"Just open up your taint a little bit and relax." Proceeds to hold Mark's hand daintily. Hysterical.

[@jordans.8171]

Ed: "Did you ever grab a bar and just know you're gonna get it" Mark: "Yea it feels awesome" Ed: "Thats the best feeling in the world" Mark: "I've only done that with 135" Made me LOL so hard

[@PistolPeteLee]

What I love here is that Silent Mike is in a trance taking in everything, the dude wants to learn and did, and then hit that 675! Respect

[@gratata.enchilada]

Don't call him silent for nothing

[@oneillfitness]

705 yee

[@duckslayer11000]

I appreciated you guys including Mark struggling to get into position. He has never claimed to be mobile. But for us new lifters it highlighted the importance of staying semi limber.

[@KSizbored4life]

Also Mark has been training and competing for a LONG long time. He has had a slew of injuries (including his knee) that affects his mobility.

[@chrisbell8418]

This was an honor to work on. Ed Coan got Mark and I excited about Powerlifting. Now Ed is our friend. Crazy how that works.

[@andrewsardis23]

Please less Silent Mike and more Edd speaking

[@joshuadas8195]

I love ed coan. He has that old school straight shooter no bs attitude

[@user-kx6yp8cm7w]

Its offical, squats and deadlifts are the best core workout. I will forever reference this video when someone tries to get me to do sit ups

[@gottfriedosterbach3907]

I imagine Silent Mike as a magical creature that pops up anytime something inappropriate needs to be stated.

[@Jake.r606]

its not enough that ed's the greatest lifter ever, he might be the best coach out there

[@korpsarr]

And Duffin, just for all his stylish Kabuki-Knacks, his authoritarian presence and for sure all the whiskey drinkin'! ;)

[@RamblinAround]

These videos are great. The quickest way to learn is to watch, and hear from, the best.

[@supertraining06]

Hell yes

[@PEEERRRR]

no joke I've been doing deads for years and every time I listen to these old geezers I learn something in can use. It's great...it hope to see more straight forward technical advice like this!

[@gman2419]

Can you image now at meets people will be shouting open up your taint

[@Karanar]

supertraining06 Even though there are so many people one youtube that know what they are talking about, I have no way of quality controlling what they say. So for me, what helps the most is that when you have people that we know are authorities on the subject teach us, its so much easier to listen.

[@inlovewithkarate29]

agree!!

[@mustangx218]

Best powerlifting channel on the youtubez

[@supertraining06]

Nothing compares, I agree!

[@KDSRJonathan]

It's actually pretty cool to see Mark struggle and learn. Mind you when Ed Coan talks you shut the fuck up and do what the man says!!!! Thanks for the great vid.

[@MrChipsXT]

Hi. (Sorry for the bad English)

[@3457james]

too bad for the rider trying to evade

[@robertanastase558]

Same

[@biesman5]

hi

[@koreaface]

Yes

[@edsidoruk6666]

Let's talk about bent rows with fucking 405lb for a second.

[@imsmenoo]

No shit. Dude was beyond strong.

[@aja23136]

Watch Pete rubish

[@boxxer221]

Ed Sidoruk Or 465 for 30 sconds with one hand

[@ryanagar1114]

Ed Sidoruk How about fat fucking lenny

[@dessertstorm7476]

+kingDeCosta123 Yates did "Yates rows", a very upright row with a lot of body english. Coan was doing Pendlay rows, a variation with a much greater lean and full range of motion. The latter is way more difficult

[@dlucasgalt]

This is so cool, seeing Mark, a guy we know is strong AF, learning a technique that he looks very uncomfortable with, but being genuinely open about his feeling powerless, that's witnessing real strength and humility. Seeing greatness, in the hands of a legend. Remains me of the old adage, iron strengthens iron. Very cool, thank you gentlemen for what you do.

[@DimaShinder]

This is why I like listening to the champions, they'll always give you something that you've never heard before, even on topics that have been done to death.

[@blaster018]

Awesome! The passion that Ed has for lifting really shows when he speaks.

[@rudyiseeyoubaby3667]

The couch has spoken

[@AlphaLivingChannel]

Thats the only way I do deadlifts, Conventional deads put to much strain on my back. Since I bulged my disc in the lower back, I switched to Sumo Deads and Front squat and boon, no problems! Thanks for the video Mark.

[@griffincosgrove8927]

The ed coan videos are great keep em coming

[@supertraining06]

How to conventional is next!

[@griffincosgrove8927]

supertraining06 Im already excited for the GOAT to drop some knowledge on me

[@AdamEvans416]

supertraining06 awesome, great work on the content

[@Rundas242]

supertraining06 The ANT?!

[@joshwright9075]

Seriously best channel out there. So many great lifters like Coan and Spoto on here, learning a lot without even being there.

[@supertraining06]

We are working hard on bringing shit to another level.

