Eric Spoto Late Night Bench Press Workout

October 26, 2012 By Gregor Winter

Late night benching with Eric Spoto …

Recorded around midnight the night before the 2012 Olympia.

  • speed work against abnds and chains
  • rep work with partials
  • finishing off with shoulder/ triceps work (Dumbbell, Press Military), rotator cuff work (Cuban Press, internal/ external rotation)

Standing Military is the Best

By the way, here is what George Leeman had to say about Eric when he met him at the Olympia.

Eric definitely made a lasting impression on him.

19 inch forearms …

I have seen some pro bodybuilders in person and he just made them seem really, really small. I didn’t see a single person at the Olympia who was bigger than him, or even close …

And once again it runs out to be true, that people who really know their craft are often some of the nicest people on the planet. They don’t need to brag, they let their actions speak for them.
