NICE PENISORIS.

Good form and depth. The monolift has helped limit injuries as the walkout and set-up has been eliminated. His brother and father are also accomplished PL'ers.

Stronger than me. Didn't like the spotters touching the weights the entire time and the back spotter touching him the entire time but that's a big strong fucker.

Impressive strength?! THE GUY'S A FREAK.
I tend to think, however, that his longevity in the sport, certainly at this level, will be short-lived. He's too young and his body hasn't had enough time to develop the structural integrity needed to continue to receive this type of punishment. In other words, he hasn't earned the right to move the amount of weight that he does.
The guy is an astounding strength athlete, regardless of drugs, obviously. But that the drugs have allowed him to progress so fast and to such heights spells disaster, one way or another.
I hope I am wrong.

another freak

Unreal

fixed.
So?
He has one of best squats in the history of mankind. Do you realise what this means? Out of thousands of people who took drugs and wanted to squat as much as possible he is the best.
So now, who the fuck are you?

Honestly I would like to see what he could do without bullshit spotters and no wraps at all. I think he could surpass everyone ever. Then, when he destroys everyone in history, he has my permission to die :D No, but seriously, I agree that at this level the injury is just waiting to happen and he should just break every record possible ASAP.
Oh and these wraps doesn't give much, I don't know what this is but they are no THP tight wraps, this is more something like Rehband/sbd sleeves, maybe slightly better. It's a shame some federations consider squat with knee wraps "raw".
another freak
Not raw but still strong as fuck.
This is biggest raw squat in IPF ever. I would like to see Eric beat this guy in similar fashion.

Lilliebridge is a monster. He clearly has the genetics in place (look at his father and brother) and from what I have read a very good training system (i.e. focusing on the basics, not relying on fancy equipment and training techniques like bands/chains, dynamic effort etc). He is also clearly using anything he can get his hands on and as others have mentioned his meteoric rise at such a young age might just be too much too soon...
Christensen is a brilliant squatter. Equipped and raw, his technique is fantastic. Look at his squat and compare it to some of the other record breaking equipped "squats" to see what I'm talking about.
As for the fools mentioning how Lilliebridge looks like shit... Yeah I guess instead of being one of the strongest males in the world he would rather be a 185 pound "male physique enthusiast" with six-pack abs and 16 inch arms who spends most of his time weighing out portions of sweet potato and dry chicken breast on a digital scales.

This is way more impressive:

Kid is a beast but has torn a few muscles already. Once thing start falling apart it's hard to keep them from going again.
Crazy strong
Halo, not 100 for a novice with light weight, that's like ppl saying a bench shirt will,give you 300lbs.. Yes if you're already benching over 500

ERIC LILLEBRIDGE LOOK LIKE SHIT??????
lololololololol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
First off he's not concerned with how he looks he's concerned with becoming possibly the greatest powerlifter to ever live. And if he really wanted to he's probably about 12 weeks away from looking better than 99% of the people on this board.
some of you people are so fucking delusional. my god.

LOL! That's quite a high blood pressure & obese powerlifting-related meltdown ::)
This is exactly the opposite of a bodybuilder who tries to explain to a powerlifter that it's not about the weight, but about the muscle stimulation without fucking the joints.
Again: HE LOOKS LIKE SHIT, even with a single digit bodyfat rate.

first off the fact that you think that's "single digit bodyfat" just shows you have ZERO idea what you're talking about. he's not even close to single digits.
secondly, saying "he looks like shit" is ridiculous. does he look like a competitive bodybuilder in contest shape? NO. of course not. he's a powerlifter. and if he wanted to, i'm sure he could do very well in bodybuilding if he put his mind to it.
why do you judge powerlifters by bodybuilding standards? only idiots who have zero experience with either would do that.
thirdly, meltdown? you're the one attacking the best POWERLIFTER today by saying he looks like shit. you're an idiot.

and yes if you have an opinion on a bodybuilding contest where two guys are competing for the same thing, (i.e. to have the best all around physique), and you have an opinion on who is better, then you're correct no you shouldn't have to have your own pics in order to have that opinion.
but if you're talking about a picture of a POWERLIFTER, who is not competing in a bodybuilding contest, and you're throwing out insults about his physique, then you're just a fucking asshole who is melting down because you're a jealous little twink.

The idiotic commentary from those who desire to trash on an athlete who trains to become world-class strong is beyond measure of such.
Typical of Generation Nothingness, though, I suppose: Celebrate style and appearance over substance and performance.
If you so dislike pure strength sports and the athletes, why bother discussing anything in a thread devoted to these things? And if you choose to participate, why criticize their appearance?
You don't want to be them ... and, believe me, they certainly do not want to be you. They're too busy slowly becoming the greatest examples of human strength to have ever walked this planet.
You? You're just doing twink workouts, doing steady-state cardio and weighing your sweet potatoe ... all to be a lean 180-pound waif. That is, unless you boatload some drugs, and push that weight up to 240 pounds and eventually suffer health woes/organ failure. For what? A plastic trophy. Or the admiration of no one but gays in the gym locker room (no one will know you're muscular unless you remove your shirt, after all, if you're 180 pounds).
You will be just another guy with a six-pack.
They will be the strongest men to walk the Earth.

