the smile on ed’s face talking about bar wobbble haha mans in LOVE with the sport that’s amazing

[@williamlawlor7445]

There will never be another Ed coan. Nobody could or can lift what this guy could lift under the same circumstances.

[@ShayanGivehchian]

He's for sure one of the greatest Of all time but he will definitely be over taken by someone. Records are made to be broken and they will be

[@DynomyteDewd91]

John Haack just overtook Coan’s 198 total record and he did it raw.
Coan did it in single ply.
Coan is one of the greats no question, but a good number of his records have fallen and will likely continue to.

[@littlethuggie]

There's always someone better. No exceptions

[@williamlawlor7445]

Records do fall but Coan had over 70 of them.

[@littlethuggie]

@@williamlawlor7445 that's great. He was also in a time where gear was invented and numbers took off...... there were only records to be had

[@christianbolt5761]

I joined Ernie Frantz’s gym back in 1991. It was a small but great.
There was a store downstairs where I bought my belt that I still have.
It really saddened me when I heard about the fire.

[@Daveshotpocket]

Ed made an aunt Bunny falling down the stairs reference! Ed's the best.

[@brunogingras798]

"Great guys. Dave is such a humble man. Ed Still impresses me by is good nature

[@Torontokid]

Love the table talk.

[@brianhickey5949]

Hah! A shout-out to Gary Benford :) I knew Gary and worked out at one of his World Gyms for years. A good man.

[@MrBull5667]

Remember who started you and brought you to the top?! Who you represented in Hawaii. Frantz power team. Ernie Frantz will always be the original goat! I was trained by him when I was 13 and I still represent Frantz power team at 55.

[@BagelMachine]

Its funny that he went from 98 lbs to benching 600+ in such a short time

[@wolfganghasenmaier8350]

He totaled more than any SHW (!) ever until then in ca. 1998...at 240 lbs! Only in later years that got topped. Noone under comparable circumstances is even close

[@wolfganghasenmaier8350]

And he is so humble

[@BuJammy]

Inaba, Coan and Haack.

[@howardmenkes2926]

Lamar Gant?

[@frankmccracken1160]

Been to many a meet in Mountain Top, wilks-Berry area in 80s and 90s

[@SOC-ir6im]

Ok I’m having bad brain fog I think. I don’t understand how you’re following yourself even if you’re the lowest or biggest squatter? Once you go you still have the whole flight going before you go again for attempt 2 and so forth....what am I missing here that they’re eluding to???

[@eliteftsofficial]

The rounds system wasn’t always how meets were ran. That was implemented in the mid to late 80’s.

[@SOC-ir6im]

@@eliteftsofficial ahh ok, thank you!

[@littlemoo52]

Ascending weights across all weight classes. If you were dominate your second would be more than everyone else’s third.

[@comically_large_chungus]

algorithm comment

[@jvoronin]

I love it; guys today wouldn't get it, nor would they make it.

[@frankmccracken1160]

I remember the ADFPA, lifed in those sanctioned meets back in Pa, NY area

[@frankmccracken1160]

We would just pick a meet and go for the weekend regardless of the sanctioning body, just for fun!!
