  • Ed Coan is considered the world's greatest powerlifter of all time. In this video we will see him pull 750 lbs / 340 kg in a conventional and faint! After after the deadlift hes gonna do some lower and upper back traningen.
    In the 80s and 90s as well as the 00s he won all but one of competitions he entered. In 1991 at the USA nationals he deadiftet 901 lbs / 409 kg RAW with a stifbar and a 2 h weigh in. Today almost 30 years later no one has beaten that. Ed was also tested positive for three times in the IPF. All those were at world championships. The first time was in 1985, in the USA and his home town. Second time was in 1989 in Canada. And the last time before he was bnd from the IPF was 1996 in Austria.
    This is footage from Video power magazine.

      Breathing during rows can be tricky. You need to sneak a new breath in between reps and keep your core and lower back tight during the pull. Passing out is usually caused by not enough oxygen to the brain . Hope this helps

      Reverse hypers actually make your lower back feel a lot better, when the weight comes down it decompresses the discs while pumping blood into the low back. That's why he (and many others including yours truly) warm up with them prior to squatting or deadlifting.

    • @totallyraw1313
      @totallyraw1313 Před 2 lety

      @@Chris88895 I don't see a problem using light weight on the reverse hyper, but when the weight gets heavy, it can over stretch the ligaments in the lumbar spine. Ask Mark Ripetoe about the reverse hyper. He got rid of all his reverse hypers years ago because too many people were complaining that it gave them lower back pain!
      Additionally, the reverse hyper is a very poor glute and hamstring exercise the way it's normally performed.

      @Chris88895 Před 2 lety +2

      @@totallyraw1313 I don't think it's the exercise itself or even the intensity, people have some really atrocious form with it. Most people just swing the weight up, they "hyper extend" at the top of the movement (which is a big no no for the low back) and then it screws them up. Doing it properly and not swinging ensures that the weight is reasonable and it makes hyper extending nearly impossible. Also, contracting the abs/glutes at the top always makes me feel it big time throughout my glutes/hamstrings.
