Great Lift easy lift from the King of Kings. Siiiiiggghhh why does powerlifting and bodybuilding have the Biggest Retards Giant, RonMeijers and gymman62
No I did. And Levrone was good for 3 reps with 500 in training. Coan was able to hit 555 for heavy doubles and triples in training. Coan was close gripping with pauses what Levrone was benching. I like Levrone too, I met him last spring, but his strength couldn't touch Coan's.
@Rael7 Lol Levrone did it on a freaking smith machine. Do you know what that it? There's a huge difference. Plus his spotter was doing some of the work. You fail.
Please GOOGLE up the website ans it has a great article of strongnem from the 1950s and 1960s.
"Lesser nown Strongmen of the 1950s and 1960s" by Steve Neese.
Over 45 years ago Steve Mejarian did 390 seated all the way down to his shoulders and back up at 5'11" and 290 pounds. Long before this massive roid ear.
Damn, that was insane, for such poundage! BTW, when behind the neck (shoulder) presses are done, your ROM is supposed to be where you go down to ear level, which he did. Any deeper, and your shoulders would be torn apart... Good job!!
it's really a lock out which are used all the time for lifting more than you can in a full movement. ed was probably doing this at the end of his shoulder pressing for extra weight. that's why he didn't go all the way down.
I'm loving it! I'm sick of watching guys call there incline bench press a shoulder press. If you're leaning so far back you're pressing the bar up at just a bit more than 45 degrees of your chest, you're doing an incline press.
I want some of these supposed 'all stars' to bring it down behind their head and stop calling their seated incline bench press a world record shoulder press.
@13andincrediblycut are you retarded? thats perfect for shoulder press, any lower and you risk tearing a rotator cuff, ESPECIALLY behind the head. gtfo
@pumpmctank No, you must be the retarded one, because full-range is always more beneficial than short-range. I would give you examples but fear you stupidity will restrain you from understanding or paying attention to common sense while it looks you right to your face.
You should read my article I intelligently wrote on full-ROM in forms of exercises, such as shoulder/neck presses/military presses and more. It's located on my channel on my Wordpress site. You NEED to see that article badly.
@13andincrediblycut behind the neck? no. that is a shoulder press, coming down to your chest is a military press, which from a performance standpoint is better. from a bodybuilding standpoint however, that rom hits the shoulders perfectly fine with minimal risk of injury, which is key considering the poundage being used. once again, GTFO
i once did 100 pounds clean and jerk to a shoulder press to a squat to a good morning to a behind the neck press then back to a deadlift and then shoulder front raised it.
I take about 5000mg of steroids daily and eat toothpaste. It the miracle drug. The toothpaste makes it so you can grow a huge penis and you can be a man. thumbs up. please for my brother!
@762full behind the neck is actually just a different form of the military press and is considered a partial lift, since as you can see he goes halfway down...to the point where your arms are parallel to the floor
I would STRONGLY suggest that folks NOT do behind the neck presses. It places far too much strain on your shoulders. I tore my shoulder out of the socket doing this. It's never been the same. Just so military presses. Going behind the neck is bad news. You can hate all you like, but I've never been injured in years of bodybuilding, except for this exercise and my shoulder injury.
bich pleez aint no bnp kraka yo gots to bring that shit oll the way down to yo reer delts fo bnp he jus cheetin coz he a pusey an tryn be a heman whitey wont to get a clu fas or he ter his sholder apat
As great as he was, it would have been a lot more classy if he DIDN'T enter drug tested competitions while on drugs. There are tons of non-tested feds out there and he could have simply competed in those rather than cheating and getting caught. I know lots of lifters use steroids, but many are honest enough NOT to compete in tested divisions.
Lol, I remember this guy that you replied to (TAKEMARU666), he claimed that he could do more than Mark Felix on the viking press because his family is from Scandinavia, what a poser ^^.

