Its all in my stomach, no back, anyone ever try this movement before? I read that it will help you work out with out a weight belt at heavy, but not heaver weight. ---------------------------- BQ AMERICAN MADE

The way I do them is sitting down on a box, with my legs spread, grasping the bar in the crooks of my elbows and bend over bringing the bar out past my knees and going as low as I can before going back up. The Z-Squat. Have not done the Z-lift which is a variation of the D-lift, I do Z-squats to work my abs. :)
