[fitnessdr]

He weighed about 204, that day, I've been told!

[kmofe12345]

i was 9 years old and this is why i wanted to grow up to be a powerlifter because of guys like ed coan , and my local heros ernie martin , dexter choi and my older brother jim mersberg. i've finally started training the way i always wanted to, and hopefully i'll put up some REAL weight. nice vid

[dudemoya]

i named my son after him, Aaron Coan Moya....

truly the greatest of all time....

[Wiegieboard]

Coan is awesome to watch. I wish I had arms as long as his.

[muzimuzi]

@Wiegieboard long arms and still benched ariund 2.5 bodyweight

[czoraa21]

who is the better powerlifter ed coan or kirk kowalski?

[terrapatra]

i wonder if i could do this could anyone tell me im 6ft3 172 pounds i can curl 90 with one arm but i can only do this for 4 reps

[vr6sy]

@terrapatra Only way to find out is to try :)

[terrapatra]

@vr6sy cant try where the fuck am i gonna get a barbell with that much weight

[tdheoembaesl]

@terrapatra I bet you could kill a tiger with your bare hands too. Oh and your penis is 32 inches long isn't it.

[terrapatra]

@tdheoembaesl that was 2 months ago, now i can dumbell curl 120 pounds for 5 reps, 90 pounds is really light now but i quit dumbell curling last week, now im doing pullups and they are really fun

[tdheoembaesl]

@terrapatra Man, in a year you will be curling like 500 pounds.

[terrapatra]

@tdheoembaesl idk, maybe i couldve

[TheRationalTeller]

@terrapatra post a video to prove it..the national record is 130 by "djcire"- look him up on youtube..

[terrapatra]

@TheRationalTeller i dont dumbell curl anymore. i am 6ft3 180 pounds. i can benchpress 300 pounds only 2 times and i can deadlift 400 pounds 3 times and i dont curl

[TheRationalTeller]

@terrapatraThat's good weight..I don't mean to sound over-critical..but videos like that are cool..I hope to post a video of a one arm chinup..was able to do 6 reps at 180ish lbs..I hope to get to one at 200 now.

[wolfgangle]

In 86 he weighed in at 198. 220 not before 88 or 89.

[t0nedude]

This guy is a fucking beast, my all-time favourite powerlifting, and best powerlifter of all time who ever lived.

Tony.

[Neilius27]

Coan is the greatest powerlifter who ever lived..This fucking guy squatted 1020 at 242 pounds,he also pulled 900 at 220 pounds..Look it up..

[xanderludwig1]

Yeah he did, that deadlift is the craziest thing... He did it in nothing but a singlet, no suits that people use these days! Only 12 people in the history of the planet have offically deadlifted 900 pounds.. The next lighest person to do it weighed 50 pounds more than Coan!! No doubt the greatest powerlifter ever. He went to open powerlifting competitions and owned the heavyweights up to 160 pounds heavier than him!

[ravsandhu1]

omg i had no idea be squatted that. i knew he pulled 900 but i didn't know about that squat. amazing!

[ItalianWarrior777]

wtf? He is fucking strong!

[Powermick]

Its definatley 855lb im looking at my ed coan book at this moment, he only made 1 successful deadlift at this meet and that was it, he squatted 920 and benched 555 for a world record total 2330lb and he weighed 213lbs.

[URAGR8M8]

Ed Coan had 95% of the strength of a 300lb lifter and he only weighed 220lbs. Amazing stuff.

[DJPLER]

thats more than 855, that mayb be 880- cuz (4) 100's w/ big clamps is 855, but there is a little something on the sides, if u look, i think it may be 875 or possibly 880

[Powermick]

it was at the aloha 1986 world champianships the weight on the bar is 855lb 1st attempt he then missed 880 on his 2nd and passed on 3rd, he's in the 220ib class.

[opusmaximus]

Thank you.

[FortusTeamGym01]

@Powermick do you know what Ed squatted at this meet?

[blego1]

I'd guess around mid to upper-700s. But that's just a wild guess.
