Ed worked out at my gym in Manteca, California in his last years. He also lived in Manteca. I have photos of us working out together. Even after multiple heart-attacks he continued to come back to the gym (against Doctor's orders) and do Dumbell Kickbacks from the END of the rack. I wish I could post photos here ~ we got to spend a lot of time together just prior to his passing. He was very young at heart.... literally ALL of the time. Super cool dude. You could sit down with him, Google his name, click on "images" and he could tell you where he was and when the event was.... with literally hundreds and hundreds of photos. The things he told me about Arnold were incredible. As a matter of fact, Arnold would call Ed once a year just to see how Ed was doing. He wouldn't talk on the phone, he would just wait to hear Ed's voice. This is what Ed told me when he was 82. Ed was supposed to star in Franco's place in "Pumping Iron" but Ed wanted to play with the women and goof around too much, so they put Franco in there.....but they still wanted Ed as much as they could get him. The famous photo of him and Arnold sitting on the bench together... Arnold with his hands out like he was explaining something or describing something to Ed.. what Arnold said to Ed (according to Ed) was: "Do you wanna workout or do you want to work out?" Ed had so many cool, cool stories about his life. We met originally at a gas station, both of us driving Black Corvettes. Ed's Vette was much older than mine and so was Ed, but when we hit the freeway, we were neck to neck.. him in his Black C4, me in my C5Z06. Ed had no fear... no matter how old he got. He wasn't afraid to die and the heart-attacks didn't scare him. He was really something.

Thanks for this Tommy. Because you have so many priceless stories, anecdotes given to you by Ed, I believe we would all be better for it, Ed included, if you were to write them all down. You write well and I know they will be deeply appreciated and enjoyed by everyone. These storied are Golden and shouldn’t evaporate with you. As far as posting pictures here - you can do that as a series of stills strung together in a simple movie. Windows has a free video editor and perhaps someone can show you how (apologies if you know already) otherwise I could show you - easy. Ed’s never fails to give me shivers every single time a watch a vid. You could put all your anecdotes and tastefully edited pics, with music, narration etc. in a dedicated channel made by you, here on KZitem. Good luck.

@Johnny Cage Not really, just that he was real encouraging. I first met him over and Russ's. I just worked out with him while I was working night shift. He liked to train at about eight AM. I would come straight from work. I wasn't able to train with him when I was on my regular day shift. Oddly, some people love working out early in the morning. Years later I worked with a guy named Rick Zumwalt, that was Sylvester Stallones training partner. He invited me to work out with them but they would work out at about six AM at World's in Santa Monica. No way was I going to do that. I lived in Chino at the time.

I remember meeting him at his very first show he was promoting in the Bay Area California. I was just in my 2nd year into the sport including competing at that time. Ed Corney was very inspirational and overall a genuine kind person. We had great conversations every time we ran into each other at the gym or at shows and he was funny too; we would be just laughing away sharing jokes or making silly comments. He is so missed R.I.P.

What I like the most about his posing routine is that he took his time in every pose to give his audience actually have a good look at what he is presenting. Also his attitude in his posing is with full confidence that translate with the music so well! For example his pose at @2:50! Such confidence with a very powerful pose. To me it’s a pose that basically says “I’m taking the crown bc it’s fckn over” Truly remarkable mr Corney
