      ERIC SPOTO "700 Raw Bench"



      Las Vegas leviathan Eric Spoto stands among the greatest bench pressers of all time and throughout history. Currently ranked as the #1 raw bencher in the world, with a jaw-dropping 700 lb competition bench, Spoto is bringing his mammoth pressing power to his lifting debut at The Cage. When asked what it felt like to be invited to display his awesome strength within these hallowed chain-link confines, Eric responded with passion,

      “Some of the craziest lifts I have ever seen have been in The Cage. I can't wait for the opportunity to have one of those lifts. The Cage is a rite of passage on the journey to becoming an elite lifter.”

      If you are a fan of powerlifting, this is one event you won't want to miss.

      I trained at that gym last December while I was at Vegas.

      Then I find out that the Monolift was Stan Efferding's and that Forza bench was Spoto's. SICK
