His back looks way underpar there, especially when standing next to and comparing to the guy that took back development to a new level, Haney
He did admit to overdieting for that show, and while his back could never compare to Haney's, he's not in the pose properly in both pics (small difference, I know, but still...)

Also in WBF days, his back looked thicker definitely brought it up a bit,

And weakest back in the history on bodybuilding. He has been competitive bodybuilder 29 years, and in that time he hasn't been able to to create wide back pose. How stupid is that?

Made some good money in the WBF for a few of years.

"In recruiting the 13 musclemen, the WBF has flourished megabucks. For instance, it was reported that Gary Strydom had a three-year deal worth $400,000 per year."

I will say this about Strydom:

I think he beat Gaspari in the first Arnold Classic.

That decision was a joke.

In 1989, IMO, gaspari beat robby and strydom fairly. He was the best onstage. Yes, he had the momentum of the weider machine, but he was complete

Robby lacked the lower body and conditioning, wasn't at his best, gaspari was much thicker, that was gaspari at his best, thick back and pecs, decent arms

Strydom was always sharp, but sometimes sacrificed muscle for conditioning, gaspari had both. From behind strydom had very good hams, and had ripped glutes, etc, but gaspari had all that plus thickness, size and conditioning, and he had  a back

Compare the 3, frame-wise, Robby wins, strydom fantastic delts, tight waist
Gaspari had the worst frame of the 3, but he had a package that on its best day was unbeatable.

If gaspari was around competing today, hed go on stage looking like a mixture of branch/heath/kai, full of slin/gh/oil, he'd win 3 shows in a row, and die a gruesome death the next day.. He pushed everything to the limit.

Always showed up big and ripped. He beat a lot of top shelf guys. His down fall was his back. It was cut up but small. He also made a lot of money in his day with a clothing line that was big.

IIRC, 3 weeks prior to that Mr. O, he lost the Chicago Pro show to Jon Hnatyshack (sp?), so he went crazy for conditon and dropped a ton of weight, which was a huge mistake.

Seems to me he's living off glory he's getting now, for being in great shape..

The fact is, even if Strydom drops dead today, is it a shame?  I don't think so.  Look at the dude, he IS living it up on the PED. 

Naturally I am quite wildly presuming, here but based on the complete void of any shirt off or guest posing gigs etc, Nasser seemed to use PED just to save himself from going back to where he started. 

I can understand that - of course, but that definitely is a shame (and it was too soon).

I really doubt he used insulin, growth hormone or oil injection back then. No one did. He actually might have 100% kidney function. His heart is another topic.

I have to disagree.

I was there. Crowd booed mightily.

Gaspari was holding water. Strydom's back is not great, but neither was Gaspari's. I have old M&F mags where Rich admits his back was weak. He said everyone complained/made fun of his V taper.

Even if Strydom lost the back shot, he won everything else.
