Eric Spoto 705 RAW Bench! Stan Efferding 545 x 2! EVERY SET | ProvingItDVD.com 

🤣🤣

Yes bro 1 be careful and cautious. 2 dont try to overdo it 3 leave the locks off for an easy release if you dont have a spotter.

​@@kingdubbs143with 705lbs i doubt these would make a difference

☠️☠️☠️

Gay

Nick Wright My favorite part in all bench presses I've ever seen.

Spoto 1st cousin Lloyd work out at my gym l...Lloyd is one big dude!

Nick Wright look its nick the prick mind ya own business

Nick Wright 495 x 10 get it right

Parodoxal Irony -_-

billy batts Yeah it doesn't even seem fair haha. Spoto just warms up with that.

billy batts Unlike my YMCA where the strongest guy there benches 315lbs.lol

@@90slifter90 strongest guy at our ymca does 585 raw.

Had it been 540 it'd been a triple.

He got 545 for 2.5 reps

One thing that annoys me is the way people just discredit others achievements. He's on gear, doesn't count, he's 300+ pounds doesn't count or the big one he's lifting equipped can't bench (lift) raw for shit. Like they're all strong, they're all competing in their separate fields. You don't run up to 400m sprinters and call them slow because Usain Bolt runs 100M faster than they do.

he's a mutant LOL smart lifter as well, with the lighter weight alot of the times he don't touch his chest or lockout to prevent injury.its just unreal how he moves heavy weight so fluently lol

***** Basically in this video up until 605 he just pumped them out. 635 onward he's doing singles and goes to a full lock out. It's not normal for 605...

***** yeah bro, totally get it now thanks. #lifechanged #gymbro #halfrep

You mad bro

Julius benched 360 kg , he is miles ahed of eric spoto cmon

@@Rubenribeirogoat I was commenting on technique, there will always be someone stronger as time goes on, spotos bench is fucking beautiful

Agreed. I wonder what his numbers would’ve been if he didn’t get injured

​@danjohnson2914 Maddox could do 705 faster simply because he's stronger, u see spoto didn't pause at the bottom Maddox just did 725 with a pause faster.

ah yes another dweeb missing op's point of his comment. its about his technique numbnuts@@user-ul9pd1qw6c

Which professional powerlifters

UnknownXV I have been at this for close to two years and I still can't comprehend it.

***** My max is at 165 now. Still can't comprehend it. These newbie gains are no match for him.

UnknownXV Unless you bench close to 600, you will never be able to comprehend it. Its just unfathomable. Ive pressed 440 and held 500 in my hands before and lemme tell ya, my joints and bones felt like they were gonna snap. I COULD NOT imagine adding 205 lbs to that and not just benching it, but pause benching it with ease as he did.

+lolmmmol y

+UnknownXV don't worry about it. It is because you are all natural and do not take roids. You gotta understand all of these pros are on roids. The human body is simply not capable of naturally lifting that much weight (not that I know of at least)

Nick Wright hey nick ! have u maxx chewning finnally got 315?? 💀💀😂

Nick Wright I watch it every couple months, it's so motivating right?

just so you know Nick is benching 405 for reps now porpobly more then your squat or deadlifting. My bad you don't even lift so shut up show some love

Nick Wright very underviewed a true sight to behold

Wei Li Jr Fang it's a joke . Plus I just turn 16 and I max bench 265-270 now. I wasn't trying too hate or anything

knives fan Bruh he is handling 495 like I handle the bar itself

Frost yeah its fucking unreal. never seen anything like that

M2J2X go watch kyrill sarychev

@@yanniblumstein1 fuck kirill sarayev. Spotto is the real man u dumm fuck

Spoto has no business handling 135; he needs to work with 400+ lbs and nothing less than that

Zdenko Brazda If you are a true baller, you bring your own bench to the gym

+Parodoxal Irony probably the bench in the gym doesnt last the weight he´s benching. So he has to bring his own :D

same difference he feels from 315 to 405 lol. its only like breathing to him lol

Heavy weights still feel heavy even when your strong.

135 felt heavy to me 3 months ago when I started working out, now it ain’t shit

@@johnhall87 I disagree man, doing 50% 1RM pretty much always feels light

theyre both probably like benching the empty bar for most people

Benjamin Embrador all the squat racks in my middle school and high school had flat benches lol

Dadgum right!

Mike Wilson imagine you see someone pressing 545 for double and then he says, “now it’s time for the big boy”.

