theDiamondMaker yeah I think you’re right that 901 lbs was smooth then it slowly declines. Im sure I read somewhere when he attempted that 920 he hurt his adductor pretty badly
Injuries built up, including a recurring groin one (and he would later end up needing a hip replacement, though I don't know when that actually happened). Also his career overlaps the time period where the IPF gradually transitioned from more or less untested to 'take what you like out of comp but you have to pass the test on the day' to something approaching proper drug testing. That will have an effect and his post-ban untested comeback is from long past his competitive prime.
4 times his own weight guys, 4 fucking times. I cant even comprehend. You have elite, you have supersayjin and you have ed coan. What in the actual fuck. GOAT of all times.
I agree as incredible a lifter he is. He is also one hell of a good guy. A few years ago I saw him at a meet. He was coaching a deadlifter. Some kids were playing video games. He was rooting for the kids as much as he was the lifting. Even paying for a few of their games. I was impressed
what does "31" look like? It's hard to say what genetics make someone look like vs. prematuring aging of steroids unless you are able to separate the two factors. Some people just look a little older, some younger..
