Ervin Gainer Sr. competed predominantly in the 114 lb/52 kg class, totaling 1,140+ lb (~518 kg) in major powerlifting competition and posting competitive bench and deadlift numbers across decades of meets.

This workout was republished Aug/2000 from POWERLIFTINGUSA.

Gainer competed in USAPL (USA Powerlifting) and IPF world championships, along with regional and national meets through the ADFPA and related drug-free federations throughout his career, showing longevity and competitive consistency across eras.

A lifter might study Gainer’s programming or meet results because he demonstrates consistent progress and resilience over many years in a lighter weight class.
