Wayne Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Well it's about to go down. Spotto is going for the bench record at the supertraining meet in november. Unless he has a freakishly off day the record is toast. Here's a recent vid of him hitting a 695 in the gym. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yummy Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 (edited) Well it's about to go down. Spotto is going for the bench record at the supertraining meet in november. Unless he has a freakishly off day the record is toast. Here's a recent vid of him hitting a 695 in the gym. Thats at most 695 -edit didn't see your comment just read the video- Also he did not touch his chest or pause it Also his butt is ridiculously off the bench Some 23 year old russian kid did 695 with a pause just recently I really hope just because they are friends with him they don't give him the record if he uses sloppy form like he is Edited September 5, 2012 by yummy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRC Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 There are lots of other videos besides that one that show that he is ready to go for the record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yummy Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 There are lots of other videos besides that one that show that he is ready to go for the record. All the videos posted here don't show him touching or pausing well. Also it really does look like his butt comes up on the lifts. Then again he does have the strength to beat it just not sure if they will give him a pass even if he doesn't do it perfectly in competition standards.

Wayne Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Here is a 675 for a triple!!! He followed that up with a very easy 675 paused single Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 705 raw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yummy Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 705 raw well looks like the record will go down that looked very easy not super long pause like they do in the IPF but way longer then what scott did which was really just touch and go.

blueviper42 Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 I am very seriously considering moving to Vegas in a few years. Jay Cutler, Dennis Wolf, several other pro bodybuilders, Average Broz Gymnasium (Pat Mendes, Josh Gilbert, Rob Adell, etc), and Eric Spoto are all based from Vegas. I hear they have some good "supplements" out in Vegas... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear they have some good "supplements" out in Vegas... That has nothing to do with vegas though. But yea I would love to train at average broz they seem like the most easy going group of lifters. Vegas does have some very cheap places to live also though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueviper42 Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Yeah, I work at a mortgage company, and Vegas was hit hard by the housing crash. California, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, and Florida were hit the hardest. You can get some cheap houses in most of these places now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 I'm sure everyone has probably seen Max Aitas's 0-600 squat video... well here is Spoto doing it on bench! Freakin insane!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRC Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 I read recently that he has been/is involved in arm wrestling. Anyone know anything about this? I had faith in this guy when I first started watching his vids, but after seeing the 705 paused, I really think he's going to demolish the record. Unless he really chokes majorly, I think he's good for 725 under comp conditions which would be insane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Spoto hit an easy 700 yesterday at the ''Kings of the Bench'' meet in Vegas. He's saving the record attempt for ST Nov. 3rd 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Piche Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 And, he actually PAUSED it. I would say this is the best all time given the "pauses" I have seen with over this. They were really TOUCH and GO. It seems to be the norm now for guys to state "PAUSE" for touch and go bench presses! Ridiculous! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devon Larratt mentioned Eric being the strongest he has ever faced that was a non professional armwrestler. And from the information Devon had to beat him in a high hook to win.

KRC Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Apparently Ed Coan will be at the meet November 3rd (as if they didn't already have enough talent at this meet). Wonder if he'll judge the WR attempt like he did for Mendelson... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniel reinard Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 I have that day off work....so far. Might make the drive to watch that epic meet. It's only an hour drive. Want to head up there Kevin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRC Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Yeah I'm definitely going, hoping to talk Sophia into it as well, lol. Either way i'll be there. Gonna be insane. If Soph won't come maybe I could drive out to your place and we could go from there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
