with margins of 200-500 pounds, which is unheard of during that time period and even today. Mark Gallagher said “When he shattered the 2400-pound barrier, the second best 220-pound powerlifting total was 2102. Coan, mathematically, was 14.5% better than the next best powerlifter in the world” ( Joe Skopec Powerlifting). Ed Coan is almost a superhuman to the sport. He will always be the greatest ever.

Discourse communities are everywhere. Everywhere we and go and almost everything we do relates or falls into a discourse community of some sort. Whether it’s a long, pointless conversation on the phone with a best friend or being part of a school croquet club, it’s part of a unique discourse community in some way.

I would participate in the Shot Put, Archery and Powerlifting (Bench Press). 1st day I competed in the Shot Put. There was a lot of confusion on where everyone would go to and participate in their event as it was the first day and a lot of us newbies. I finally found where I was supposed to be for Shot Put

“We always gotta protect the thing that allows us to do what we do. My “thing” or anchor, is 4 A.M. wake ups, destroying the iron, pushing myself past barriers.” (Johnson np). I've always been intrigued by what motivates a person. I love to hear what they have to say. For example, I asked Dylan Hutchins, my friend, and he said “I have to outdo Marshal in everything.” Whether that is true or not, it is something. People need something to keep themselves grounded; they need something that keeps them

After yesterday’s biceps and back workout, I am feeling sore. I have decided to do light cardio today and focus on triceps and shoulders tomorrow. With this rest day, I want to take a moment to talk about shoes when weight training. It is very important to select the proper shoes to help avoid injury and make the most of the lifting sessions.
