As for that video, the 45's on the handles are actually making it easier for him on the decline hammer strength. Try it take all the weight off and put 45's just on the handles the weight will fall forward.
As for Eric, there is absoulutely nothing to hate on. The dude is the Ronnie Coleman of the bench press at the moment. I say that being someone who has benched a significiant amount of weight raw. The guy's strength is unreal on the bench.
