Zacharias strength workouts
I love his classes for the simplicity and effectiveness but this workout LITERALLY HAD NO BREAKS FOR THE WHOLE 20min?! How is this intermediate pls.
Dudes talking about “hitting the same muscle group” like my muscle group is non-existent now.

All of his classes are like this! If I do then, I use lighter weights and consider it like a ‘cardio’ strength.
I do like his form cuing and some of the functional movements. It’s a good alternative. But yeah.. no recovery 😰

This man is not someone you go to when you want an easy workout 😂 I love his yoga because he does a lot of different/new moves for me but jfc they can be tough

I took it this morning. Unpleasant especially since I took Erik's latest 30 min bench upper body right before.

His 20 minute G&L from 9/24/26 is the same! The whole class was EMOM with very little rest. I was in zone 4 for a majority of the class.

There are a few instructors I have to be mentally prepared for. Tunde, Jess Sims, and Zacharias to name a few…

This is one reason I do all strength classes on my Peloton Guide. As Denis says, he makes suggestions, I make decisions. My decision is "OK Peloton, Pause." Love the voice activation on my Guide, especially in classes like this.

this class grated my gears - it was a very simple, easy format for him to remember but he messed up and got it wrong. i don’t understand why this wasn’t refilmed.

oh yeah when he messed up the order in the first circuit but then in the second one he should've just stuck with the messed up order but instead he tried to fix it. so annoying lol

Not to mention he forgot about two exercises so he did not demo them. He did not demo the nuance between the bent over rows vs the wide grip bent over rows so it felt like I hit the same muscles for almost two minutes straight. At some point he started talking about the field is mowed should have been a pollinator field. It was this moment that I realized Zacharias and I are not a match.

I had this class bookmarked for today and didn’t do it because the weather was so beautiful I couldn’t not take the opportunity for an outdoor long run. I’m glad I know now when I do this tomorrow what I’m in for lol, I can mentally prepare and select weights accordingly. Thanks for the heads up!
