Eric Lilliebridge 447kgs/985lbs Raw Squat w/ Wraps @ 290lbs PR

This workout here put me at 4 weeks out from my competition on July 19th. I woke up in the morning before this workout feeling like shit. I was really tired and tight from moving furniture into my new place and being busy running around all day the day before. I managed to lose 5lbs on Friday from missing a bunch of meals and sweating from the heat. So I had no idea what to expect coming into this workout. I didn't start feeling good until about mid way through my warm ups. I just tried to stay positive and not let the weight loss effect me mentally, thinking that I'd be weaker from it. It obviously didn't effect my strength at all because I nailed a 15lb PR with 985lbs on my top set being 5lbs lighter than my normal training weight the past couple months (295lbs). That set actually ended up feeling the best out of them all, my set up and everything felt spot on. So I guess you could say I kind of surprised myself because I didn't think this workout was going to go good coming into it. I have one more heavy Deadlift, Squat and Bench workout before the meet which I will be doing over the next 2 weeks. Then I will be de loading and resting for 2 weeks leading up to the meet.

Eric will go down as one of the greatest PL's of this time.

[@cheesedips]

[@Latissimus65]

He already is

[@Akimball1969]

I just shat, ate it, and then shat it out again.

[@timgarcia5213]

Recycling is good...

[@skaz783]

That is just insane, I hope you do well! So inspirational to watch these. You are such a motivation, be careful, don't hurt yourself!

[@aaronpalko6080]

This is absolutely incredible. One of the greatest lifters of all time. My training partner Matt Disbrow just entered your weight class!

[@buffvalley09]

Eric you are unbelievable man. Keep it up, you inspire us all.

[@GoSneaker]

Insane. You're going down in history as the BEST powerlifter of all time as long as you stay injury free.

[@philsalter]

Closing in on the big 1000. Well done big man, world class!

[@Mrdmicol]

[@jackswagger405]

Good Work keep focusing Eric and you'll SMASH 1000 lbs RAW!!!!!!

[@TunnelVisionAthletic]

So fucking awesome Eric! Every time I go for a squat PR a put Zero Signal on my ipod and get nasty as hell, so inspiring mate keep it up!

[@dinolarsson]

First time actually seeing you struggle on a squat, Even at your thirds at meets you never go that slow up. No doubt there will be 1000lbs in the near future. Noticed that you are starting to look more like your brother (The grind face). Good luck at the upcoming meet and a little tip a wise person once told me: "Train smart". Btw Incredible lift!

[@thomaswills6589]

Haha this guy^^ thanks for the tip champ I'm sure he needs it from a bloke that squats 160kg haha

[@dinolarsson]

Not sure why you answer for Eric himself. Refering to the video on my channel of a friend squatting 160kg? Obviously I did not give Eric any training advice because he's doing everything right. A tip, or maybe it should be called wise words, "train smart", which I think Eric already has done to get to his elite level. Just a reminder not to take bad decisions.

[@ulchfirgne]

Anyone remember the race to 900 lbs Eric had with Satn Efferding? What the hell happened? This is amazing! Great to see someone so elite progress so dramatically!

[@CLYDEMORE]

Awesome stuff Eric!!

[@charliejohnson6752]

Nice man, cant wait for you to squat +1000lbs at your meet, all the best bro

[@The777778]

awesome lift eric,looks like you are not far from 1000lbs.it`s there for you ,how bad do you want it! and as young as you are it`s up to you how far you go!Good luck in your meet in july, go take whats yours!!

[@j.sarnak1391]

Another Great Session!! Maybe you should move furniture the day before your meet!! Can't wait until the 19th E.

[@rubenmcrae6666]

Awesome work maybe 1000 for next competition

[@justwatchin2]

Very impressive...again!

[@TommyA1991]

Subbed, really motivating to see that.

[@congajc]

Impressive doesn't cut it. THIS IS MOTHERFUCKING EPIC SUPERHUMAN SHIT!

[@stefanhutton9329]

Incredible

[@srade126]

The speed on that 700, wtf beast

[@418cjpaul]

just saw him deadlift 900 and now this!! if we could get him to train olympic lifts at col weightlifting we would have an olympic medalist

[@MrJuniorhv]

Beast! good shit.

[@HUGEGUY405]

Awesome shit dude! Now I have to lift today!

[@Soccasteve]

Freaking awesome

[@TheMrpyo1]

I hope u break the all time world record raw squat before the year end, I believe it is 1014ibs

[@garageworkouts1]

WOW

[@HOTFRI3S]

I believe you will become one of the greatest squatters to ever live especially since you already have 985lbs raw at however old you are.

[@mlong73127]

He already is one of the greatest.

[@HOTFRI3S]

True but he will probably be able to do the most raw that anyone has done before.

[@shcsepac]

HOTFRI3S I agree. I think he is 23/24 at the moment, depending when his birthday is, but it is incredible to think that guys like Dan Kovac are 43 and in their prime. If Eric keeps hitting 15 lb PR's every 2 months he'll be squatting 2785 lbs. raw in 20 years lol.

[@HOTFRI3S]

Yeah thats crazy shit haha.

[@XButterMilkBiscuitsX]

Wow. Definitely 1000lbs in your tank.

[@uarifin]

Fuarkk yes eric! So inspirational! :')

[@DaOneJoel]

Beastly!

[@1vootman]

Wow...awesome lifting.

[@bigtonutz]

big E in da hizzy :) recking them weights!

