On a more real note tho, these videos are really fun to watch and well edited.
one day someone will look at me with the same expression Juji looks at The Bugez with. either they will be a stalker, or i will need to marry that person.
Why not both....? I mean ....“marriage“ and “stalking“ don't needlessly need to exclude each other ....... you could just stalk potential "marriage material" .....or go the other way around and just marry your stalker .........just saying.............*IT'S A MINDSET* !!! ...sorry .....sorry .... i was caught in the moment ...
I totally agree with Eric about the coffee drinking. Why even lift if I can’t give it my best. But a good counter argument would be.. what is your best WITHOUT the assistance? Can you reach your best without that aid and how much stronger will u be when you come back to the aid? Very great video. Nonetheless 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Hold the phone. How did those zerchers pullups feel on the lats, because it seems like it's only lats at that point? I need to try that. Weighted zercher pullups.
Shades MN I know, a lot of the videos on this channel are so funny, I don’t know how I didn’t see this channel for so long. And they’ll lift some serious weight in their videos too, and have strong guests over and have killer workouts- all the while being hilarious.
this is liek my 8th time watching this video. i tend to just shuffle play the bugez playlist while i workout at home. Just dropped a quarter plate on my toes.. finishing the workout isnt a question tho. just gotta LOCK IN THAT MINDSET! ... and put shoes on
I just went down one HELL of a rabbithole with the "John Henry" and "Terminator" stuff. There seems to be quite a significant chance that the open speculation of their relation is likely intentional and very deliberate
My back started healing up so I've been lifting again, I've been going hard everyday and after watching juji front squat that's all I've been doing. Thx juji for the inspiration man
Shoulda rack-pulled that playground and inspire the kiddies to grow up into monsters. "Momma, I saw some dude at the playground today, he was sniffing something constantly and then lifted the whole thing in the air, swing too!" "You been reading them fantasy books again, Jimmy?" "No, momma! This happened for real! There were actually three men at the grounds today. They were all thicc AF!" "Jimmy! Let me see those books you been reading."
I'm not really sure what I can offer Eric, Tom, & Juji for showing me the Zercher lift. Perhaps an interpretative dance of what the Zercher means to me.
It was the last thing that was said on the video about Ed Zercher And I just put your name in there. I would completely understand not remembering it because you work out you guys did was completely nutts (in a great way)
You guys inspired me to try zercher squats! I just set the pin height so I could unrack it standing, but it felt amazing going ass to grass! Elbows need time to adjust, but it felt awesome on the hips. Definitely will become a mainstay strength movement for me. Felt stronger doing it than on front squats!
youtube processed this video for 9 hours. I'm guessing because
THE INTENSITY
No lie, eric has a ton of energy. you and tom are funny and this guy makes it better. Great video.great info.
Jujimufu you NEED a Conan wheel
I actually think TH-cam wasn't in the correct MINDSET.
It over NEIN thousand INTENSITYESSSS
TH-cam can't process that much Zercher at once
I love him. Fails a lift. Adds more weight. My spirit animal
Johnny Joseph Funnily enough, I think most of the time he does the heavier lift
Well it’s obviously a fucking mindset
Winner's mindset
My missus' spirit animal is mattdoesfitness because they both moan like little bitches.
He about poops his pants and grabs another cup of coffee.
Ed Zercher may have brought these lifts into the world, but Eric Bugenhagen adopted them and raised them like his own.
Mitch Tate Ed Zercher should be canonized for inventing this lift
Just try and hug someone without engaging the Zercher muscles-- YOU CAN'T. ZERCHER IS LOVE, ZERCHER IS LIFE.
8 hour workout, Rich would be proud😢
right... *whimpers* ... babe...?
really a rest day but best believe I'm gonna hit arms today after that comment :(
Rip
Rip
?
I think Eric might be the most handsome man I have ever seen. I'm not kidding. I'm so jealous
He'd have to loose a lot of that muscle mass to be a model tho.
So handsome OMG
A L P H A M A L E
@@researcher_21c72 because they promote fucking puss bois
Like a buff Magnum pi
Man watching this on a laptop held in the crooks of my elbows was SO MUCH MORE EFFICIENT.
i dont even use my hands to hold utensils anymore, i realized its much more efficient holding a fork and knife in my elbow creases
Tom Boyden WAI USE HANDS WEN I CAN ZERCH
And much healthier for testicles, too.
Fapping was awkward but I'm not a quitter
Eric bugenhagen for next Superman
He'd be a good fit for Lobo, methinks.
I'd love to see a "Bezercher" shirt. Lifter design modeled after The Bugez, of course.
really good pun!
If the Bugez and Clarence both came to Juji's gym at the same time I think I would explode
Evan Colburn not only you. The would, man .... the sheer amount of "INS-AWESOME-NETY" would just break existence itself.
and if tom wasnt there. ooooooh shit man
I don't think Clarence and Eric would mix that well but it would be cool to see
after yesterday's video and now this one I'm 100% convinced those ammonia packs are filled with cocaine
Exccy FFA nah bruv, dats dat medical strenff shite bruv
it's only dangerous if rockso the clown show up Tom.
Find someone who looks at you the same way Juji looks at Eric at 19:32 .
haha
Megaloceros bruhh 😂
From now on I won’t be scooping my creatine with my hand, I’ll only use the inside of my elbow.
I pooped blood after creatin and konditioning, not very fun...
I can't think of anywhere besides your channel that i would willingly spend my time watching one man pushing another man on a swing
The wife’s super pissed because I keep randomly yelling “IT’S A MINDSET!” and scaring the shit out of her.
I feel bad, but I just can’t control it, it just fucking happens. MIND! SET!
@@twerktospec You okay buddy? This is 3 years old, friend.
@@twerktospec A lot of anger, hope all is well.
6 years ago this video got me into lifting and was my bible. Zercher is life
"i almost pooped my pants again", -has another cup of coffee....
Why do we even have hands?
thunderstrikkk ikr just cut them off they are useless anyway
Hands are just there to protect the crook of the elbow.
Going from a current video back to these gems the difference in physiques is insane.
RPE = RATE OF PERCEIVED ED-ZERCHSON
Yesterdays video got me in the mindset! And i put on bugez his spotify play list blasted it and hit a 10kg deadlift pr! *ITS A MINDSET!!!*
vetjoh what’s his Spotify playlist called?
Aidan Macphee not his, but inspired by him
@@bestshortclips18 what was it guys, give an example, I wanna help my mindset
@@dimitrijekrstic7567 Just search eric bugenhagen on spotify, you will find it there
@@onizukapls1488 oooyyy thanks mate
the dynamic between these 3 is so great

