Ed Coan | Deadlift and back work out in 1995

[@Jmon808]

Backs a little injured, I’m just gonna deadlift up to 750, do some bent over rows, and rep out a few sets of pull-ups 😂

[@willh3972]

20 years later he was at mark bells gym pulling 600 like a sack of groceries

[@dreturner671]

And so injured can't even brace fully...

Those are 2 different sessions edited together. He must have stopped at around 300 in the first video.

[@ryanrogers8211]

1 set of pull-ups

This Gym is from 1995--that's 25-years-old--and it's more well equipped that today's Gyms!

Also miss that vertical leg press machine behind him.

Every rep should be the same for practice, it's like honing a skill. Also it helps with a warmup when you get heavier your form is in the groove

the fucking absolute density of the man. yes the size but the density of muscle is off the chart.

At 1:20 in, does he say ‘Gotta warm up the back up every way I can right now when it’s hurt’? And he still pulls this much weight. What a beast. The 🐐 🙏🏾

Thanks for posting all the old videos. Had a weekend seminar with Coan a few years ago (along with Efferding and Poliquin) and I've never met anyone better at explaining training and technique than him. Btw his name is spelt wrong in the title, don't know if that hinders people from seeing the video when searching his name :)

I saw him compete in 1996 at the USPF worlds in Philly, dude was a world class power lifter.

[@BartyCrease]

They're barbell rows, you should to chest supported rows instead of these if they make you pass out bud

[@ResistanceQuest]

Breathing during rows can be tricky. You need to sneak a new breath in between reps and keep your core and lower back tight during the pull. Passing out is usually caused by not enough oxygen to the brain . Hope this helps

[@Browndogdiesel]

They’re barbell rows. Try a pendalay row if you struggle with them.

I guess you missed the videos of him well over 50 still lifting massive weight like it's nothing. Oh well, why let facts get in the way of a moronic statement?

[@totallyraw1313]

No wonder his back was bothering him with all those fucking reverse hypers! lol

[@Chris88895]

Reverse hypers actually make your lower back feel a lot better, when the weight comes down it decompresses the discs while pumping blood into the low back. That's why he (and many others including yours truly) warm up with them prior to squatting or deadlifting.

[@totallyraw1313]

@@Chris88895 I don't see a problem using light weight on the reverse hyper, but when the weight gets heavy, it can over stretch the ligaments in the lumbar spine. Ask Mark Ripetoe about the reverse hyper. He got rid of all his reverse hypers years ago because too many people were complaining that it gave them lower back pain! Additionally, the reverse hyper is a very poor glute and hamstring exercise the way it's normally performed.

[@Chris88895]

@@totallyraw1313 I don't think it's the exercise itself or even the intensity, people have some really atrocious form with it. Most people just swing the weight up, they "hyper extend" at the top of the movement (which is a big no no for the low back) and then it screws them up. Doing it properly and not swinging ensures that the weight is reasonable and it makes hyper extending nearly impossible. Also, contracting the abs/glutes at the top always makes me feel it big time throughout my glutes/hamstrings.

[@totallyraw1313]

@@Chris88895 Agree. I actually do the exercise using single leg at a time with heavy ankle weights and pause at the top for 2 sec. This is a better way to do it imo.
