Eric Lilliebridge - Powerlifting Prodigy
Eric Lilliebridge is truly a powerlifting prodigy having totaled over 2,000 lbs raw (a combination of the squat, bench press, and deadlift with no special equipment) while still a teenager! For perspective, that is a total that VERY few men, regardless of age and body weight, could better. For Eric to have accomplished it as a teen speaks volumes about his incredible talent and potential.
Eric’s iron journey began at a very young age. As far back as he can remember he would watch his father (a competitive powerlifter) as he trained with enormous weights. Like most young men, Eric wanted to be just like dad. When he was 12 years old the bug really took hold and Eric began using weights under his dad’s supervision. At 13 he began practicing the powerlifts, and at only 14 he entered his first powerlifting competition placing 3rd in his weight division. He was hooked!
As his high school years went by he continued to get bigger and stronger. His senior year saw his best gains to date with Eric achieving other-worldly lifts like a raw 650 lbs squat and 700 lbs deadlift!
After high school Eric sustained a couple of significant hamstring injuries, but they would not hold him back for long. He quickly recovered and set a new personal best total of 2,072 lbs at only 20 years of age (see video below) firmly establishing him as one of the strongest raw powerlifters in the world regardless of age or body weight.
Eric knows competition breeds excellence, thus when Stan Efferding, the current #1 ranked raw powerlifter in the world (with a 2,200+ lbs raw total to his credit), contacted him and his father about coming out to train with them he jumped at the chance. The plans were made, and not only would they train together, they would be sharing the same platform in an upcoming meet. With these two leviathans of power teaming up in the gym there is no telling what crazy totals may come…
The future for Eric has no limits, and this strength phenom is determined to maximize his potential and be the greatest raw powerlifter the world has ever seen. We at AtLarge Nutrition are just glad to be along for the ride! We are confident that with the support our products can provide, and Eric’s tremendous work ethic and genetic potential, it is only a matter of time before he takes his place in the annals of powerlifting as the greatest raw lifter who ever lived.
