Ed Coan (5 day)
« on: May 28, 2023, 04:07:41 PM »
'da GOAT:

Ed liked to train for both power, and hypertrophy...

Throughout his active career in international powerlifting competition Ed Coan has set over 71 world records in powerlifting.
He became the lightest person to cross the 2,400 lb. barrier in the powerlifting total
(a sum of three lifts: the deadlift, bench, and squat). He set an all-time powerlifting record total at 2,463 pounds, even though
at the time he was not in the heaviest weight class.


Coan's best result in a drug tested international competition is 1,035 kg (2,282 lbs) in the 100 kg weight class at the 1994 IPF
Senior World Championships, establishing a new world record at the time.

A koan about Coan.

koan: [noun] a paradox to be meditated upon that is used to train Zen Buddhist monks to abandon ultimate dependence on reason and to force them into gaining sudden intuitive enlightenment.

I doubt if Coan is a Zen Buddhist.
