How much do u think a belt helps on squat and deadlift?

[ErnieLilliebridge]

@Dcgusto9 It all depends on the lifter I truly could not give you a number. I know some people that can pull more without the belt then with it on. I really don’t think it gives you very much on the deadlift. I know I can pretty much pull the same with or without a belt also you need to have a strong core to do so. Now for the squat that’s a different story, if you learn how to use it, it gives you something to push against at the bottom and helps you pop up with the squat.

looks like Chris has hit a bit of a plateau on the deadlift. just can't seem to break 816. it will probably take a few years before he pulls 900+

[ErnieLilliebridge]

@michaelzwarszawy LOL just wait in April, Chris will be doing some amazing pulls along with my Bro Eric, as of right now they are just going easy.

[michaelzwarszawy]

@ErnieLilliebridge haha i hope so man, especially for Eric he hasn't set any deadlift PRs in over a year now. although that 840 deadlift he woulda had for sure over the summer if it wasn't for him tearing his hands.

[Silvurado]

When you guys use the over/under grip, is the the overhand used with a hook grip? just wondering.

[ErnieLilliebridge]

@Silvurado No the over hand is not hooked.

[Dcgusto9]

Why did u smell the inside of a boot?

[krb0123]

Ernie, youre gunna tea bag that 765 next time!

[dt76028]

Wow I can't believe you had to post a disclaimer about Pete in your description.. Some people really need to get some common sense.

[ErnieLilliebridge]

@dt76028 I agree buddy.

[chezkenny]

Looks like you're making some awesome progress lately. Congrats. Keep it up! On a side note, who can possibly think "Freak" is any kind of disrespect? It's like the best compliment for any athlete!

[InferiorThanYou]

I love how Eric always screams LOCK IT OUT! Good vid Ernie, hilarious with the shoe sniffing! And yeah, you made 725 look like a warm up.

[tyler1394ify]

lol dude i love the intensity pete has when hes deadlifting in front of his washing machine

[ErnieLilliebridge]

@tyler1394ify Pete is the shit!

[talder123]

[ErnieLilliebridge]

@talder123 Thanks Buddy.

[DJPLER]

Nice lifting all around very strong crew! How come eric stopped at 675?

[ErnieLilliebridge]

@DJPLER Eric was not feeling 100%, bar was also slipping out of his hand.

[RayfulM5]

Nice job bro

[ErnieLilliebridge]

@RayfulM5 Thanks guys for the positve support means alot!

[EliteLifts]

LMAO @ 3:22 She Smell

[dt76028]

Damn Ernie that bar really fucked your hands up! You'll get it next time, the power is there. I noticed on your last 2 pulls, your right heel was coming up.

[ErnieLilliebridge]

@dt76028 Yeah i was way on my Toes not getting into my grove 100%, Will get it next time, and need to heal up my hands first. Also gaining weight over the last month has messed with my deadlift form, used to be 217lbs I’m now 240+lbs so my other lifts are going great my deadlift fells feels a little awkward at the moment.
