damn eric... you're the motivation ! "Whatever your hands find to do, do with all your strength, because there is no work, planning, knowledge, or wisdom in Sheol where you are going." ecclesiast 9*10.
The way you do your set up when you flex your hamstrings to get tighter on the bar I started using a year ago and it has really helped because not only do I find it helps me get tighter it also gets me charged up mentally. So thank you for that!
AT THE BEGINNING OF EVERY VIDEO YOU MAKE ME WANT TO QUIT TRAINING... A COUPLE OF MINUTES IN YOU MAKE ME WANT TO PUSH HARDER THAN EVER!!!!! ERIC YOU SIR ARE INCREDIBLE. KEEP THE VIDEOS COMING.
Anybody who has lifted understands the grip/contamination issue but it takes a particulary strong mindset and determination to add weight and try again. 400kg + is just a thing of dreams for most of us
Sickening pull. That was awesome. Yo Eric you should make a deadlift tutorial. You have the best deadlift form of any top lifter and I think we could all benefit from some tips
Tom Shufflebottom Fitness in on 9 months post I think a lot of his form just comes down to leverages. Most people can't get into that starting position with basically vertical shins. Looks similar to Leeman's starting position imo
If you look up lilliebridge in the dictionary the definition would probably have something to do with top shelf powerlifting. Truly amazing! 1000 + 550 + 900!!
Jason Clarke Thanks, it felt a lot better on the 2nd attempt too. My brother cleaned off the bar for me and used rubbing alcohol on the bar with a towel and it cleaned off everything that was on it. When I went to grab the bar on the 2nd attempt I could feel a huge difference. The bar just stuck in my hands vs on the other attempts, I could feel it wasn't as grippy.
Serious bad ass. pulls 906lbs up with good speed and drops it at the top 1/2". so that bugged him so he just pulls 906 again just to see whats going on with the bar and the chalk. that back is made of steel. mind boggling.
Strongman has more 900lb+ deadlifters in circulation right now than there has ever been in powerlifting. I think that being put in that category for the deadlift is quite flattering.
You actually lifted 906 lbs two times ? Eric stop lying. Youre not human. Lol unbelievable. Its almost ridicilous seeing your progress week after week, moth after month. It motivates me si much to also keep progressing. Its all about the mind and the will. Thank you for this footage.
***** Lol at randoms thinking Leeman is some sort of a god. Yeah, no doubt he is strong as fuck, but nowhere near the level of an Eric lilliebridge. Eric, weighing ~50 lbs less has deadlifted the max from Leeman 3 times already, whitout straps. Leemans best Bench press was, as far as i know 530 lbs, Eric benched 535 lbs in a meet, and 560 lbs touchngo. Leemans Squat is most likely 200 lbs weaker than Erics. Remember that Eric is weighing less than Leeman. Dont get me wrong Leeman is strong as fuck and im admiring his feats of strength. But even comparing him to the multiple world record holder is disproportionate.
BadBlueBoyZG86 I agree with you, but I think he was only comparing George's and Eric's deadlift strength. Yes, Eric is the stronger and better powerlifter, but I think George could possibly be the stronger deadlifter.
Great stuff here. Congrats Eric on the PR hope you crush it at worlds. You're speed is looking amazing. What have you done for your grip work? It's very strong.
A bit off topic I know and might be a shot in the dark, but I'm from England and I'm trying to set up a home gym for as cheap as possible, anyone know the best place to buy second hand plates and bars?
Beast bro!! I'm curious what your max is w/Straps.. Seems like you could still increase the weight if grip didn't matter. I know it does in competition so I see why you don't use them..
The lift at 03:30 was good, you've locked out... There was no reason for another one, just watch out for that baby powder next time and keep it coming with those heavy ass lifts, love to watch you lift man...
0:13 sounds like disturbed, can't make out which song, I think it's one of the newer albums (Indestructible and later) 0:22 - disturbed - indestructible
0:13 Disturbed - Haunted 0:23 Disturbed - Indestructible 0:43 Five Finger Death Punch - Death Before Dishonor 1:00 Janus - Eyesore 1:25 Dimmu Borgir something I think 1:42 - Children of Bodom - Everytime I die 2:08 - Children of Bodom - Angels Don't Kill 2:53 - Children of Bodom - Downfall
You've never heard of powerlifters putting baby powder on their legs for Deadlifting? Been doing it for as long as I can remember. Someone got it in our chalk box and the chalk was not grippy, it was slick in my hands.
Mingo Rolince Yeah I agree. In the mean time I'm just going to train my grip hard over the next couple weeks before I completely de load going into the meet.
I don't know about anyone else.....but I saw 2 really EASY 906 deadlifts. I don't really pay attention to you dropping the bar at the top. Its the gym, not a meet. And obviously you had your reason. We've never seen your grip fail before, it sure didn't with your old 900 and I don't believe 6 lbs makes the difference.
Lmao at 3:00 Ernie hits the nose tork and it's not even his set. Also the fucking speed on 405 is just nuts. And well the main lift in the video is just inhuman honestly
Guy walks in "where's all the weights at?"
Oh Eric is deadlifting
3:00 Lmao Ernie testing the ammonia.
Solkatti smelling salts, you use 1 bottle often but it loses it's potency after a while
Warsheeper smelling salts = ammonia
+Bart Sprengelmeijer hahaha got him
I always watch your deadlift videos before my deadlift day!
damn eric... you're the motivation !
"Whatever your hands find to do, do with all your strength, because there is no work, planning, knowledge, or wisdom in Sheol where you are going." ecclesiast 9*10.
I really like Eric's whole team he has, so motivating!
The way you do your set up when you flex your hamstrings to get tighter on the bar I started using a year ago and it has really helped because not only do I find it helps me get tighter it also gets me charged up mentally. So thank you for that!
AT THE BEGINNING OF EVERY VIDEO YOU MAKE ME WANT TO QUIT TRAINING... A COUPLE OF MINUTES IN YOU MAKE ME WANT TO PUSH HARDER THAN EVER!!!!! ERIC YOU SIR ARE INCREDIBLE. KEEP THE VIDEOS COMING.
As fast as you move with 405.... I can't move that fast with an empty barbell haha!
+LIGHTandSTR0NG its ridiculous how neglected speed is nowadays!
+Strengthletics it's not neglected nowadays... All the competitors do speed reps
Kier06 bwahahaha
Anybody who has lifted understands the grip/contamination issue but it takes a particulary strong mindset and determination to add weight and try again. 400kg + is just a thing of dreams for most of us
that bar speed...respect!!
Most motivating lifter on yohtube in my opinion. ...no hesitation attacks the weight every time
Way to keep progressing!!! Killing it in everyway. Keep getting those pr's
Woman: AAAAPAAPAPAPAAAPAAA AAAAA!
Sickening pull. That was awesome. Yo Eric you should make a deadlift tutorial. You have the best deadlift form of any top lifter and I think we could all benefit from some tips

