Ed Coan Squat Injury 2002

[EmotionalShredd]

what actually happened with his knee here? what did tear?

[pattypooh5]

I was scared to watch this and really didnt want to. kinda reminds me of Joe Theismans leg getting popped.

[219Hammond]

I blew my acl and tore my myniscus and after surgery and pt I still squat today, ed coan is what chuck norris checks under his bed for.

[frillylizzard]

The Great Ed Coan. "Move me out the way so someone else can lift." that sums the guy up..

[fks1964]

@steveninthematrix Hell Yeah He is a BEAST!

[psolarhidi]

"Move me out of the way so someone else can lift"

He's a fucking legend

[dnj86]

I've never seen effective spotting for squatters when they bomb a lift

[SmexyPC]

@dnj86 he dropped that weight which is around 900lbs+.. the spotters cant react fast enough for that drop..

[largeLENTILS]

ed coan = BAD ASS.

[AmericanEuro1]

If that was a ligament, he want be doing squats again. Ever.

[6reevesy9]

@AmericanEuro1 was his leg and his knee. and he still squats today actually

[Powerliftershawnr]

@AmericanEuro1 wrong.. he blew an ACL and still came back and later about a year or 2 later squated over 1,000 lbs...

[paperboy1215]

He got balls. After watching this I'm scared of doing squats

[alehax27]

You could tell it was too much weight the moment he took it off the stand.

[505outlaw]

alotta weight alotta pain

[Bookstop1337]

Fucking Christ I nearly passed out seeing that.. could be cause I have my own injury right now..

[ElGrandeJiP]

Damn lucky no one else got hurt from the dump.

[forestelder]

what a morron, the human body is not build for such weights.

[holeediver]

@forestelder a moron? ed coan is arguably the greatest powerlifter who ever lived. he put up some fucking immense weights like this one time and time again that would crush the average pussy like you. maybe a cunt like you would shy away from doing what ed did on a daily basis. but thats why hes ed coan and you're a fucking nobody

[holeediver]

@forestelder oh nevermind, you're a "fitness" buff i see on your channel. that explains it all. go hit the bosu ball you fag

[freakxxxxxl]

fucking hell man i think seeing it ounce is enough for me jesus. and yh what he said was pure class.

[libertyisbest]

i think the inner ligamentum of the left knee was ruptured, and the cross ligaments

[xgringoattackx]

yea! \m/

[JakeEwing5]

This made me cringe so bad. This dude's got some nice accident reflexes though, jumping out of the way of the bar like that.

[katietigershark]

ed coan is a legend powerlifter happens to the best of them, don't ever think it can't happen to you

[zekeg]

wat injury did he have

[plantera07]

geez, did he really say that? what a legend

[DeleeP]

Wow it went quiet real fast..

[HippySaysMeh]

Found this on 4chan /fit/. Huh.

[boovalagrish]

@HippySaysMeh <--- No, - I found it on my video camera when I personally videotaped it.

[beerdeddi]

"...easy way, come on, lets groovin´..." "AH....oohhhh God, aaahaahhaaaaaaa!"

[bsol07]

damn that must have really hurt his knee!

...because he hit his face right into the rack and didn't even seem to feel it!

[czoraa21]

oh man i felt that one!

[yepure]

and this is how u say bbye to squats forever

[boovalagrish]

@yepure Mr Coan came back just fine

[ahmednabil]

@boovalagrish

was is the tendon that snapped or the his ligaments .

[MurdaMook011]

@yepure came back to squat 929 in his last meet, ed didn't give a shit.

[MEELATEHGRIL]

@yepure You wouldn't understand this, but when you actually have a spine, it's possible to recover from a setback.

[SuperGilberto1977]

do i realy want to watch this? its still on pause.

[boovalagrish]

@SuperGilberto1977 Yes You Do! Play Away..

[mac2k2020]

He's a pro ... that's how you drop the weight.... from behind

Quick reaction!!!!



[SuperGilberto1977]

@mac2k2020 ....umm how else are you going to drop the weight? its 900 pounds you just can chuck it over to the said idiot.

[mac2k2020]

@SuperGilberto1977

a lot of people try to drop it from the front

[Alderslodge]

Imagine what his knee would have been like if the wrap wasn't there..

[ericarmstrong1]

Wow, gruesome. They're lucky none of the spotters were badly hurt as well. Ed's one hell of a tough man. He'll always be a standard other lifters measure themselves against. From all I hear he's also a heck of a great person as well.

[MrChrisheinz]

That sucks...i tore the hamstring today!

[ekpremareggie1]

This is bad. In fact my wife's worst nightmare. She hated watching me squat in meets, but then again I was not squatting 900+ pounds either. It was good to see Ed come back from this to lift again. He is one of the all time greats!

[lift2live1]

the spotter on the left is mike tuscherer !

[xjusticex2013x]

@lift2live1 Hey, I think you're right! I also like how all of the spotters simultaneously get the "OH SHI-" look on their face.

[mylesman99]

So did he blow his knee out or did something snap?

[boovalagrish]

Patellar tendon rupture?

[OmgitsCoty]

wow, that sent chills down my spine..

[beerdeddi]

knee snap!

[ScottLongh]

The hardest part of this video was hearing his moans :(

[erik3423]

is it me or does the guy to the right of the middle spotter start to laugh when coan drops the weight? look around the 40 second mark

[hockeyguy10101010]

your right !

what an ass hole

[19tuureluur86]

You are one dumb idiot!

[johnnyu3]

i don't know if the guy is laughing or opened his mouth in shock.

[DarkJinx257]

I think the spotter is gritting his teeth. Probably imagining how much pain Ed felt.

[PowerSprinter]

no, i see it, but i think thats more of a grimace, it can be mistaken for a smile, but i can tell its more like a "shhhhh, thats gotta kill" face

[Brads1111]

Feel like it was a grimmace. Watch his top lip recede.

[TheMightykaz]

No he wasnt laughing......I looked at it again he opened his mouth and showed his teeth but it was more of a look of shock.

[ArnoldisMyNigga]

thats my nigga right there.

[beerdeddi]

"Easy Way, lets groovin´"..."AAHHH"........ooh­hhh

Goooooood.........aaaahhhhaaaa­hhhhhhhhh.....

[beerdeddi]

such a idiot...

[Schwarzalbenheimen]

Fuck off beerdeddi you don't know anything.

[helpcurecatholicism]

Oh yeah he is such an idiot. An idiot for being one of the best in is sport. A legend at that.

[finalresistance]

an idiot you say? What you would call idiocy, i would call tenacity.

He wasn't afraid of failing, and getting injured, his go for the gold mentality is the reason why he is the best powerlifter to ever walk the earth. Who the fuck are you again?

[Djallen2000]

Amen, Ed rocks!!

[fishman765]

well that is why I am never going to squat much over 300, because i value my knees. but hes not an idiot for working towards his goal. what are you, a fat lazy ass who sits on his couch all day eating pizza and drinking pop?

[SJRogers]

I hope and pray that that will NEVER happen to me for as long as I live.

[desmcc01]

@SJRogers This happened to me. Put me off squats for a year, but back on it.

[squat625]

yea ouch

[str8t6]

my knee hurts just watching that
