In another "extra" interview, this week Bain and Stone chat with Bob Merkh, a 2-time WPO Super-Finals Runner-up. Bob has competition best lifts of 1160 / 810 / 805 and a 2710lb total at 275lbs. He has a #5 all-time squat at 275 (1150), #6 all-time 308lb squat, and his 275lb total is #4 all-time. Additionally, Bob is a middle school social studies teacher, and has quite the home gym set-up in his basement. The boys discuss how he got into powerlifting, his training philosophy, his experience in the WPO, and how he built-up his home gym, among other issues.
