"Eric isn’t just a powerlifting coach who takes elite lifters to make them more elite. The impressive feat with his coaching was taking someone like me, who was at a novice level a couple of years ago, to a National level platform- one of the most commendable accolade with any successful powerlifting coaches. His programs are clearly well written, unique and very individualized. "
