You mean if he had enough sense to NOT make some serious money and make a decent living with his talents?

…Okay MaloneTD, you got me with that one. You have better logic than me.[/quote]

I don’t know if that’s sarcasm or not.

I don’t blame Henry for wanting to make some money. There’s no money in powerlifting and weightlifting.

I also wouldn’t blame him if he chose to stay in lifting.

We all have our motives.

I wasn’t being sarcastic. I made a mistake of overlooking the great things about being a WWE superstar such as being able to buy tons of power racks, building a huge PL gym, etc.

You however are sharp enough to consider those things. It’s a well deserved compliment on your part.

Also, you can’t discount Ed Coan’s 550x2 pendlay row![/quote]

Would love to see Henry get back in the strength game, but I think he’s past his prime. Woulda coulda shoulda for him, strong dude no doubt though.

I like Ed Coan, but he’s not in the discussion.

Ed Coan is an American!.. Wait a minute, is this thread exclusively for WSM competitors ONLY?

The best pound for pound American I’d have to call Poundstone or Mark Henry, i’d love to see Henry compete again.

48

Lb for lb no-one can touch Coan.

I thought this was about the absolute strongest tho…

Who exactly is the strongest american olympic lifter? (pound for pound!) Ed Coan is a no brainer in PL, what about oly lifting?

Going by the last Olympic trials, Chad Vaughn(77) and Kendrick Farris(85) are. Kendrick is currently hurt, and I think Chad might be retiring. That leaves Lance Frye(77), Jeff Whitmer (94) and Norik Vardanian (94) as probably the best few lifters around after Sinclair formulas are applied.