Actually, notice that top tier weightlifters and powerlifters suffer less injuries than top level bodybuilders. I know many national level powerfliters and bodybuilders from my country and somehow these strong dudes don't have nearly as much problems as bodybuilders. Now, why is that?
My friend, bodybuilder, tore his biceps few weeks ago. Upper tendon, nasty shit. Luckily, he will be allright (which is very rare with this kind of injury) but after consultation with excellent surgeon who specializes in these kind of injuries he asked the surgeon why he had such injury despite using moderate weights for years?
Too much muscle, replied surgeon. If you train in 3-5 range your hypertrophy is limited, tendons have time to adapt to new muscle. If you build a lot of muscle quickly with drugs and training in hypertrophy range tendons aren't strong enough to "hold" such big muscles and they just break.
That's why we hard about so many top guys tearing their muscles in most ridiculous ways.
Bodybuilding, unlike weightlifting, powerlifting, strongman and other sports is completely unnatural. You don't develop functional, strong body, you develop muscles. That's your only concern. Oldschool guys knew they had to stretch, perform every exercise in full ROM, implement basic exercises... Nowadays they just use machines and think they are "safe" because of that. They couldn't be further from the truth.

First of all, finally a well-argumented post.
I don't have injury statistics about bodybuilding and powerlifting, but I believe that both sports (please, not that BB isn't a sport discussion again) have their risks when it comes to training. We have Scott Mendelson who blew his chest and we have Branch Warren who blew... almost anything. Powerlifters are smart in a sense that they work much more together than most bodybuilders do; there's more focus on lifting techniques.
Bodybuilding is def unnatural (in multiple ways, LOL), but so is powerlifting with all those suits, drugs and obesity (translation: a limited ROM in the bench press, so more weight on the bar).
True, many guys seem to have the illusion that a machine is more safe than a free weight.

First of all, obsesity is only prevalent in superheavy weight class. With no weight limit there are no boundaries and even in weightlifting which is far more "athletic" sport than powerlifting most of the superheavies are just fat fucks. Of course, since they move most amount of weight, majority of focus goes to guys like Eric. But bear in mind that they are maybe 1% of our community.
About 50% of powerlifting community consists of delusional fat fucks who squat maybe 140kg x3, low bar, with belt, questionable depth with hoodie on and gut hanging thinking they are fucking badass. You know the type.
Rest of our community, which is competetive powerlifters in light, medium or even heavy weight classes are fairly lean. Some of powerlifters are fucking shredded year round.
(http://images.t-nation.com/forum_images/auto/r/786x0/2/a/2a58c_ORIG-KirkKarwoski.jpg)
I've competed two times in national level competition in powerlifting and I won't be able to send pictures but trust me, upper echelon of every weight class consisted of lean motherfuckers. In order to be competetive you just have to be around 10% bf. There are exceptions of course, but for most of us, 20% means being fucking destroyed by someone with same bodyweight and height but more muscle and less fat.
Now, you can always argue that kind of physique that powerlifting produces looks like shit even if one is lean. Yeah, strong core, arms not too big, dense and powerful look to the physique... Not everyone likes it. But hey, I always liked that look. I never wanted to look like fitness model. I remember when I went to bodybuilding show years ago and I wasn't impressed at all. Then competed in powerlifting for the first time and I was like FUCK, these guys look phenomenal! So you know, to each his own I guess.
Everything I write concerns raw powerlifting. I think suited lifts resemble modern professional bodybuilding - freak show, not a sport. Yes I admire top tier guys for their work but I cannot watch it and I cannot force myself to be impressed by it. You know, when world record in bench press in shirt is higher than deadlift record you know something is just not fucking right. There are cases where people died because of use of suits. Hopefully IPF will one day drop suits and switch to raw only and every other federation out there will follow.

To be fair, today's bodybuilders don't look all that good either.

Very good points about raw powerlifting ^ by Deceiver. I think you've really hit on the issue - overly fat heavyweight powerlifters relying on excessive support gear and questionable range of motion has somewhat tarnished ALL of powerlifting with a certain image.
But raw powerlifting, lifting huge weights in the squat, bench and deadlift will unquestionably lead to a muscular physique which is not the main objective or goal but rather a side effect. During competition the competitors do everything they can to carry some extra bodyfat and water bloat while remaining within there weight class to help with leverage, counter weight etc.
But make no mistake - raw powerlifters, even the heaviest weight classes, are never more than a 16-20 week diet away from being jacked and shredded. The difference is most of them care way more about being strong as shit rather than counting grams of carbs, training their abs and trying to look like David Beckham.
-
I guess Dave looks like shit as well. I competed with him this past summer at an expo.....he looked better then the twinks on stage. The truth is these guys make the squat rack curlers feel bad about themselves.
