About Eddie Giuliani’s Legacy
Giuliani began competing in 1951. The Brooklyn native eventually made the move to California in order to focus on his bodybuilding career. As an AAU competitor, Giuliani won shows such as Mr. New York City and Mr. Atlantic Coast. He also saw great success on the other side of the country with victories in shows like the Mr. Pacific Coast and Mr. Western America.
At 5-foot-6, Giuliani was one of the top competitors in his height category. He made the move to IFBB in 1964 and earned his first victory the very next year at the 1965 Mr. Northeastern States.
In 1974, Giuliani hit his stride racking up victories at the Mr. America and Mr. Western America in his division. He was also named the overall winner during the Mr. Western America show. Giuliani would compete in his last show in 1982, finishing fifth during the Mr. Universe competition.
Eddie Giuliani quickly became known for his training style over the course of his career. He enjoyed a great passion for fitness and training. During his peak years in the sport, Giuliani was training six days a week for up to three hours a day. Giuliani often dedicated 15-20 sets to each body part and did not rest much between sets.
Giuliani’s workouts often changed when preparing for a show. He would reduce the number of sets he would do to around five per body part. The sets might have been down but the workouts were more intense. The weight would be high but Giuliani would really focus on concentration and focus during this preparation.
