NPL; 2000 Mountaineer Cup II - Deadlift

[@SeanBryantHayes]

Can you imagine showing up to a meet, feeling pretty good about yourself... then seeing that Ed Coan is competing.

[@garyroberts3020]

Yeah that's when you say.. Well at least second place is up for grabs...

[@Lickmabumbum]

If that's your mindset, quit powerlifting

[@BuJammy]

Ahahahahahaha. Dolt@@Lickmabumbum

[@NoGoodJim]

Powerlifting should be a televised event, especially now that it's growing exponentially.

[@troyvincent8933]

but it isn't as entertaining as other sports

[@jimjones6901]

@@troyvincent8933 that's a matter of opinion, I'm sure that people only find football so entertaining not because of what you are actually watching, but because of the fanbase behind it. Same thing with powerlifting except it has a smaller fanbase because it isn't as old

[@brucemackenzie4952]

He weighed 240, GOAT and the nicest most humble guy you would ever meet.

[@navysealzero4]

@chumbulezco i agree but it comes down to exposure and the natural of the sport. most ppl dont understand the work ethic these guys have and how long it takes for them do get to this level. I mean kids get out of college at 20, 21 and they have multimillion dollar deals waiting for them its sad but thats just the way things are.

[@Jakarta123]

this guy is one in a billion

[@warjostrongman]

Hes definitly one of them. However I do believe that a few of the lighter world class competitors (such as Lamar Grant and Tony Conyers) have totaled between 14 and 16 times their bodyweight. Grant was incredible, he could pull 700 at about 132lb.

[@rehwwe]

ed coan is a legend

[@tastefulphrasing]

@bruce9241 It totally look like he locked out, it just didn't look like he held it long enough. But if you look at the ref, he throws his hand down before he lets the bar down.

[@hahahahahahahahahahahahaha642]

AMAZING

[@warjostrongman]

For someone who devoted his life to bodybuilding, Ronnie is an amazing powerlifter. If he had devoted his career to powerlifting from the get go I think he would have gone down as one of the greatest. And yes I do think Magnus is stronger than Ed Coan. I remember the first time I saw the vid of the young Magnus breaking Megamans arm I was like "oh fuck!!!"

[@johnsambo9379]

Magnus didnt compete in powerlifting so you are talking out your butt.

[@warjostrongman]

@@johnsambo9379 a) I made that comment 15 years ago. 15. Years. Ago. b) never said he did, Magnus is a former worlds strongest man, and while he could never match Coan on the powerlifts ( besides the bench) I believe due to his size and versatility at his peak he had more overall strength (obviously not lb for lb). Though it’s arguable for sure. Probably depends on the discipline

[@HalifaxHercules]

Didn't Nick Busick used to wrestle in the WWF/WWE and "Big Bully Busick"?

[@warjostrongman]

I believe its 5 times, which is still insane. Even if it was 10 times that would not be the same as a 900lb deadlift. Ronnie also outweighs Ed Coan by about 100lb. I have tremendous respect for Ronnie's achievements and am not sure why he has an internet fan-base of male groupies who are all over his nuts and go all to tears at the thought of a professional powerlifter being able to outlift their "boyfriend" Ronnie. He, himself would say that he is not as strong as Ed Coan.

[@warjostrongman]

You did see ed coen deadlifting 865 right? He would later go on to deadlift an insane 900lb at 220 bodyweight a record that I believe stands to this day.

[@souravgarg2873]

Fast forward to 2019: The record for 220 now stands at 953lbs.

[@warjostrongman]

Its definitly a tough choice. Pound for pound, no one beats Ed Coan. He could also out squat and deadlift Magnus, but Magnus has longer levers. His long arm and legs, however, are to his advantage in most stong man events. Each ones build is suited well to their chosen disapline so its tough to compare them raw strength wise. I think Magnus' sheer size would give him a slight edge but its debatable for sure. Coan was definatly more domanant (make that unbeatable) in his sport though.

[@ferna2294]

That´s right my man. Your comment is 11 years old, but I just wanted to know if you are still here.

[@crfranchises1]

only 10k? If you divide that by the hours of training it comes out to about $.50 an hour. Thats not counting the back and gut pains. You can find these guys in the gym at odd hours with full sweet suits on. back in a dark corner and not carring if anyone watches. Good shit!

[@Grumpy434]

Amen sir

[@SmexyPC]

@tastefulphrasing ed coan weighed 238-242 it fluctuated

[@tastefulphrasing]

Hey, can anyone tell me how much he weighed here? Or am I missing something?

[@loneshinystar]

Who's Victor Naylekin (he took 2nd place)?

[@djlucy1]

very few look like they are locking out. I don't get it.

[@navysealzero4]

@bruce9241 he didnt but i guess they let it go anyways go figure

[@TheKingClem]

man scott was so young

[@Dr.WhetFarts]

is this 8k

[@spenndoolie]

heavyweigts just getting over 700? wtf

[@ferna2294]

This sport has evolved. Diets have evolved, drugs have evolved. Records are being broken once or twice a year. I really love this sport.

[@trblesum6969]

The cone!!!

[@AZWild]

naleykin is the best)

[@URAGR8M8]

Best deadlift in 132lb class is 683.4lbs.

[@helioseismology]

Why does Coan have duct tape on his chest?

[@yamanmustafa]

@bruce9241 American meet, American judges.....

[@SmexyPC]

2400

[@supernova7819]

he's still the best to this day!

[@andyslagle1403]

Sorry Peta, PED's will never go away.. as well as Coan is a freak! How many people are runnin gear? and how many are world class athletes? People want to see the freak show

[@Euadam]

Victor Naylekin is HOT.

[@beewalk34]

Most of those pulls wouldn't count in usapl

[@direCza]

hate how espn dumbs down everything

[@WanderleiSilva29]

Im actually a little stronger than Coan.... I just never competed nationally.... but I own the east coast. EVERYBODY knows Wally Flangers.

[@oldmateize]

Sure thing buddy

[@ferna2294]

405 Brigade homie!

[@kalclash]

You're mistaken. Magnus Samuelson won once because the rest of the competition that year was poor. He has always had a weak back. He is terrible at deadlift and will be the 1st to admit it. Do you homework son.

[@lordraven1980]

no people act like ed was a cheater AND an amazing powerlifter. (you can be both) many powerlifters take drugs, in some federations they dont give a shit and thats cool. but ed also competed in drug tested competitions vs athletes i know were natural. thus he cheated. just like many others have.

[@brucedickinson12]

Buy some gear with 10 grand
