►Join Ed Coan and Dave Tate as they speak on the good old days of strength sports (bodybuilding, powerlifting, training) and what made those years so special to the athletes that were there! Thanks again to Eddy!
There will never be another Ed coan. Nobody could or can lift what this guy could lift under the same circumstances.
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
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.
There's always someone better. No exceptions
Records do fall but Coan had over 70 of them.
@@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
the smile on ed’s face talking about bar wobbble haha mans in LOVE with the sport that’s amazing
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.
Yeah, I remember that store. I competed there in the 91 APF Illinois State Open that Ernie had. It was my first big meet. I won the 242lb class. I remember the meeting was on the top floor. The weight rooms were on the second and third floors. He had an elevator too. Damn, I can't believe how long ago that was.
"Great guys. Dave is such a humble man. Ed Still impresses me by is good nature
Ed made an aunt Bunny falling down the stairs reference! Ed's the best.
Love the table talk.
Hah! A shout-out to Gary Benford :) I knew Gary and worked out at one of his World Gyms for years. A good man.
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
And he is so humble
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.
Its funny that he went from 98 lbs to benching 600+ in such a short time
He never had a 600 lb bench in competition. He is however, in my opinion, the greatest strength athlete who ever lived!
Inaba, Coan and Haack.
Lamar Gant?
Been to many a meet in Mountain Top, wilks-Berry area in 80s and 90s
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???
The rounds system wasn’t always how meets were ran. That was implemented in the mid to late 80’s.
@@eliteftsofficial ahh ok, thank you!
Ascending weights across all weight classes. If you were dominate your second would be more than everyone else’s third.
I love it; guys today wouldn't get it, nor would they make it.
algorithm comment
I remember the ADFPA, lifed in those sanctioned meets back in Pa, NY area
We would just pick a meet and go for the weekend regardless of the sanctioning body, just for fun!!
