rippletoe interview with Coan

He mentions 180kg press behind neck and 8x200kg bent over rows (no wraps)

 

[Sticky]

Yep, he will be crashing at my place for a couple of nights.

The awkward moment will be when I introduce him to my dog....... Named Coan lol

 

[spartacus]

is he lifting, or just seminars?

Is Odell lifting at nationals?

 

[Sticky]

Won't be lifting at this stage, just refereeing and doing seminars.

I'll be doing my best to get him on the platform.

I was on then phone to him yesterday.
He squatted 295kg for sets of 5 no wraps or belt.

Nice to hear that he is still going at it training hard
Reminds me of the story of John Grimek when he was 70 years old and squatted 700lb for a single and then 315lb for 20 reps because he didn't feel like training that day and squats were easy

 

[StrungOut]

He only over in Brisbane or doing a small tour?

 

[Sticky]

At this stage just Brisbane.
I'm trying to get him to at least PTC Sydney and PTC Perth.

 

[StrungOut]

But Adelaide has Oni and..........Elizabeth

 

[Sticky]

So why do you need Ed lol

 

[0ni]

Please don't send him to Elizabeth

I have no idea why the fuck we sent the royals there still. Probably to learn how to stash as many cars and car parts in your front yard as possible and learn aussie lingo "aye kunce youse guize have a farkin durry"

It was a show of support cause the car industry has gone. Almost like we know you are here we won't forget you type of thing.
