He's coming off 936 x 2 in the squat (straps down), and 570 in the bench (first workout with a shirt), so it's no wonder that Ed Coan is cruising toward the Mountaineer Cup III with a lot of confidence.

Coan still has another week of heavy training, but at this point, the money is basically in the bank, and Coan seems to be more than ready for the challenge.  Powerlifting fans are hoping not just to see Coan deliver his usual superman performance, but are also expecting to get the added boost of seeing Ed Coan and Gary Frank lift in the same meet. Stay tuned.