[@MA-ii3gm]

supertraining06 Hulse and Canditooo

[@BJandRoach]

I think this kind of proves, especially in a very technique driven movement like the sumo dead, that you have to find what is going to work best for you depending on your individual body. People like to think that there is only one "good form" way to do movements, and a billion "bad form" ways. Of course you have certain things that you NEED to do in order to not hurt yourself, but what works for Ed might not work for Mark, and what works for Mark might not work for Jackie Chan.

[@CykaBlyatttttT]

Agreed

[@x5xbryan]

Health4Thought I'm pretty sure everything works for Jackie Chan though...

[@supertraining06]

Did you say Jacked And Tan?

[@bentekkers11]

With a joke like that^...has to be Silent Mike.

[@BliebandRHYNO]

Why Can't I Think Of A Name? shit you got me

[@TheHaiku2]

3:00 That's how I approach the toilet. I go slow and in steps, so I don't startle the toilet.

[@Zak-gn8hf]

ahah you killed me

[@tks3782]

How does this comment not have more likes? I pissed myself laughing!

[@nikolai6817]

best comment

[@JBFit69]

😂

[@Pontus95]

Ed is like the nicest guy, and with crazy much knowledge! Just another amazing Supertraining video!

[@Freshprankstv1]

You can tell how excited ed coan gets teaching this

[@gjmjblevins]

This is a great video, I feel like the sumo is not covered very much and I have always wanted to hear how to do it from Ed. Thanks! Blessings

[@yesukheich6134]

thanks for this series Mark! You are appreciated!

[@1970kiraclarke]

Really enjoying the Ed Coan videos! Thanks!

[@Sadjina]

Awesome, thanks for all the great content you guys are putting out for free!

[@joeythomassin7664]

Keep going man we love you! Keep bringning old time powerlifters

[@basuitnijmegen]

Awesome! Was waiting for a proper breakdown of the sumo deadlift and you guys delivered. Thanks guys and keep it up.

[@MiloDuplex]

These videos are pure gold. Keep 'em going please...

[@IyaLovesLife]

I am definitely taking notes for my next DL training! Thank you so much team supertraining! Ed, Mark and Mike are the best!

[@Mr_SamuelAdam]

The beat in the beginning of the videos always gets me pumped!

[@jgamez5023]

Ed is such an inspiration, appreciate all of these...

[@McMeatBag]

I think it's awesome that you're able to keep an open mind and willing to try something you've done thousands of times a little differently

[@Nonya_Business44]

Great video. One of the best I've ever watched.

[@Swoletron1]

Guess I need to start playing around with my foot placement. Thanks for another awesome video Ed, Mark, and Silent Mike!

[@cingred13]

I feel as if all these vids with ed coan are just a goldmine. Thank you ST for the awesome content. Keep it up.

[@tomhannaford3511]

I'm watching this for the second time as it's such an informative video and entertaining too. Awesome channel in general.

[@Hiso3]

The way this channel is heading is amazing. I used to watch your session back in the old ST Gym but barely any commentary was given. You felt like, to me, some strong guy that out of reach and that I could just be impressed by. Now that you are taking lot of strong people to share their own style/technique, this is so great and we can learn a lot ! Thanks Mark, Mike and Jim. Keep it up !

[@mrhawk403]

Great video. Just answered all my questions about sumo. Can't recommended your videos enough! Thank you!

[@Th3unknownuser111]

Just got home from the gym! Damn it! Looks like I have something to work on tomorrow. Thanks for the best content on KZbin.

[@seamusgraveworm3184]

Mark, you're a beast. I'm not even close to your level, being kind of a novice with lifting. Seeing you struggle a little bit in this video actually was very inspiring for me, and the fact that you have the humility to show yourself being challenged in this way says a lot about you. Thanks for all the amazing content.

[@Mario95133]

Superb video. Thanks so much for getting us this footage

[@geniusaza]

Its nice to see Mark hanging out with his hero. You really see the respect he has for him.

[@danaephia3582]

Dear Supertraining06. Thank you for the ed Coan Series. Probably the best videos about powerlifting and technique on the net.

[@obara824]

supertraining06 Learned so much in under 20 minutes. Thanks Smelly, Silent Mike & of course, the great Ed Coan.

[@KristofferLie]

Really enjoyed these videos with Ed Coan!

[@chuy8356]

Learned so much from Ed on this video. Nothing like experience and wisdom from so many years of powerlifting.

[@cwspellman]

Excellent video! I love how plainly Ed Coan speaks and how he gets right to the heart of things.

[@shovonski612]

Ed Coan you are a bloody legend. Greatest respect to a man like him. So much knowledge and theyre lucky to have him. Thank you......

[@BadBandar59]

Great vid! I gotta give it to Mark and Mike. You guys are providing some great information. Blows the rest of these youtube channels out of the water. Thank you. I can listen to Ed all day.

