Coming down the homestretch for the Mountaineer Cup II, Ed Coan is primed for some really huge numbers. Last week, for example, Coan doubled 876 in the deadlift with no bounce on the second rep. Coan said he has "just one heavy session left on each lift," and he is ready to take care of business: "All I have to do is stay healthy and I can pretty much lift what I want."

What Coan wants is an unprecedented total in powerlifting, and he will go for it at the Mountaineer Cup II Heavyweight Championship, to be held in conjunction with the USPF Senior Nationals, June 24-25th.