Corner of my eye nah. The man would have my full attention like is he actually going to do that 😂

@[ŸÜRÏ] of what? Him picking you up and pressing you with one hand? Thats about most dangerous thing he can do to you. Id be more scared of 200 pound triathlon guy since i know he can go for days.

@@gthrusterg2858 Mmmmh Idk depends on if the 200lb guy could fight. If there was a wall behind you Spoto could probably fairly easily press on your torso and collapse your rib cage and mush your organs and kill you in a second without breaking a sweat.

@@thundergun933 nope, ive been grappling some and big guys like that cant move, amaller athletic guys around 200 pounds are more dangerous, you just slide around big guy. I myself am 210. But it can happen if he catches you but is less likley to happen.

It never gets old

Shane Murphy this is literally the 20th time I watched this and it never ceases to amaze me and Stans 545x2 is really impressive as well but spoto makes that look like shit

Raw is the only way to lift and bone!

Shane Murphy I know pure raw strength is where it’s at and this guy spoto is legendary, Stan too. That added shirt bullshit or slingshot or squat suit is all lame as hell and brings people away from powerlifting in my opinion.

Yeah I’d much rather watch raw then bench shirt, slingshot, elbow raps 1000 lb bench.

meacht113 it usually doesn’t work like that

Today someone did 700x3 :D

😂🤣😂

*an

Julius

@@fernandowong371 kirill sarychev doesn’t get enough credit

@@dantemariscal8679 He's also insane.

Julius Del Rosario Ok now hes only benching 1.4x my deadlift lol. progress is progress though.

Julius Del Rosario hahahaha you actually came back and update your progress. Keep grinding brah

Julius Del Rosario now ?

Matthew Anthony Lmao "that Russian guy." People have names for a reason, and his is Kirill Sarychev.

@Matthew Anthony yea you sure are educated for knowing that russian guy

***** such a world could never exist now, roids will remain until something even better comes along.

DefyingGravity1893 this

99.9 percent of all pro athletes including golf and tennis also. no big deal. just reality

All runners DON'T juice, speak on what you know which is nothing at all.

Amazing ME the things losers say because they weren't born with talent.

7.5 plates

God bless people like you

THANK YOU

🤘🏼 Solid work

I had a feeling there was a legend in the comment section thankyou.

You stole my line. I have been meaning to say this for a long time ago. I was just working on a powerful way to articulate it. You sir, are a winner! Thank you!

you are correct

Керчек Almost like he was joking...

Jared Spaulding no he wasn't.

Jared Spaulding he is a geared bencher dude.......

i hit 720 incline my last time in.

Could u please post the video of that with legit weights so that people can believe u

Wait... You spelled steroids wrong.

hehe Coopa Jay

+Coopa Jay I hope you break a leg tomorrow.

***** No...you da' tuff one!

Steven Duckett provide me with steroids and I'll bench 600 in a couple years

Yeah, O.k......... Dessert Limbo?????

i don't do steroids and i will be 57 years old this year.

@@dessertlimbo no you wont,

Not even... its like its a broom stick or something.

So true

​@Wile E Coyote its always about genetic potential, from there its about diet training and steroids, from some perspective genetics are the most unfair, 1 man can inject all he wants, eat the best food and train extremely hard, but still only bench 500/600 pounds hormones can only enhance the genetic potential, if ur a weak small ass dude, sorry man u might look jacked with roids and stuff but benching 700 pounds aint happening ;p

ghopghopp actually 4 people!

Fat_black-cat depending on if you include gym lifts and potential strong benchers, I think there are quite a few guys who have a chance at getting in the 7’s in comp this year. James Strickland’s training cycle is going really well, and J-ho has always been very close. Kirill just needs to decide to compete again and 750 could fall if he has a good cycle and stays healthy. Then there are Josh Bryant’s other guys who I can’t quite remember all of them but I think he has two or three more in the superheavies who all benched high 6’s this year. Also that guy who incline benches all sorts of crazy stuff on instagram, I think he hit 650 on incline with a duffalo bar, but I’m not sure how good he is flat. So much crazy potential, not to mention if Eddy Hall put some work in on bench he could probably get close to 7, even at a lighter body weight

What about Castleberry?

@eren yeager Spoto was on another level for sure

Underrated comment. Doesn't even seem real.

up the juice and shouldn't be much of a problem

I would have to be doing juice to "up the juice". LOL!!! At almost 55 years old I really don't think I will be doing any steroids. I know a huge percentage of powerlifters and body builders do though, but most don't look quite as round as me. :)

+steroids4champions that is not half repping my friend, what he does is keeping the tension which is way harder than normal pressing. Half Repping is something different, and of course easier

What does 'half benching' do exactly? And what weight should be 'half-benched'? I bench right now 200lbs

Yes Sir

Also, they are so muscular on their upper body and tight that their range of motion is limited until they get warmed up and stretched a little

Actually it's currently understood that we have no true genetic outliers in the sport because there simply aren't enough competing for there to likely be one. In other words, some day, someone will probably bench 1000 raw.

