Eric Spoto & Stan Efferding on Vegas Power Hour

November 19, 2012 By Gregor Winter

Since today is bench day, here is a fine piece of podcast for your listening pleasure.

Eric Spoto & Stan Efferding were guests on the Vegas Power Hour.

I enjoy lifting weights. If there was no competition, if non of this existed, I would be lifting the exact same weight at the gym every Monday.  – Eric Spoto

Topics:

  • Eric’s first meet at Kings of Bench
  • after he didn’t lift a lot leadin up to Kings of Bench (12 days of not benching), he overcompensated a week before the backyard meet, doing 765 lbs lockouts  for reps
  • Eric’s consistently huge training volume /intensity
  • Supertraining Backyard Meet; why he opened with a record, looking back he would not have done that; what went wrong -> mental issue, he didn’t know why he missed the first
  • next backyard meet in march 2013
  • geared lifting
  • fragmentation of the sport
  • making meets more attractive for lifters