Absolutely amazing lifts! More than 3x your bodyweight @298llbs ...nuts just nuts. Props to the motivating wife!
If you look up lilliebridge in the dictionary the definition would probably have something to do with top shelf powerlifting. Truly amazing! 1000 + 550 + 900!!
Never cease to amaze me
Damn Eric, sick pulls bro! Making it look easy, your going to kill it at GPA!!!
So sick! Amazing PR, looked clean and fast both times!
Unreal dude! Can't believe people are trying to sabotage your training!!
Dude Eric your a fucking monster! And to think you pulled a DL PR basically twice...insane man
Amazing pulling as always, Eric!! DL power over 9000!
Insane this kids a beast God bless this strong family
AMEN!!!!
grip looked alot more solid that second attempt, good shit
Jason Clarke Thanks, it felt a lot better on the 2nd attempt too. My brother cleaned off the bar for me and used rubbing alcohol on the bar with a towel and it cleaned off everything that was on it. When I went to grab the bar on the 2nd attempt I could feel a huge difference. The bar just stuck in my hands vs on the other attempts, I could feel it wasn't as grippy.
Your deadlift form is great. Have you given any thought to creating a how to deadlift technique video?
Serious bad ass. pulls 906lbs up with good speed and drops it at the top 1/2". so that bugged him so he just pulls 906 again just to see whats going on with the bar and the chalk. that back is made of steel. mind boggling.
My question to you sir Eric is how much can you deadlift with a full beard? Must be well over 1100lbs.
full beard + golden locks = +200lbs to total
A person with a full beard has not won Worlds Strongest Man since Geoff Capes in 1985. Eric is part of the clean shaven master race. :P
Lytv8 this is power lifting not strongmen
Strongman has more 900lb+ deadlifters in circulation right now than there has ever been in powerlifting. I think that being put in that category for the deadlift is quite flattering.
Lytv8 is that a legit stat? interesting if so
at 2:40 when your grip slips your brother and dads faces are just like what are you doing? Lol
Hi, what's the hyperextension for at the end of the lift? Sick speed btw
Simply unbelivable
one strong yank , think he goes legend, hope so. built like ? never seen before, long live raw lifting
So unbelievable yet so inspiring. Well done. How do you feel in terms of being so close to the show? I imagine very confident.
FOCKEN SICK PULLS!!!! Damn that shit look good.
I love your choice of music, Dimmu borgir and Children of bodom. My fucking favourite bands
You actually lifted 906 lbs two times ? Eric stop lying. Youre not human.
Lol unbelievable. Its almost ridicilous seeing your progress week after week, moth after month. It motivates me si much to also keep progressing. Its all about the mind and the will. Thank you for this footage.

