If he knew how to work his chest/back/arms/legs harder, he could have won it all with better condition.

Post by: NarcissisticDeity on December 25, 2006, 02:06:29 PM: Back in the 1990s the nationals were a much tougher field you had a LOT of great guys , his physique would outclass many an amateur today , he looked better lighter in my opinion and would have made a great Pro ! he had an excellent physique.

Edgar and Mendenhall are the best BB that never made the pros.

I would also put Rory Leidelmeyer in that group as well.

His tris were off the meter, bis were good. His problem was conditioning. Titus had bagged on him, one time...the way Titus had put it, Edgar was better at serving food at Dairy Queen than getting into contest shape.

Post by: CF on December 27, 2006, 09:23:17 PM: I agree Sami. I was at the 93 USA's which he should have won. He wound up withdrawing after being hospitalized after prejuding. His physique was awesome, his timing was always a little off.