Roseta stone carry
Wrestlers like zerchers because of the carryover.
These vids are absolute gold, you deserve so much more subs..
editing is fire, juji is the king, bugez is the guy i want to grow up to be, tom is a god. luv this channel, and keeping up with you guys is a gift.
Right when I don't feel like working out, you guys always pump me up
"Ii felt like a blowfish" - juji
14:08 minute marks the I'm the man moment followed by the best elbow guard throw in history of you tube, thanks to the Bugez, peace.
A Zercher good morning.... or good Zercher morning... or good morning Zercher...... You guys are blowing my fucking mind!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL
Zercher swings, the hot new functional fitness movement.
I don't wanna say it... But I need to say it... GOLDEN ZERCHER
"I love gear"
ZERCHER LIVES MATTERS
Wow, another great video guys! I can honestly say that juji and Eric collabs have been my favourite fitness collabs of all time.
HAHA! JuJi's face at 19:22 up until the ammonia sucker punch has me dying! cant. stop. replaying.
@9:37 The most hyped I ever seen Tom.
The casual conversation on training philosophy was really insightful! Definitely worth watching the whole thing.
Juji pushing Eric on the swing had me dying with laughter!

4:50 when Bugez says hes about to coffee colon cleanse in his pants... I laughed out loud for real.
I like how you have this Tom guy that you push to try new things
Hahahaha "this Tom guy"
Tom Boyden well you look great keep it up
9:15
Bugez: "Watch this strict curl!"
Nick's Strength and Power: 👀👀
one day someone will look at me with the same expression Juji looks at The Bugez with. either they will be a stalker, or i will need to marry that person.
Rachael That's funny
Maybe even both
Why not both....? I mean ....“marriage“ and “stalking“ don't needlessly need to exclude each other ....... you could just stalk potential "marriage material" .....or go the other way around and just marry your stalker .........just saying.............*IT'S A MINDSET* !!! ...sorry .....sorry .... i was caught in the moment ...
What are the respective songs Juju and Eric lifted to at 13:19 and 13:57? The second one sounds like some old school All Shall Perish.
the bugez says what will you do for me? I tought you the zercher. juji pushes the bugez on a swing, adorable.
eric has enlighten me on zerchers so now i train them every morning
Lol 1:48 all the ways to hold your hands Tom chose to literally hold his own hand
And here I was going through Eric's channel. The late upload gave me withdrawals, man.
Juji rockin the phone holster like a goddamn savage.
19:40 how random was that 😂
I totally agree with Eric about the coffee drinking. Why even lift if I can’t give it my best.
But a good counter argument would be.. what is your best WITHOUT the assistance? Can you reach your best without that aid and how much stronger will u be when you come back to the aid?
Very great video. Nonetheless 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Holy shit slingshot for your biceps. One piece of equipment to train bench and curls, gym bros world wide will be flocking to this product
Bugenhagen...
Bugez...
Bugezercher...
MINDSET!!!
Tom is getting strooong, btw your guys content is always awesome, you have such a beautiful way of seeing training..
13:22 Best part with the drop
Do you know the name of that song?
Hold the phone.
How did those zerchers pullups feel on the lats, because it seems like it's only lats at that point? I need to try that. Weighted zercher pullups.
How does one even do that
watching this at 6 in the morning as tom is screaming "it's a mindset", feels g00d man
love what y'all do, very motivational and entertaining. could you do a video or series of all the possible exercises to do on your power rack?
