was that in shorts or briefs? i thought it said a work set on there... all i saw was a warmup set of 5! What is he gettin ready for? This is 10% Luck, 20% Skill, 15% Concentrated Power of Will... 5% Pleasure, 50% Pain, and 100% Reason to Remember the Name!

The thing that stands out to me is every squat looks exactly the same. It's like he's part machine. It's very impressive.

The guy's strength is just retarded! The guy put up his best raw bench numbers AFTER tearing his pec (and not having it fixed), that is just not right.

I believe he may be lifting in Nick Busick's World Series of PL in Vegas on March 24 and also lifting in the USPF Senior Nationals in Vegas on Aug 11-12 but not sure. Maybe Nick Winters would know more.

Pretty sure he is not lifting in the WSOP, but he will (as will I) be lifting at USPF Senior Nationals.

[quote=Nick Winters]I think it was his nose that was bleeding, he just spit it out[/quote] mabe he could squirt it out his eyes if the judges gave him a red light! LOL

To be honest, they look right at parallel. I wouldn't call those "convincingly deep". Just "convincingly strong".

Yes, I am joking.....it was a parody. For crying out loud, Jared, now we are going to judge the man's depth?!? Sorry I said anything. Moderator, please delete my posts. Thank you.

Thank you.[/quote] I was responding to randall's post...he made it seem like heresy to question Coan's depth at all. People get so caught up in their bias with some of these things. An APF guy doing the same squats would have been a mile high by the internet judges.