well i rep 100 dumbelss easy and my max lockouts on bench is like 715 thats what ive done raw. im all natural only 19 just eat food lol no supplments no protien shakes. my max bench is like 450 currently. lockouts are easier ofcourse cuz u dont even go 90. close tho. if i did a 90 degree max on bench might be 500 or more cuz i go past 90 on bench cuz i touch chest
thats real cool! im only 11 yrs, but i recently leg pressed 1500lbs and benched 900lbs for reps. im still small, only 290lbs. natural of course. i only eat doritos and drink heavy cream. im ripped, btw
@Idonthinkso7331 wow your weak as shit, i warmup by doing some black hole gravity escapes (aka impossible to escape) then i play pool with galaxies. finally i bench press a stick and 2 marshmellows.
@aaadddaaammm777 black hole gravity escapes is nothing. Im so strong that when i tried punching for the first time there was a supersingularity formed witch we know as the universe today. your move ;)
That's nothing bro... When I squat, I don't move the weight, I actually push the world slightly out of balance. And I'm 6 and consume only motor oil and paper ashes.
@GIANTreed1 That's admittedly quite impressive, but I've got you beat---I eat nails, brush my teeth with sandpaper, create ATP and synthetic testosterone from the oxygen in the atmosphere, and I can do 1-arm curls with a Dodge Viper
There are videos on YouTube of Kevin Levrone doing BNP with 400 lbs for reps on a smith machine. He is in contest shape looking very impressive w low BF%. Amazing strength, world class physique & a real good guy too.
That's far thicker than 2 45s. Go into a gym and load 2 45s like that on the bar and tell me if it's that thick. This is 400 pounds. Ed Coan wouldn't do singles with 300 pounds for a behind the neck press.
there's 3 45's, a 35, and a 5 visible on the side closest to the camera, which adds up to 395. if there's a clip on each side that makes it around 400.
You think you know,but you have no idea....Injuries that often come from full r.o.m btn presses isnt because of the stress on the heads of the delts.Its because of the stress on the shoulder joint its self.Some people can get by with them,and some cant. Skirts365 has no clue as to why powerlifters do what they do,so his discussion on this subject is useless.Coan is a powerlifting legend and has done more than skirts and morry will ever do no matter what r.o.m is used.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
My best free bar BNP was 220 pounds at 152 & I never knew where to get any drugs. It was done from squat resting position---as in, a high position, not a third of the way down the back like PL's do. I dispute your views. Only time I had any shoulder problem was in 1 second presses bottom to lockout with 135, got tendonitis. Apparently Coan didn't do 90 pounds more than me on each side of bar because as I say, he didn't negotiate a full range. I won't debate this any more for lack of time.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
The weight should descend to touching the top squat position before starting back up. In this case, it was inches short, meaning, this was a cheating lift. That's what powerlifters all do. They lessen the strictness of lifts by decreasing the range of movement to make their bars more impressive. None of them are as strong as their bars suggest.
But here, it is not. The nature of the behind the neck press demands NOT putting it down in the squat position because it is very likely to destroy your shoulders from that position. Any such movement from down there would be done with insignificant weight.
Or maybe he's actually strong and isn't trying to have his shoulders fly out of their sockets by taking a big ass slab of weight like that and dropping it below the necessary range of motion. Great form.
Strong yes, but a bit under 400 pounds. Taken down the whole way would have been too heavy---risky is just an excuse. When I did the one arm chin up I did it with full arm extension, no elbow bend to start, feet free of supporting objects, free hand in pocket. See when you do less than full range, any move gets easier & poundage possibility goes up. End of story. Powerlifter---go ass to floor in pausing wrapless front squat so we can all see how strong you REALLY are.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I'm out of time for this topic. No minds will be changed on either side. Reason PL's defend their partial squats and partial PBN's is to show heavier bar only. Lots of people do full range carefully without damage. By training only the strongest range of motion, they're cheating themselves of more strength. In squat the closer to bottom we go the harder it gets. PL's don't want to lift stricter since that would make their bars look less impressive. That's also why all the BP gear is seen.
I disagree, if done correctly there should be be no probs,
The stress on the three shoulder heads on a behind neck press done PROPERLY is far superior to overall development achieved by a military style press which places the stress more on the front head.
If only an idiot would do it then i assure you there are thousands of injury free idiots out there with massive shoulders
I think its a bad myth that behind the neck is dangerous. you are entitled to your opinion though.
When I do behind the neck I cant even begin to tell you how much it stresses my joints. Feels so unnatural compared to doing militarypresses infront. When I go down it feelsl ike my delts is going to snap almost. Think its pretty much indivdual what presse u can do and what works the best for you.
steroids dont diminish anyones achievements. theyre not a crutch or some stupid shit like that, just a tool. he still has to lift the weight. all elite athletes take steroids. people he was competing with were also on steroids.
coan is a legend, taking steroids dont diminish what he achieved. all world record makers in all sports take drugs. to not take drugs would be to compete at a disadvantage. sad but true
He was competing in a drug tested federation. Competing on steroids in a drug tested fed is cowardly and most certainly cheating. I think Coan was still a noteworthy and amazing athlete given that just about all powerlifters use steroids even in tested feds, but the bottom line is that cheating is cheating and if he wanted to juice he should have just stuck with non-tested meets.