Gotta love the Bugez. Looks like your local pub brawl type of guy - puts glasses on - high school sports and physics teacher!
Looks like some crazy muscle ex-zerch-sion
Tom...are those my pants?
Tom.....give me my pants back, I need them for backflips. I can't backflips without the jujipants
23:50 zercher swing is when Eric found the mindset of his childhood
this video was actually hilarious
Shades MN I know, a lot of the videos on this channel are so funny, I don’t know how I didn’t see this channel for so long. And they’ll lift some serious weight in their videos too, and have strong guests over and have killer workouts- all the while being hilarious.
“Can’t push little ole bugez higher than that?” 😂
I came here to have fun
this is liek my 8th time watching this video. i tend to just shuffle play the bugez playlist while i workout at home. Just dropped a quarter plate on my toes.. finishing the workout isnt a question tho. just gotta LOCK IN THAT MINDSET! ... and put shoes on
Just watched the first geared zercher lift probably in history
When Eric threw the elbow sleeve at the camera, I thought he was warming up for the People’s Elbow.
Can't wait for the Juji & The Buges "Ber-Zercher Strength" program to come out!!
Feel like "doing from the crooks of your elbows" is gunna be a new lifting meme
Jujimufu, to see this performed at a meet and greet with the Zercher family onlooking ft. Eric Bugenhagen would be awesome!
juji + the bugez = fucking amazing
Eric: /does zercher good mornings/
Eric: I almost pooped my pants
Watching this 3 years later and y’all definitely got much beefier and even funnier together 😂
Toms "It's a mindset" 9:56 was as close to the real thing as you can get /10
14:28 Juji standing there like some kind of Frankenstein robot.
God you guys look like you have real fun and get work done! IT'S A MINDSET!
I just went down one HELL of a rabbithole with the "John Henry" and "Terminator" stuff.
There seems to be quite a significant chance that the open speculation of their relation is likely intentional and very deliberate
My back started healing up so I've been lifting again, I've been going hard everyday and after watching juji front squat that's all I've been doing. Thx juji for the inspiration man
this was the peak of juju content

Do you regret typing this out?

Juji that 297 zerch gave me chills!!! Damn!!
fantastic Zerch off guys
6:58 lol that zercher slingshot
If only clarence and bugez would come to gym fort at the same time next year
The pullups at the end had me dying 🤣
I did cambered squat bar zercher squats. Adding Chains is fun. Adding bands is a nightmare. It's so much fun!
Juji is carryover to real life!
I don't even know what that means or the context but I like the ring of it!
It was the last thing that was said on the video about Ed Zercher And I just put your name in there. I would completely understand not remembering it because you work out you guys did was completely nutts (in a great way)
I hope to meet you guys. That would be a highlight of my life bro.
Tom Boyden Thanks Thicc Tom! I hope it does too! For now I shall enjoy yousguys amazing you-poop content.
holy crap everyone really blew up since this. can't believe eric was this..uh... small, three years ago.
14:20 who's that covering At The Gates? Sounds awesome!
TheDave000 fleshgod apocalypse 🤘
Thanks Bugez!

Thought you littered that salt pack, man. I'm so glad you kept it to toss later!
Didn't think I would laugh this much while watching a workout video. loved it
Awesome videos guys! Every time i watch your videos i get so pumped and just want to go to gym! Also they are funny as hell!💪💪💪
I love this guy's energy, it's contagious!!!
FLESHGOD APOCALYPSE