this guy just did my one rep max like its 135lbs lol

Eric you do realise that deadliften is bad for your back? stop doing it your back will thank me.

Mike O'Tren deadlifting is only bad for people that have weak backs.
Great stuff here. Congrats Eric on the PR hope you crush it at worlds. You're speed is looking amazing. What have you done for your grip work? It's very strong.
hes like a piston the way he hits those lifts. its just....."bang!" done XD
Just plain badass lifting.
do you squat or leg press at all after these heavy pulls?
A bit off topic I know and might be a shot in the dark, but I'm from England and I'm trying to set up a home gym for as cheap as possible, anyone know the best place to buy second hand plates and bars?
Nasty pull man
Beast bro!! I'm curious what your max is w/Straps.. Seems like you could still increase the weight if grip didn't matter. I know it does in competition so I see why you don't use them..
Hi, Eric. Will do you try to squat 454 kg for 2 reps next weekend again?
The lift at 03:30 was good, you've locked out... There was no reason for another one, just watch out for that baby powder next time and keep it coming with those heavy ass lifts, love to watch you lift man...
Damn this guy looks like he can barbell curl 405lbs with that explosiveness.
You almost lifted a ton! Good job!
A ton is 1000 kg while he lifted 411 kg?How is that almost a ton?
But yeah he is super strong.
is this the same idiot who didn't know that 2,000 lbs was a ton on his most recent squat video?
mmm yeah disturbed music in the background...awesome gym you got there eric
What do you do for grip work?
Starting to look like Benedikt Magnusson now with the walk
Great athlete ! Love you Eric ;)

baby powder wtf?
You've never heard of powerlifters putting baby powder on their legs for Deadlifting? Been doing it for as long as I can remember. Someone got it in our chalk box and the chalk was not grippy, it was slick in my hands.
I'm a noob so I'm not surprised I haven't heard of that
Eric Lilliebridge you gotta admit though, that means your grip strength is solid and under normal conditions it'd be strong enough for your PR.
Mingo Rolince Yeah I agree. In the mean time I'm just going to train my grip hard over the next couple weeks before I completely de load going into the meet.
I bet you could close the #4 captains of crunch gripper, you should try it hardly anyone has ever been able to do it
pfft....only 856 with baby powder....sissy
seriously though, respect
Fucking savage. Subbing.
I don't know about anyone else.....but I saw 2 really EASY 906 deadlifts. I don't really pay attention to you dropping the bar at the top. Its the gym, not a meet. And obviously you had your reason. We've never seen your grip fail before, it sure didn't with your old 900 and I don't believe 6 lbs makes the difference.
Pause at 4:40 and that is a finished lift....
Very gv G Z?
Q qav
Gp. GCZQ
VDZva. Po
you pulled that with baby powder? holy fuck haha
dat 405 warmup...
Unbelievable
This guy looks like nappa from dragonball z.
Definitely the bar and not his grip strength
Lmao at 3:00 Ernie hits the nose tork and it's not even his set.
Also the fucking speed on 405 is just nuts. And well the main lift in the video is just inhuman honestly
That woman sounds like a boiling tea kettle
