Firmly on track to rewrite the powerlifting record books, again, Ed Coan polished off his final deadlift workout before the Mountaineer Cup II with an 892-pound deadlift. If the number itself isn't impressive enough, consider that Coan said it was "real easy."

Ed Coan's bid for an unprecedented 2500-pound total was derailed last December when his opening squat was misloaded with an extra 40 kilos. On June 25th, Coan will take another shot at fulfilling what seems to be his destiny, at the Mountaineer Cup II Heavyweight Powerlifting Championship, which is being run in conjunction with the USPF Senior Nationals.
