What do you think of Eddie's physique?

[Hulkster]

I remember reading an interview in WBF magazine where Eddie stated that he was "trying to be like Tom Platz" in that he was going for 50 rep squats with 315 pounds.  Apparently, at the time, the most he got up to was 37 (which is massive!)- now we know how he got his HUGE legs.

Secondly, I recall reading that Eddie won a grand prix pro show (Niagra falls??) but later read that he never won a pro show.

Did he or didn't he?

His arms were insane - at the first WBF show he should have placed second to Gary Strydom.

Eddie is incredable! i have an old issue of flex with him and rich gaspari doing tricep extensions with the 200. I love Eddie's attitude when it came to balls to the wall training.

I beleive I read in Muscle Mag a while back that he is a tatoo artist now?    He said in the interview that he is going into cosmetic surgery-permanent makeup?

He benched 610 at 220? Sounds pretty hard to believe.

I recall reading that had it been a sanctioned lift, it would have been a record for that weight class. (from his WBF mag. article)
