Evidence: Edward "Ed" Ignatius Coan (born July 24, 1963) is an American powerlifter. He set an all-time powerlifting record total at 2,463 pounds, even though at the time he was not in the heaviest weight class. He became the lightest person to cross the 2,400 lb. barrier in the powerlifting total (a sum of three lifts: the deadlift, bench, and squat). Coan's best result in a drug tested international competition is 1,035 kg (2,282 lbs) in the 100 kg weight class at the 1994 IPF Senior World Championships.
