I know Edge was never one of the bulkier guys but he was always in somewhat decent shape however im watching a show from 2010 and he hardly has any muscle mass at all. Was he so banged up and injured that he couldnt train around this time?

he probably was.....he was just back from the tendon injury and maybe couldn't retain the workout regimen he once had?
but yeah there was a noticeable difference in his physique AND in ring work on his return.he was defo missing a step when he came back.

If I remember correctly, Edge was concealing the extent of his injuries, more specifically his neck issues. Which could be the reason why he was a bit more flabby at this time til WM 27 rolled around and he had to call it a career. I know him doing the spear caused more problems for his neck, idk if anyone can verify that?

He probably wasn't weight lifting but I would think he'd have to be cardio training.

I remember back in 2002-04, he was huge. About the time the whole Lita story surfaced, his wife publicly said he was on something. He gradually got smaller after that. While I always thought that was a lover pissed off & willing to do anything to hurt him, that was always in the back of my mind.
My first thought was because of his age & injuries. I figured he had to change his workout routine to fit within the limits of what his body would let BIM do.

Edge was definitely juiced up after his return from the first neck surgery.

Well one reason that he was so big back in 2004-2005 was he was taking HGH after his neck injury since the doctors told him that it would help the bones grow back around the screws and plate in his neck.

Also Edge had a torn achilles tendon injury, most athletes careers are over after an injury like that. I believe once he came back in 2010, he really wasn't the same (in-ring wise).

He was using it to get back into the ring quicker. He put on all that muscle and didnt like how it was limiting him in the ring and eventually got off to lose the mass. |

Edge never had much of a physique after the Wellness Policy came into effect.

I remember back in 05 his now ex wife said he was a steroid user then too. But upon his return he did seem a lot more cautious in the ring & now that we know how his health was, you can't blame him.

from around the time of his ladder match against jeff hardy at extreme rules in 2009, so around the time him and Jericho were tag champs he looked really small not fabbly but just really skinny.

Professional Athletes don't just "stop working out"

Toning up and losing water in your face will also make it appear to change. As for Edge, he was never really big but did look impressive during a short time. Seems like he just got lazy after his first cycle and quit training all together. |

never needed the heavy physique in my opinion anyhow, looked like a goof with it.
he may have originally gained the bulk to be seen as a legitimate contender in the main event scene, we all know how geared the wwe is towards that mentality.

I remember when he returned from injury in around 2007-2008 he said that he's stopped working out for a while. I had him sign my wrestlemania 25 programme a few years ago and he laughed at how chubby he looked in the picture and said he hasn't been to the gym in months at the time it was taken.

He was one of the wrestlers implicated in the Signature Pharmacy drug scandal i think. Others who tool drugs were Booker T, Eddie Guerrero, Angle, etc.
His size has fluctuated greatly through the years.

If you've had a long career I think you deserve to not workout as much... I mean, You've only got so many years left to wrestle, And some body fat isn't a horror if you've had a good career already.
