Edward Ignatius "Ed" Coan (born July 24, 1963) is an American powerlifter. He is widely regarded throughout the powerlifting world as the greatest powerlifter of all time.[1][2][3] Coan has set over 71 world records in powerlifting.[1]

In 2015, he was inducted into the International Sports Hall of Fame.[4]

Early career

Coan started out as a skinny kid being picked on at school, and decided to take up bodybuilding in his basement using old iso-kinetic cord machines. He eventually moved on to an Olympic weightlifting set owned by a friend, guided by the exercise instructions in Arnold Schwarzenegger's book: Education of a Bodybuilder.

He got the membership at the Chicago Health Club and after seeing Bill Kazmaier, started powerlifting with a friend and within six months, squatted 500 lb (227 kg).[5]

Powerlifting career

During 1991 Senior Nationals, he became the lightest person to cross the 2,400 lb (1,089 kg) barrier in the powerlifting total (a sum of three lifts: squat, bench, and deadlift). In 1998 World Championships, he set an all-time powerlifting record total at 2,463 lb (1,117 kg), in the 110 kg weight class.

Coan's best total in a drug tested international competition is 2,282 lb (1,035 kg) in the 100 kg weight class at the 1994 IPF Senior World Championships in South Africa,[6] establishing a new world record at the time. Although serving a lifetime ban from the IPF for doping, Coan is among the people still acknowledged and regarded a legend in the world of powerlifting and spends much of his time mentoring young lifters coming into the sport.[3]

Throughout his active career in international powerlifting competition Ed Coan has set over 71 world records in powerlifting.[9]

Drug ban

Coan has failed drug testing through the IPF three times. He was temporarily suspended in 1985 for the use of Deca-Durabolin, an anabolic steroid.[10]

In 1989, he was suspended due to a positive drug test.[10]

In 1996, at the IPF Men's Open World Championships in Salzburg, Austria, he tested positive again and was issued a lifetime ban from the IPF.[11] Because this positive drug test occurred in a competition in which he placed first, his name and results have been retroactively removed from the 1996 results. Coan is now suspended from IPF for life.[12]

In 2016, the IPF declared that due to Coan's suspension participating in his training seminars is a violation of WADA regulations and thus prohibited.[13]