[@MarkMacqueen]

You got 1000 pounds Eric, go kill it bro ;)

[@macsimumstrength9319]

Wow!

[@huckingfuge1857]

The guy on the right at 1:45 in white oly shoes-I have those shoes, spent 90quid on them, phucking amazing for squatting in. After I bought them i've seen a couple of people on youtube wear them like Dan Green.

[@ViraRohirrim]

Something is fishy about this gym... You guys all have massive calves.. wadupwithdat..

[@EricLilliebridge]

Calve raises :-)

[@guilhermepinto7]

Eric Lilliebridge the seated calf raises ?

[@annettetibbetts4229]

Vira Rohirrim you can't lift 800+ with twigs.

[@BJGally]

Damn, that's deep

[@JoshuaOdionson]

Well hey, we got the next Kirk Karwoski here. Along with Dan Green for Ed Coan and CWS for Bill Kazmaier. Way to go, big guy. Go join the 1000lb club.

[@srector3]

Amazing! How long do you wait between sets?

[@PowermanGustav]

Really good squatting session and cool music. What is the name of the last song :)

[@fusionchickenleg]

1000 lbs is yours!

[@bahrpress07]

I know what you mean about moving and feeling like shit. I worked at a moving company for 3 years felt like shit every morning

[@tyler1394ify]

Wow big man just when I think you were at your peak you keep hitting new PRs all the time...If you could hit a 1000lb squat and a 900 deadlift it would be epic as fuark

[@psolarhidi]

yeah imagine 1900+ total without even benching lol

[@cm6875]

What do you do for a warmup? You certainly dont just hop into 600lbs do you? I recall you saying on your last deadlift video you start really light for a few reps working up to your increasingly heavy singles...same for squats?

[@EricLilliebridge]

I start at the bar and do plate flips up to a certain weight

[@cassandralabarre508]

wow, I don't even... wow.

[@howwSWAYY]

FUCK YEAH ERIC!

[@ruthlesstactics]

damn. monster.

[@powerliftinggearreviews3518]

anyone know the song playing on the 930 attempt?

[@lifttillidie]

haha this is absolutely insane nice lifting eric you competing at 275 or 308 for your next meet?

[@Drumpie]

Eric, why do you prefer the Reeboks above a weightlifting shoe? You ever tried it? Just curious.

[@itsthemagic1]

Yeah I'm curious of what your thinking before you hit that lift. Must be some dark shit!

[@alfred1991]

How much do you get out of your wraps? Seems to be a lot, because 700 looked easier than 600?!

[@LexingtonPlummer]

Was good for a grand!

[@bwatt1383]

Song for the 930lb set?? Sounds so sick

[@madsbregnhoej]

strong as fuuu.. but I really wish Senior would stop touching you when spotting.. You are strong enough to make that lift on your own

[@OfekUrbinoLTSLiveTrainSleep]

Why do i even live....

[@cheesedips]

badass squatting...wow.....how come you wear the belt so high?

[@EricLilliebridge]

Because that's where it feels good for me

[@92jayceon]

I need that squat bar! Which one is it?

[@dtown0514]

Do you know what kind of squat bar that is and what it weighs?

[@dangosh3340]

What do kind of food do you eat on your heavy days?

[@bruceinnawoods3610]

1/2 ton one day?

[@antolin808]

How many weeks out of competition do you cut back on lifting heavy? And how do u keep your gains till the competition?

[@EricLilliebridge]

2 weeks usually. When you peak right, you get stronger from resting and recovering.

[@antolin808]

Eric Lilliebridge

[@mattj8312]

What do you think about before your lifts, Eric?

[@EricLilliebridge]

I don't think about anything. No room for distractions with that kind of weight on my back, especially when I'm attempting a new PR and that goes for any of my lifts. I mainly try to just clear my mind and focus on what I'm going to do. Being anxious, the excitement, rush and adrenaline of attempting something I've never done before brings out a part of me that I can only tap into when that moment in time comes. Everything is pretty much a blur before and after I finish the lift. Being in a mental state like I am in this lift, I rarely remember what the lift actually feels like afterwards. Recording all of my training helps me see everything that's going on. Without being able to see what my lifts look like would be very difficult for me to keep progressing, especially at the rate I have been lately.

[@tommyguns9780]

Eric Lilliebridge beast

[@nuitari021]

eric, how come you guys don't hang safety straps from the monolift just in case shit goes wrong too fast and there is no way for you to support the weight?

[@EricLilliebridge]

My spotters are strong and know what they're doing

[@southpanthers42]

Eric Lilliebridge well thank you sir. They sure saved my life ;-)

[@DukeBuse]

Holy Shit YOU ARE NOT HUMAN!!!!!! Damn chernobyl child

[@Masterofmonotony]

1000 pounds will fall!

[@cjjones7487]

do you plan on breaking the raw with wraps world record at your next meet?

[@EricLilliebridge]

I will probably break my own world record that I currently have with 959 twice next month. Beat it on my 2nd attempt then go for over a grand on my 3rd.

[@cjjones7487]

that's awesome, good luck!

[@JimmyBro44]

How much caffeine did you take before this ahah.

[@esfilmz]

First

[@shcsepac]

If you're already squatting 985 do you think you'd notice much difference at 1000 lbs? Its only a 1% difference. Mad repect

[@Feon2]

880 lb song plays on every Eric training vid. lol anyway, inhuman lift, you will break the 1000lb barrier soon

[@crailwah]

Wtf

[@SCREMOSTRENGTH]

this is not real life
