Ron, you should have someone interview Ed

"They're the ones that are short-sighted. Now in 6 months I could still be in the van. But If I can out lift everybody, out squat them, out bench them, out deadlift them, then who's the king?"

"The Golden era was better cause we were all friends and there was no money involved"
I'm sure The Master Blaster is smiling from above every time he hears that classic phrase
WoooSSHHHHHHH them Principles $$$$$$$

I never met Ed. But I did know Zabo, Joe, Arnold, Sergio, Frank, Armand, Ray Mentzer, Seymour Koenig and a few of the other guys.
Nice to see that Eddie is still the same guy. In the old days nobody made any money...well except Joe W and Arnold and to a lesser degree Joe Gold.
The guys hung out together and the lifestyle was fun.

I see when and a lot of the older bodybuilders usually at Muscle Beach.
Very cool and respectful...

Ed seems like a cool old Italian guy and still busting Drasin's balls which is funny

You need to stick to posting about stuff like this. On that note. I knew Eddie when I trained with Doug Brignole. he was Joe Golds right hand man when Joe had Worlds Gym in Santa Monica. He was awesome with some great stories. That was a great interview.

Zabo was in the same gym as Joe Gold and Eddie. How could you have not met him?

I was in Golds for a couple of days in 1991. I guess Ed Giuliani was there but I didn't talk to him much. When I was at Golds for a whole month back in
October 1968 I got to talk to Joe, Zabo, Dave Draper, Arnold, Chuck Fautz and Seymour Koenig.
There was a funny story about one of my visits in 1991. I wanted to talk to Zabo at World Gym. I think it was in the evening. I was told he
was asleep in the cupboard. I didn't know whether he was there or not. Apparently Joe Gold didn't like Zabo sleeping on the job so
Zabo, being the resouceful guy he was, slept there and if Joe called he would be notified. I didn't get to talk to Zabo that night.
Zabo always used to say there was no gold at the end of the rainbow in bodybuilding.

You should stick to not posting at all.
how many times have you melted down and said you were leaving and then changed your name
I recall Joe Loco, Mr Intense One and I think you had one or two more or maybe I'm confusing your number of former user names with the number of your ex wives

I used to see Giuliani in Golds every day. Same personality as today. When I was there(1973) the crowd included Arnold, Franco, Robbie, Frank Zane, Ken Waller and Ed. They would train in the morning and be on Venice beach in the Afternoon.
There was a great Swedish smorgasborg up the hill, $1.60, all you could eat(or sneak out in a gym bag).
All of those guys were good guys, no assholes, not arrogant, treated everyone the same. (Waller seemed a little surly at times).

To put it into perspective... $1.60 in 1973 is approximately $8.77 in 2014. G4P paid a lot less then too.
You can thank the Federal reserve and central banking for all the US dollar debasement.

Until he blows out his back, shoulder, knee or tears a pec.

You care because you took the time to post that no one cares. He always just dives into a personal story no matter the thread, I find his posts hilarious.

This story was posted on Ironage by a member and this old douche plagiarized it.

Love Eddie. We became good friends (maybe both of us being Italian and from NY had something to do with it).
He used to let me train at World Gym in Venice for free when I lived down there. We used to talk and bullshit about bodybuilding and life in general all the time. He also gave me free World Gym tanks and shirts. I've even been to his house on Boone Ave. in Venice to fix his cable. His wife was very nice as well. I should probably get back in touch with him while there's still time!
I used to know Zabo and Ira Bankowski fairly well too. Fixed their cable service also. I knew Don Ross and Artie Zeller as well. Bullshitted a lot with those guys when I used to go and train. I miss those good old 90's days...

Great video as usual from Ric, one of the best sources of good BB advice and facts on the web. Nice interview with Eddie, wish it was 30 minutes long!