@@Seraphim_Works I think that's an exaggeration. 800 maybe. Not 1000. People have been strength training for a while at this point. That's like saying somebody will run a 6 second 100 meter dash.

@@Paolo-uq3fc the problem is that the true genetic outliers don't feel a need to compete. They're the types that already look jacked without ever being in the gym and bench over 224 their first time in the gym so they never really train.

@@Seraphim_Works that's ridiculous. A bunch of genetic outliers ALREADY compete. U think the average gym rat could ever bench 600 even while abusing every substance known to man? No. It takes impressive genetics for a 600 lb bench, and even more so for a 700 lb one. Yes, there are probably stronger guys that have never competed. But nobody will ever bench 1000 raw. And I disagree. The people that are so gifted they could set records usually do. I myself know a guy who benched more than 225 his first time ever, but he's nowhere close to 700. I also know a guy who benched 195 @ 140 his first time ever, and he never reached a ridiculous number either.

@@Paolo-uq3fc very well

Unfortunately few people on here get to realize that as most immediately cry out "Steroids!" and throw this jaw-dropping feat of strength out the window. It's a shame.

the company of 4 or so...

jeffery tucker 5 now.

There are people who juice that cannot press 225 never mind 315. If it was just down to gear we would all bench 700 or run 100 meter sub 10 seconds

Even Larry Wheels can't bench 700

Storm Cochran no but 730.

No, 722

706 for sure

Jason Price - He set a record @ 722 that was broken by a Russian bear who benched 738. Now Julius Maddox is working out with 700 and just set two new world records this year.

2. spotter grabbed #3. i would not count it. assisted.

yup

Absolutely nothing...next exercise haha

"Yeah, I ... was feeling a bit sore today anyway....."

SuniClaye Looks like I was mistaken. Thanks though.

Whatever helps you sleep at night. His elbows still go below his spine when he touches. Just because he's massive doesn't mean his range is that much smaller.

It takes a lot of strength to even lift 705lbs 1 inch off your chest though, let a alone a whole 12 inches which is probably Eric's full range of motion.

damn, only took him one workout to hit 705? imagine what he'd bench if he actually lifted while people weren't looking!!

wtf wich direction do you want to go with this shit?

Clearly you know nothing about lifting if you think they got that strong from honing in on one exercise. Most elite lifters, like these guys, prefer a private gym where people aren't watching.

treu, he got owned

I bet he can out lift you in any lift. Weak people always hate behind their keyboards.

Strongest dude EVER.........

spoto's max is 722

Eric Doesn't max out in training he saves that for meets. If he could do a 722 competition bench he might be able to hit a 750 with typical gym goers form if he did it fast with a little bounce because every powerlifter can lift more in the gym when form doesnt matter then on competition day when it does.

"correct" exercise techniques don't apply to elite level lifters. at one point in time he probably benched "properly" (Ive come to hate using that word in this context) but part of the reason he is who he is and accomplished what he accomplished is because he threw the book out (so to speak) and did what works for him

You made the exact same comment in another video OP.

Yes, because 700 pounds of weight can easily kill a man of an size of a single spotted loses grip. I'm not sure what's wrong with taking precautions

Nothing wrong. My comment was half admiring his achievement (although I'm a natural lifting female, lifting in an entirely different league, obviously) half wondering about how roided up he must be.

+kloppskaninchen USC Trojans shirt guy....very possible he's natural. those lifts are naturally attainable

+Valin Gates ain't nobody in that video anywhere close to natural buddy. Those monsters are all enhanced.

Lmao

well said. I'm so tired of everyone just yelling "steroids" as if steroids replace hard work, dedication, solid diet and rest.

negative captain. if a foreign substance induces the body to do things it cannot do in its natural state, its very much so responsible for all the gains. a human skeleton and joint can only take so much without reaching its moment of inertia. When you take a drug to drastically increase and actually generate new skeletal tissue, there's no comparison to what a person can naturally do.

@@KapitalJustice if you don't do it steroid free and raw then it is not 100% you, is how i feel. i want it to be 100%me.

Weak loser!

not every one who benches big uses steroids. a lot do, but not all of us.
