One of the most underrated Amatures ever.... Should have gone pro IMO. He was also a smart poser...not to mention he could pull of a vaccum an an impressive bodyweight.

Edgar is another guy who should have a pro card way before someone like Peter Putnam does.

They say he could never nail his conditioning for a show. I didn't really understand what that meant when I first saw those pics so many years ago.

I never knew he didnt make it pro; That is pretty horrible. The organization should of recognized such "talent" or "potential" and should have propelled him into the pro ranks. Damn, I still cant believe he didnt make it pro...

You dont win based on "potential"...well, in Canada they do...but not here in the US, and not in the NPC.

Having been in a similiar situation...you just need to bring it on game day, plain and simple.

I merged with JIm Rockell @ Samsons Gym/ Rockells family fitness when I turned pro, and moved to Cali after I signed the GNC contract

Why the fuck did you want to be a cop? You should've got a real job and produced something instead of leaching on the producers.

Merged as in, sold my equipment to him, and ran the personal training out of his gym until I won the USA and signed a contract...after taking 2nd at the 1999 Nationals, I was putting all my eggs in the proverbial basket...I devoted full time/prep to the 2000USA
