Ed can you recommend something for poser bodybuilding wannabee like Scott Markey?

He is very insecure and could use some tips from you.

He lacks chest real bad!


Oh also is it true that Arnold use to train low volume during offseason and off drugs?

Did Arnold only start taking the two months leading up to competition?

Can you tell us some bedtime stories about the 1970's?

Ed you are a legend please reply.

If this is Ed, I'd like to hear his take on current drug regimines versus what was used when he competed.  I'm sure he knows Arnold's drug cycles when he competed.  So, compare Arnold and Ed's drug cycles versus what he does now and what current pros use now.  Any thoughts on this gh15?

I met you 30 years ago while I was training at Bill Pearls gym in Pasadena, I was 16 then and was doing my first contest, Bill was helping me with my posing at his house and you were there as well and gave my some instruction that I never forgot and applied them to my future shows. I never lost getting the "best poser" trophy (when they still had awards for that). Thanks.

No, I was in the film too very briefly.  All of us guys went and filmed Stay Hungry first and then after it was done we set about to raise money to finish the Pumping Iron movie.  One way we did that was by staging a posing exhibition with me, Arnold and Zane at the Whitney Museum in New York City.

Thanks again to everybody that's been so welcoming towards me here today. 

I'm down in Texas now at the Europa show Expo.  You can come by and meet me if you live in the area.  I'll be here tomorrow at the Europa Sports Nutrition booth.  Make sure to mention that you're a member of the forum here.

I'll try to post some additional current photos of myself when I return home to California. 

I'm back to training on a six day per week double split at age 73.  It's just like the routine that Arnold and I did together back in 1975.  It feels great.

All the best

Ed

Hope to see some of you today in Texas.  I had the chance to spend some time with Bob C. yesterday at the Expo. 

Again thanks for the welcome here.  When I started, at the late age of 33, in my first local show, I could never have imagined that I'd become successful enough in the sport that one day folks would think that I wasn't really me when I showed up somewhere - like the fellows that apparently think I'm the fake Ed Corney here at GetBig.  ;D 

Again, please come by and say hello today, if you get the chance - or write to me directly at info@EdCorney.net - But I won't be able to get to that email until I return to California. 

All the best.  Got to go.

To answer your question...it's better than someone who never discovers his limits using whatever he's been given. Better than someone who never tries to do something exceptional with his life no matter how it turns out. I'm not saying that's YOU SF, I'm just trying to help you understand someone like Dave.
