Secret Move That Turns Weak Zercher Squats Into Rock-Solid Strength Sometimes, even the hardest Zercher squats feel underwhelming—lacking the explosive power or solid stability you want. If you’ve ever struggled with zero-back squats that feel weak, wobbly, or insufficient for building true lower-body strength, you’re not alone.
