I was really impressed with both Ernie Jr and Eric at the meet this weekend. It's been a while since I've seen them actually in a meet ( since they have been traveling so much for meets)....
Eric smashed a 970 squat ( world record) and took 1003 only to fall backwards with it on the way up. He benched in the upper 500s and pulled 854 ( 880 just popped out of his hand at the top) for an all time world record raw total.
Ernie Jr hit an 804 raw squat ( at 198), a mid/ upper 400 bench, and a 771 deadlift for a world record total at 198..... over a 2000lb raw total at 198!
I know that they catch a lot of flak online for how simple their training manual is, but it's clearly working for them. The best part is that they are still absolutely cool to everyone. Kids and novice guys were lining up to talk to them and they were polite and sincere with everyone. Really an absolute class act.
