Bryson Presley Over-hyped? Lol he totaled 2463 @237 raw. Malanichev is my favorite lifter and a very humble and down-to-earth guy, but the thing is his total was 6.1 pounds heavier than Coan's while he was in the SHW class (over 308 pounds). I know it's your opinion but i just don't see why someone wouldn't agree that Coan is the GOAT.

Ed's single ply is not a standard squat suit dude. That thing would add hardly anything to his squat. This is about as strong as someone can get; and that is what powerlifting is all about. This whole raw vs. geared obsession is beyond retarded. You cannot take this lift or total away from coen because of his fucking shirt.

Got a chance to meet Ed at one of the olympia expos a year or two back, while I was working medical standby. I was star struck, and he was so humble and snapped a quick photo with me. Not only is he a beast, but he's super nice and humble about it.

how does this only have 50k views? this should be viewed by the millions

Ed was born for this sport. The best Powerlifter to ever live, period.

Met this guy years ago at the Arnold during meet. Probably the most down to earth guy I've met. Humble but absolutely a Fucking beast then and now!

In his book he lays it out very specifically. That's how meticulous he was in training and coaching. No more energy was to be wasted on anything other than the lift than absolutely required. Amazing...

Watching this video for motivation never gets old!

Love how humble Ed Coan is. Dedicated himself to something he loved and became the best ever. Lots of lessons learned from him.

humble guy and the greatest powerlifter of all time in my eyes #1 BIG ED FOREVER

Don't know when i have been more impressed!!

This is the most incredible lifting video in existence.

The GOAT! Ed played a major part in me getting into powerlifting.

you are a superstar ed!!! A bloody true inspiration.

7:15 "warmup 340kg / 749.5 lb"

I met Ed when he first started competing Nationally, if memory serves me correctly he was a 165 lb'er at the YMCA Nationals in Columbus, OH. I tore my pec in late 84' and he took the time to talk with me and give me hope, absolutely a great competitor and friend to all.

Beautiful technique as well as amazing weights!

in the backround I hear tom milanovitch , then you see tommy in other shots...he was always there for you ed..always offered encouragement and support to you...to all his friends..sadly he couldn't save himself from his own weakness...one we forgive him for because he was as we are....only human...we will miss you tom for as lond as we can remember....you were a lucky gut eddy to always have tom there backing you up...supporting you......

I remember being in the room. I had friends that worked out at quads. It was amazing watching the whole competition

Incredible lifting by the powerlifting powerhouse that is Ed Coan,looked like he could do more in all 3 lifts as well..

Oh shit, that was a nice opening! Smoothed, controlled and perfect technique!

I wish there was a way we could extrapolate Ed's totals if he was as heavy as a guy like Andrey Malanichev. Ed's lifts are mind-boggling !

+stephen ruby I mentioned this to another poster but Ed did not test positive for steroids in 2 of the three suspensions by the IPF. The first time he DID test positive and he readily admitted he'd taken some Deca 6months prior to heal his torn pec and didn't realize how long it stayed in the system. The last two times he did NOT test positive for steroids. His test/epi-testosterone ratio has too high both times which implies he was using external testosterone. Ed denied ever doing that but the IPF basically didn't care.

Not in the AM bro

a 2463 total... what makes him the GOAT is that this is essentially a raw total with those knee wraps not doing much more than ace bandage and the shirt and singlet not giving more than a tight under armour shirt. even though this is a single ply total, he could have easily pulled off at least a 2200-2300 total in today's raw IPF/USAPL federation as a 220 or 242 lifter which would be even today absolutely untouchable.

Still unbelievable...

@josephknecht4272

That walk out is without peer. Total control of over 1000 pounds! Walking out the weight takes a tremendous amount of energy. Today, lifters not only squat above parallel, but do not have to walk out the weight when the meet involves the appropriate equipment. Ed Coan's squat at this meet looked easy. He had another 30 to 50 pounds in him.

Pure beast!

Coan's world records are mine

I like how he actually hits parallel on those squats... some of these new guys I wonder sometimes.

Note that Ed Coan's lifts were completed under IPF Rules. Single layered suits and standard 2 meter knee wraps.

Class act.

I find it amusing that the vast majority of comparison lifters mentioned in an attempt to downplay the amazing talent of Ed Coan and his G.O.A.T status, shows an equally amazing failure to grasp the concept of body weight by said posters. Show me a lifter who can lift the weights of Coan without ridiculous gear and without the sissy mono lift with a comparable body weight and I'll eat my proverbial hat. Until then, the door's there...GTFO. As a last mention, also note that Ed has exceeded each of these lifts singularly on separate occasions, with a similar body weight and condition. 471kg squat, 265kg bench and 409kg deadlift (this at 100kg bw sumo!)

@ReddingRed

+TheT0nedude I agree with your assessment and it's actually quite brilliant. Ed had to lift, step back, and stabilize with a half ton on his back. The amount of time and effort that takes saps the entire body of energy. Re-racking is the same thing. Having to walk it back in makes the lift much harder. For those who want to really examine Ed's benching versus lots of people in modern day powerlifting, just look at how he was able to move his upper body. The bench shirts today make if difficult for lifters to lay down without having their arms stuck in the "up" position. They need 500 pounds on the bar just to get the bar to travel down to their chest! The shirt is a spring that adds more than 200 pounds to max bench numbers. Ed Coan is the most physically gifted lifter of our time.

@TheT0nedude

8 жыл бұрын

COPFIT Media Agreed of course. If Ed had ever stooped to using the pussy monolift I'm sure he could've added more to his already massive squat. It's a fact that Ed lifted true super heavy weight class lifts at 110kg (maybe even at 100kg). He first hit a 1000kg total at 90kg(!) which is frankly ridiculous, at that meet the guy in 2nd (from Finland IIRC) had a total 10% less than him. When has that ever happened in any other world class level sport? (It just doesn't). Most of the guys lifting comparable weights were benefiting from 20-50kg of extra bodyweight, and the effect that has cannot be understated.

booby b Just checked them out and both very strong lifters. It's possible for sure although Jesse is young and time will tell. Coan dominated 5 body weight classes with well over 10x totals (in each) from teenage years and up. Jesse usually competes raw (kudos) - which is very difficult to evaluate compared to equipped. Just watched Jesse pull 800lbs raw @198lbs (although lockout was suspect) but nevertheless impressive indeed -this was exhibition not judged. Compare that to Coan who pulled 860 at same bodyweight (also raw) at the Worlds. Only lift Coan actually did raw...

The best ever...Ed Coan

Man that crowd was fired up

The number of people spotting that Squat is insane.

One of the greatest ever, absolutely brutal speed!,. Who else can pull like that? both conventional and sumo and weigh 108. Amazing!.
