Max SchererHOST
Yeah.
Sam SchererGUEST
Right? 'Cause it's like I heard, uh, I think his name is Marty, uh, Marty Gallagher? The guy who co-authored Ed Coan's book with him, did like a bunch of interviews with Ed Coan.
Max SchererHOST
Yeah.
Sam SchererGUEST
He's like, Ed Coan's the greatest, like, one of the greatest athletes ever because of numerically how far he was ahead of the second-best guy.
Max SchererHOST
Mm.
Sam SchererGUEST
Right? But it's like you have to factor in...
Sam SchererGUEST
But it's like imagine [laughs] if he, uh, actually became technically proficient at some of these things, like American deadlift record holder.
Sam SchererGUEST
Um, at the time I think he was the world deadlift record holder.
Sam SchererGUEST
'Cause even the best-
Max SchererHOST
Yeah, there's an old Ed Coan quote about, "I just don't wanna go through that much pain anymore." Like, I think-
Sam SchererGUEST
Yeah.
Sam SchererGUEST
And it's like Ed Coan's like f-
Max SchererHOST
And I know I'm gonna feel 30 when I'm-
Sam SchererGUEST
...
Sam SchererGUEST
Ed Coan's die hard because he was, he wasn't pushing to beat people.
Max SchererHOST
Yeah.
Max SchilerHOST
Yeah, it's very funny the idea that, like, it was truly just like, I don't know, 15-year-old you saw, like, I do a set of 10 on the 10th week, I do a set of nine on the ninth week.
Sam SchilerHOST
No, in fact [laughs] what I saw, the Ed Coan one was way slicker than that, but I was like, "What if I just do this?"
Max SchilerHOST
Yeah.
Max SchilerHOST
You came up with this idea that like I do 10, and then when it wraps back around, I'm gonna beat my 10 RM.
Sam SchilerHOST
Um, yeah, no, and it's, I really like that.
Sam SchilerHOST
Uh, and you can see the remnant.
Sam SchilerHOST
But that's because initially I watched, like, an Ed Coan video and I was like, "Ah, that's what you do when you can't get better every week, is I need to be better every fifth week than I was last fifth week."
Max SchilerHOST
Yeah.
Max SchererHOST
Yeah, we had the, the-

Ed Coan
Max SchererHOST
...
Max SchererHOST
the Ed Coan rule.
Max SchererHOST
Um, and then like, I don't know.
Max SchererHOST
I, I, I think, uh, uh, super archers only affect small weight classes.
Sam SchererGUEST
I heard Tom Stoltman say he likes to not think about the gym when he's outside the gym, and I think that's the-
Max SchererHOST
Ed Coan also said that kind of stuff
Sam SchererGUEST
...
Sam SchererGUEST
I think that's the kind of thing that only Tom Stoltman and Ed Coan can get away with, 'cause most of the good athletes I coach-
Max SchererHOST
Uh-huh
Sam SchererGUEST
... are the ones who are like, "I've got fives.
Max SchererHOST
... that I didn't know him.
Sam SchererGUEST
People forget how jacked Ed Coan was.
Max SchererHOST
Yep.
Sam SchererGUEST
Um, the OG singlets were cool.
Max SchererHOST
Mm.
Sam SchererGUEST
Considering that is, like, kinda your pseudo, or the, the old Ed Coan, that's your pseudo armor.
Max SchererHOST
Yeah.
Sam SchererGUEST
Right? What's our next question? I've been yapping for way too long.
Sam SchererGUEST
Uh, sneaky exercise.
Sam SchererGUEST
This Ed Coan side rack hold.
Max SchererHOST
Oh, yes.
Max SchererHOST
It's gripping-
Sam SchererGUEST
You know what I mean? It's like, but if you can sustainably like, "Here's what I need to do on my assistance," and just live in that plus five zone.
Sam SchererGUEST
There's a reason that like Jon Hack on the EliteFTS podcast, Ed Coan, every interview, he's like, "Yeah, as long as I get two and a half kilos every meet, I'm happy."
Max SchererHOST
Yeah.
Sam SchererGUEST
"Anything more is a bonus.
Sam SchererGUEST
How far the AAU is falling.
Sam SchererGUEST
'Cause if you look back, some of the g- like, historic performances, like Ed Coan did, like, an AAU m-
Max SchererHOST
Yeah
Sam SchererGUEST
... like, the AAU meets.