You should bring the bar to the base of the neck...But going lower is nuts..I tried 365lb free weights and the bar went down WAY below the neck.. The spotter claimed I still got the lift..He just balanced the bar. I still have my doubts.. The crowd didn't think so. But I got up 375 on my next attempt.. The crowd cheered and I felt it was all me.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Yeah.. Behind the neck, my favorite Exercise.. Was doing 400 on the smith machine. 375LB free weight..18 YRs old.. Was at a sanctioned APA meet in 91.
awesome lift. thats 400 pounds. i did 315 myself stading. i have the same built as him. not 240 though 220. was 220. so, i know how strong you have to be to lift that much. i always admired him, since the 80s. good stuff.
I don't do that lift, I've done military presses with 225, but I haven't done behind the neck in years, it's a dangerous excersice, but it does work the muscle good
you only need to go til your arms are parallel to the floor to work the side and rear delts really well. more than that and you're askin for an injury.
Overhead press doesn't work rear delts, why don't you learn some anatomy before postin' bullshit. It works front and rear dealts and injury won't develop from just one time, you have to do it over some period of time then you'll experience it.
"doesn't work rear delts" followed by "it works front and rear delts." lol what a moron. Presses in front of the face work mostly front delts, behind the head works mostly side and rear delts. i know anatomy. you can get hurt doing anything one time. how stupid can you be in one single comment? you can go too low one time and drop the weight and rip your shoulder apart. stupid people online are gonna get someone hurt with bad info.
You fuckin moron. Do you even know where rear delt attaches and his actions? It is only involved in transverse extension so it's in no way affected with overhead presses. Rear delts work while doing pullups, for example, which are the exact opposite motion of overhead presses. Any logic, bitch? Bad form can get you hurt on any exercise, not just this one so cut the crap. Please, do not argue on the area you're not familiar with, I personally disected muscles on the corpses so stfu.
Okay, do me a favor, raise your hand in the air as you'd do when performing overhead press. Now touch your rear deltoid, if you even know how to find it. It feels soft, doesn't it?
Croatia is lucky to have you lol. BEHIND-THE-NECK, your rear delts play a big part. FEEL THEM when the weight is BEHIND your head. or try actually doing them in the gym, if you even lift...i guess you don't use your rear delts when you bench, do you? ass. you obviously are one of those internet know it alls with the scientific definition, and no real life experience. go give a blow job to a Colt .45
Wow, you come here and talk shit with no arguments to back it up. You're a fuckin idiot unworthy of arguing with and a weak bitch no doubt about it. You have no knowlede of the even basic anatomy and I'm quite sure you can't even differentiate your rear delt from your lateral dealt. I'm not gonna waste my time arguing with a worthless insignificant and moronic internet toughguy.
Okay, let's get something clear - contrary to the popular belief, Croatia is not a backward, undeveloped country. We have strong economy and tourism, we're about to join EU, so your opinions are outdated. We're the most developed country on the Balkan, besides Greece.

Skirts365 has no clue as to why powerlifters do what they do,so his discussion on this subject is useless.Coan is a powerlifting legend and has done more than skirts and morry will ever do no matter what r.o.m is used.

My best free bar BNP was 220 pounds at 152 & I never knew where to get any drugs. It was done from squat resting position---as in, a high position, not a third of the way down the back like PL's do. I dispute your views. Only time I had any shoulder problem was in 1 second presses bottom to lockout with 135, got tendonitis. Apparently Coan didn't do 90 pounds more than me on each side of bar because as I say, he didn't negotiate a full range. I won't debate this any more for lack of time.

The weight should descend to touching the top squat position before starting back up. In this case, it was inches short, meaning, this was a cheating lift. That's what powerlifters all do. They lessen the strictness of lifts by decreasing the range of movement to make their bars more impressive. None of them are as strong as their bars suggest.
skirts365 3 years ago
Sometimes this is done, especially in the IPA.
But here, it is not. The nature of the behind the neck press demands NOT putting it down in the squat position because it is very likely to destroy your shoulders from that position. Any such movement from down there would be done with insignificant weight.

Yeah... he definitely did push presses though, not straight behind the neck presses. I think even Mariusz shoulders might hate that.
Doesnt take away the beastlyness of people pressing more than double what I can jerk nowadays though...
Shaolos 2 years ago
Or maybe he's actually strong and isn't trying to have his shoulders fly out of their sockets by taking a big ass slab of weight like that and dropping it below the necessary range of motion. Great form.
Askren 3 years ago
Strong yes, but a bit under 400 pounds. Taken down the whole way would have been too heavy---risky is just an excuse. When I did the one arm chin up I did it with full arm extension, no elbow bend to start, feet free of supporting objects, free hand in pocket. See when you do less than full range, any move gets easier & poundage possibility goes up. End of story. Powerlifter---go ass to floor in pausing wrapless front squat so we can all see how strong you REALLY are.
skirts365 3 years ago
Why would someone who is posterior chain dominant athlete compete in a movement that is quadricep dominant and let himself be judged on that?
You could say as well : Come on Olympif Lifter, show me how you bench press 1000lbs, so we can see how strong you really are.

