Ed Coan is an American powerlifter who is widely regarded as one of the greatest powerlifters of all time. His lifts are legendary and have allowed him to set over 71 world records in powerlifting across his career. That kind of talent and success doesn’t come without a big heavy dose of passion – which is why he was brought onto the podcast this week to discuss how passion intersects with diet and training to elevate an athlete into an elite champion. In Generation Iron and Barbend’s latest episode of The Mike O’Hearn Show, Ed Coan warns athletes to worry less about motivation and find true passion behind the iron.