[@carpefuego]

Pure gold. Feel very fortunate to have found these videos. Excellent instructor. Wealth of info. Great questions and format. Thank you.

[@shannandoughty]

Great content as always lads! Thank you

[@iBulkFitness]

Thank you very much for uploading this video.!!!! Very informational and answered a lot of questions that i had :)

[@hansjoosten6993]

i train for 32 years now.and ed coan teaches me the finer details.. love these videos.. also heads up to you mark bell.. greetings from nijmegen the netherlands

[@clintnardoni]

Man even the intro music got me pumped to train. Keep crushing it with these videos.

[@chesternguyen6600]

Another great video with great content! Thanks guys!

[@lep4372]

Great stuff. I tried the breathing cues for my squats yesterday and it made a difference. Can't go wrong with the GOAT!

[@coreyworthingtonii9230]

Love that this content is freely available online! Very blessed to have access to this and a nice gym to go to 🙂🙂🙂

[@Kongorofl]

Awesome video! So helpful! Keep on the good work.

[@qewr4231]

Ed Coan seems like a great coach. He makes everything easy to understand. And he demonstrates well. Ed Coan is great.

[@gregprince878]

This is priceless technical training and tips with the best of the best. Thank you Mark Bell, Silent Mike, and most of all Ed Coan.

[@timmy32989]

This is the best informational video to teach someone how to sumo hands down. So many people try and pull the same way as they do when they do conventional but they are not the same.

[@wolverine6562lex]

Ed Coan the Best Mentor i ever seen. He can explain & coached very well. Good job again St channel!!!

[@tommycolemanpersonaltraini3778]

Another amazing video tutorial! Thank you so much.

[@shadowscar]

dayum, the content as of late has been the best on youtube. gonna grab some shirts from your brand to show support. keep it coming, Mark and Mike!

[@grapograc]

The experience of this man.. What a treasure.

[@ethanmillet7307]

I loved this, very informative from the man himself. I know I can do more in my dead lifts if my form was a bit better. Will definitely take this advice and utilize it in my next workout and hopefully hit 400. My knee pain is what holds me back, so hopefully this will help.

[@bubbub08]

Just wanted to say thanks for this video. I used this technique today for the first time and I have never lifted sumo so well before. I always struggled to open up my hips and get into the position/setup. But by doing this i found it so much easier. So thank you so much! These videos really do help people at all levels with their lifting.

[@ahmedahaggag]

I've been really trying to get into sumo as an accessory and this video will definitely help.

[@johnrobinson1762]

Very informative. Coan should do a video on how to sumo, snatch grip, deficit deadlift with a rest pause.

[@Aaronmiles148]

This might be one of the best videos you guys have done! Thank you 1000 times over!

[@DefineStrength]

another awesome one Mark! Ed's the man when it comes to powerlifting!! STAY HEALTHY STRONG AND FIT

[@jmyers112]

No channel comes close to what SuperTraining has become Mark. Getting the viewpoints of so many experts is absolutely invaluable. Thank you for the all the great content.

[@paolopettineo1353]

I do not think lifting videos can get much more better than this ❤

[@FitMessDiary]

I am really impressed, and happy that I found your channel and all of these videos! :D There is so much videos of this type, but I trust this one the most. Al the facts, no bull*hit :D Love that!

[@mikeweiss1198]

Just came on to this channel...I'm very impressed, keep up the good work supertraining

[@scottsmyre4957]

Hell yeah! The content you're releasing is amazing. Keep up the great work!

[@supertraining06]

Thank you

[@jjgcfc81]

Brilliant video , keep em comin'

[@basementgainz843]

I'm getting now into sumo deadlift. I got bored with conventional. I see know that my problem is mobility. My hips shoot first to quick and then it's all back. I will work on mobility way more. Thanks guys. Video like that helped a lot. Plus i like how both of guys paying attention and listening to. They not playing like they know everything. Sub and like

[@JAK3THETUB3]

I get into the stance holding a kettlebell, drop down and hold it. It's helped a lot with mobility.

[@AbeVonDoom]

These are just great, Hope to see a similar video with conventional and bench. Freakin' sweet Mark

[@Rdub666]

This was an awesome video all my questions i had about sumo have been answered

[@wodroi]

wow, very impressive n instructional, I have learnt a lot here, He is widely regarded throughout the powerlifting world as the greatest powerlifter of all time.

[@Levirules]

loving these vids, great to see tips from ed too. I needed some good pointers for sumo, it's been bothering my hips a bit. Think I'm going to try his method of training mostly conventional and hitting weak points with accessories, only really using sumo for peaking.

[@Nemesis093781]

Thank you for the great great video, thumbs up.

[@tcat92]

Ed Coan series very helpful.

[@AlexPlamadeala1]

EPIC

[@FITsthetics]

im glad to see some struggle, it shouldn't feel comfortable. it was nice to see the real feels of this video. iam not proficient in sumo what so ever

[@marriottperformance]
