tabbouleh and fattoush salads were very refreshing Member 267, 8548 posts SQ 220, BP 165, DL 250635.0 kgs @ 90kgs Eq | kyle said:Why do powerlifters insist that Ed Coan is the greatest of all time and possibly the strongest human ever? I mean look, Inaba (little Japanese guy) has won the IPF world title more times than anyone else. Malanchiev, Stan Efferding, Don Reinhoudt etc have all totaled RAW almost as much as Ed's EQUIPPED total. There are also guys who have out-totaled his single ply total (Brian Siders etc). Finally in terms of wilks, there are a bunch of East European midgets who out-do him... So remind me why is Ed Coan the greatest powerlifter of all time? Ed who? Tom Martin unofficially beat his deadlift record in Oxfordshire a few years ago and walked off the platform like nothing had happened. | ||

 some nice relaxing jazz. Member 77, 12599 posts SQ 265, BP 165, DL 280710.0 kgs @ 93kgs UnEq | kyle said: Malanchiev, Don Reinhout, Stan Efferding They are all in 1 to 2 weight classes heavier than him. Add to that the equipment Coan used in his prime is no way close to single ply now days. I can see why some call him the greatest. I think his 900lbs deadlift @100kg is one of greatest deadlifts of all time. I'd put money on him beating Dan Green raw best vs best. However Green may well surpass him. If you like Innaba (spelling? lol) cool. I may well agree with you. However it's not crazy to say Coan was at least one of the greatest. Plus if people (not sure which?) want to say he was the greatest then fine. Its not an insane thing to say. He was a 'drug cheat', but then it looked like all the top guys were at the time? | ||

Member 2202, 346 posts SQ 282.5, BP 220, DL 320.5823.0 kgs @ 120kgs UnEq | I guess Coan would have been able to total 1000kgs+ at 110kg bw without wraps, walked out squats, with a 2-hour weigh-in and a regular bar for deadlifts. Pretty crazy, no matter how much drugs he used. | ||

 Tom's CNS is better than steroids Member 2886, 2973 posts SQ 190, BP 122.5, DL 210522.5 kgs @ 90kgs UnEq | dr_hazbun said: Ed who?

IPF judging.consider these lifts- Squat- 436kg@ 97kg 418kg@ 97kg 462kg@ 107kg Deadlift- 409kg@ 100kg- RAW 403kg@ 110kg Bench Press- 265kg@ 110kg Here is a link to an article explaining how good ed coan was http://www.joeskopec.com/eddy.html obviously the article is dated but makes good points nonetheless. | ||
