Wow, that's a shocker! I remember someone at IA (maybe Ken B or Jeff Preston) posting a photo of Ed, onstage he was monsterous! But hours later offstage, he looked like Steve Urkel!!!  Just shows you Bob C is right in his saying "It's not how much you lift, it's how much you look like you lift!" RIP Ed.  |

He was a guy that could never REALLY dial in his condition, but had more muscle per square inch than almost anyone in his day. If he ever got truly shredded he would have been unstoppable.
Terrible loss.

So sad, we're losing to many of these former champions, makes you wonder what the heck their doing to themselves. None of us is going to live forever, its just depressing to see so many going too soon.
