Hey Hey folks- welcome to the show that entertains and educates, welcome to the wolfs den, my name is Mark Ottobre and todays guest is,

The best there is, the best there was and the best there ever will be, todays guest is the greatest powerlifter of All Time.

Please put your hands together for Ed Coan!

So to give the folks at home just how strong you are, I want them to imagine putting TEN 20kilo plates on each side of the barbell- then imagine getting under it and squatting it…

But that’s still not enough to break your record is it?

Lets talk gifts, do you have any God ordained gifts? I heard once in an interview you had monstrous hands?

-Lets get a close up?

I’ve been discussing your level of achievement in the sport with a few folks, actually one you will be presenting with at the Strength Summit, Andrew Lock and he said; Ed combined the passion with being built for it – would you agree or add anything to that statement?

I thought that frame was a good place to spring board into this; and that is;

How much of success in the sport of powerlifting do you attribute to genetics, mechanics and levers Vs hard work, mindset and things like nutrition?

So for the guys and girls out there saying – I will never be world class at powerlifting, I just wasn’t built that way, what do you say?

Did you ever get into coaching others/ being someone’s personal coach for a meet?

And what I am really asking behind that is; I am fascinated by your system – I’ve heard you say, you set your numbers that you would have to hit 3 months or was it 12 months in advance?

How did you come up with those numbers?

What is the process to go, yep, I hit 300 kilos say on my deadlift, I want to hit 350, how do you process the reps and numbers and scale that to make it a plan, (what are the nuts and bolts)

Is it the same rules for a intimidate lifter going from say 240 to 260kgs?

Personally I love looking for universal truths that can be applied. I know almost a paradoxical universal truth is “find what works for you”. However, to a beginner or intermediate – find what works for you is too vague. Ed, what or are there universal truths that you have found if you want to get God like strong?

Say- how many days a week should I train?

Nutritional musts

Supplement musts

Anything?

How much of your success is man vs the program

Eg could you of done it with a tall mans levers, eg foot and longer arms?

In the foreword of your book: the man the myth the legend;

Scott Fitzgerald wrote:

It was a body capable of enormous leverage – a cruel body. –

Who was Scott Fitzgerald

I asked a wise man why do you think Ed is so great, and to paraphrase, he said, Eds the marriage of born for it, and love for it. Is that about right or would you add to it?

Was it your goal to be the greatest of all time in powerlifting?

When was your first insight in your life that you perhaps were born for this level of success and greatness?

I mean it’s quite the thing to be considered the GOAT, greatest of all time in anything. Powerlifting aside, if someone wanted to learn how to be great at something, lets say anything from dancing to business-

What are the personality traits, routines, goal setting processes that one should apply?

You’ve described yourself as a student of the game. A student of powerlifting. What is it about powerlifting that has kept your focus for 3-4 decades?

You were a competitor without peers. What pushed you?

Do you think you would have gotten more out of yourself if someone rivaled you in your weight class?

What was driving you – was there any hints in your childhood that you would be a power lifter or in fact great? Where you different as a kid?