I'm out of time for this topic. No minds will be changed on either side. Reason PL's defend their partial squats and partial PBN's is to show heavier bar only. Lots of people do full range carefully without damage. By training only the strongest range of motion, they're cheating themselves of more strength. In squat the closer to bottom we go the harder it gets. PL's don't want to lift stricter since that would make their bars look less impressive. That's also why all the BP gear is seen.

Couldnt agree more, the short range is for visual effect only

morry27 2 years ago
full range behind the neck is going to blow out the shoulder joint, only an idiot would do it
monsta2679 2 years ago
I disagree, if done correctly there should be be no probs,
The stress on the three shoulder heads on a behind neck press done PROPERLY is far superior to overall development achieved by a military style press which places the stress more on the front head.
If only an idiot would do it then i assure you there are thousands of injury free idiots out there with massive shoulders
I think its a bad myth that behind the neck is dangerous. you are entitled to your opinion though.
morry27 2 years ago
When I do behind the neck I cant even begin to tell you how much it stresses my joints. Feels so unnatural compared to doing militarypresses infront. When I go down it feelsl ike my delts is going to snap almost. Think its pretty much indivdual what presse u can do and what works the best for you.

Ed Coan is the disgrace of powerlifting with a lifetime ban from ever competing again.
Ed Coan was kicked out of the USAPL for drug dealing.
Ed Coan has tested positive multiple times. He was caught trying to smuggle drugs back too.
Say what you want about Ed Coan but he will always be known as a cheater and a disgrace.

coan is a legend, taking steroids dont diminish what he achieved. all world record makers in all sports take drugs. to not take drugs would be to compete at a disadvantage. sad but true
monsta2679 3 years ago 6
indeed...
in my opinion drugs do not make powerlifter a cheater..
unless hes competiting against someone who doesnt use drugs that is
rantanen1 3 years ago 3
He was competing in a drug tested federation. Competing on steroids in a drug tested fed is cowardly and most certainly cheating. I think Coan was still a noteworthy and amazing athlete given that just about all powerlifters use steroids even in tested feds, but the bottom line is that cheating is cheating and if he wanted to juice he should have just stuck with non-tested meets.

You should bring the bar to the base of the neck...But going lower is nuts..I tried 365lb free weights and the bar went down WAY below the neck.. The spotter claimed I still got the lift..He just balanced the bar. I still have my doubts.. The crowd didn't think so. But I got up 375 on my next attempt.. The crowd cheered and I felt it was all me.

you only need to go til your arms are parallel to the floor to work the side and rear delts really well. more than that and you're askin for an injury.
zztoproadster 4 years ago 3
Overhead press doesn't work rear delts, why don't you learn some anatomy before postin' bullshit. It works front and rear dealts and injury won't develop from just one time, you have to do it over some period of time then you'll experience it.
UrizenTheNegator 3 years ago
"doesn't work rear delts" followed by "it works front and rear delts." lol what a moron. Presses in front of the face work mostly front delts, behind the head works mostly side and rear delts. i know anatomy. you can get hurt doing anything one time. how stupid can you be in one single comment? you can go too low one time and drop the weight and rip your shoulder apart. stupid people online are gonna get someone hurt with bad info.
zztoproadster 3 years ago 2
You fuckin moron. Do you even know where rear delt attaches and his actions? It is only involved in transverse extension so it's in no way affected with overhead presses. Rear delts work while doing pullups, for example, which are the exact opposite motion of overhead presses. Any logic, bitch? Bad form can get you hurt on any exercise, not just this one so cut the crap. Please, do not argue on the area you're not familiar with, I personally disected muscles on the corpses so stfu.
UrizenTheNegator 3 years ago
Okay, do me a favor, raise your hand in the air as you'd do when performing overhead press. Now touch your rear deltoid, if you even know how to find it. It feels soft, doesn't it?
UrizenTheNegator 3 years ago
Now hold that position and bend over and feel it again, it's hard, because it's involved in transverse extension.

Croatia is lucky to have you lol. BEHIND-THE-NECK, your rear delts play a big part.

Wow, you come here and talk shit with no arguments to back it up. You're a fuckin idiot unworthy of arguing with and a weak bitch no doubt about it.
