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

Best Front DB ever

Wasn't he shorter than Lee Priest?

I met Edgar a few times, very nice and humble guy.

No, probably around 5'6".

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.

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
