lifesnotfair Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Hey folks. Eric's youtube account had some impressive videos, but like two years ago. There was a very nice 600x3 in one of them and about 15 easy dips with "4 plates" hanging from his wait... and some incredible Close Grip benches, I think 495x9 if my memory isn't failing me. Anyways, this video seems recent (Feb 7th and on his account!), and in it he does 600x6. SIX REPS. No bounce, legit reps. I had heard since roughly 2 years ago that this fellow wants to break the Raw record and then begin his AW career, as he has competed in AW before and is very strong at it too, supossedly.. but for obvious reasons has put AW on the side, while he chases the Bench record. This is what I've heard, but not from him, so maybe I'm wrong. But it seems he is at record level or beyond.... Enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legendofjd3 Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Yeah, that video is insane!!! He's got a shot at beating the record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 I have seen a vid of him hitting 715x2 with a ram or a slingshot. It was on a different channel and now I can't find it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueviper42 Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 From the same day it looks like he also did 405 for 26 reps, and looks like he may have had more in him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Moyers Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 He has also said that he benched 315x62. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florian Kellersmann Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Awesome strenght! Hope he stays healthy and reaches his goals! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueviper42 Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 I want some of the stuff this guy is on. They must get some good "supplements" in Vegas! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jad Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 I just want to see him AW. Everything I've seen posted about him says something like once he starts pulling full-time he'll be one of the best in short order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueviper42 Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 The real question is, could he out curl the people's dietitian? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueviper42 Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 (edited) I'm not sure if everyone around here has seen this video yet too. I guess he made a field trip to the Super Training gym in Sacramento a while back, because he got 635 for 2 back in 2010 Edited February 20, 2012 by thewalrus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueviper42 Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Wow, just found some other videos of him. His videos are hard to find because they rarely use his name and they are from random users. He does 635 for 4 reps back in November: He's benching with a slingshot here, I don't feel like adding up the plates but it's a lot: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legendofjd3 Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Nice finds. Last one appears to be about 715-720. 45's = 675 plus 4 10's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lifesnotfair Posted March 1, 2012 Author Share Posted March 1, 2012 I was tempted to start a new thread due to the awesomeness of this video from 2 days ago... but I'll post it here instead as it's also by Eric Spoto. It seems to be 7 plates (675#?) for SIX reps with a Slingshot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueviper42 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 HOLY CRAP!!!! Two new videos today and they are INSANE!!! 765 FOR TWO WITH A SLINGSHOT : 645 for 4 RAW perfect form : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRC Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 As someone said about the 700+ w/slingshot video above: "the raw bench record is 'unsafe'." Even though this guy appparently hasn't ever lifted in a meet, I'd have to agree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Piche Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Holy smokes! That record is done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueviper42 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Ok, so maybe it wasn't quite perfect form on the second. It looks like his butt may have been off the bench but it's hard to tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lifesnotfair Posted March 21, 2012 Author Share Posted March 21, 2012 I keep doing the math and the Slingshot video comes out at 725#. Someone in the Comments on that video said it was 725# as well. Just saying of course.The 645x4 RAW is insane! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lifesnotfair Posted March 21, 2012 Author Share Posted March 21, 2012 THIS looks to be 765x2 with the Slingshot. This is "8 plates a side". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueviper42 Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 585 (6 plates) for 8 RAW BOOM who wants some? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legendofjd3 Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Saw that the other night!!! Sick!!!! Adds up to 740+ on my 1rm chart. 585 x 1.27 = 742 Man, I hope he gets the raw record. Dude's a beast!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
