that too,,,since what 1984 its all he is known for other than crazzzeeee wear..
-
One of the greatest physique of all time, how a bodybuilder should look, and not the usual midget... From the front probably the best during Haney's reign, fairly bigger also, very complete, except for the back...
-

do you know why they got rid of the masters O?
-
Damn :o
-
hes one of the very few pros that did well with his money and never went broke he only competed twice after the wbf folded and stated a few times he didnt need the money
looks way better than yates or ronnie do right now thats for sure
-
conditioning actually seems crisper than when he was in his 'prime' 25 years ago

Impressive. Looks like a dude in his 30's. Very good physique, props to him.
-
wbf version,comeback version,
-
Not only looks better than Yates and melted Coleman, but a lot bigger also, both in height and muscle mass... All three still on the juice, Strydom wins, and he started before them...
-
sick pics..

live by the thong
die by the thong.

a mate of mine got in shape to go on holiday, first person he bumped into when he walked out of the hotel complex onto the beach was Gary.
;D

-

very sad to see!
-
gary looks awesome

cant imagine all thats for a selfie.
-
really ???,,its like ok shirt back on or posedown to say 'you posed with gary effing strydom..
The point was he thought he looked great and was going to blow everyone away on the beach.
He saw Strydom and it made him feel like he had wasted his time.
-
Awesome bodybuilder.
I always wanted to have delts like Gary when I first started out.
-
Looks fantastic that rug is holding up well.
But still no lat's at all..
-
Amazing. One of my favourite bodybuilders, ever.
-
unreal. mad props. fuck how does he do it.
inspiring.
-
damn he looks great no homo

What's the most you've seen him eat in one sitting, Fortress ? You mentioned this in another thread.
-

Shame he had one of narrowest backs going, bit silly to compare him to two of the best backs in history...
Still an inspirational bodybuilder, looking good for decades, which should be the ultimate goal
-
Anyone know what his training is like? He doesn't have a ripped muscle, or deflated tris. Wow he looks better than ever.
-
Looks like he didn't get caught up in the insulin trend that ruins bodies. Good for him...

Simply amazing - being married to Sherif sure has its benefits.
-
No palumboism on this guy ever!
-

when I saw gary train........he was more into moderate weights and no ego training......I don't think he has had very many injuries.
good blend of machines and free weights.

I trained with Gary many times. Your comments are correct.
Strange- he rarely ever did forced reps and absolutely refused to do drop sets. It was weird- he was able to make a great "mind/muscle" connection while training.
-

Yates had a good blend of barbells, dumbbells, cables, and machines.... But he went too heavy. Hurt himself.
-
What's the most you've seen him eat in one sitting, Fortress?
We were at the Firehouse in Venice and he would eat one serving of something on the menu and then order something else. Eat that ... and then order something else ... And on and on it went. This was lunch. (If I recall, the food items were classic stuff like eggs, meats, pancakes, etc.) His tab was crazy for a lunch bill. But he was making lots of money and didn't give two shits. And Like I say, the man was gigantic. He was hovering around 285 and perhaps one or two weeks off stage condition. No lie. Put it this way. He could have been well over 300 and still in quite good condition.
Gary's a friendly and smart guy. He doesn't have any conceit in him and has a warm smile wherever he goes.
I've always wished for nothing but the best for the dude. He was very gracious towards me.

It just doesn't make sense.. 54? ffs. I guess T.Freeman will hang around on the stage for quite some time to come then.
-
What kind of asshole trains so "hard" he repeatedly tears muscles off the bone?
Dorian.
That's who.
-
Anyone remember the MuscleMag that showed a pic of Gary when he was completely off? He was joking around making side chest pics and a biceps pic with the caption; We are always amazed in how Bodybuilders can build themselves back up" or something of that nature. I think it was 1986 or 87, Strydom looked like a tennis player...he is that skinny.
STAY POSITIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

after wfb i believe 93/94 shoulder issue/surgery,,he rebounded to comeback 96 at 260 noc i think he skipped night show or bowed out at prejudge..
-
Born in '59 so he's 55 this year. He looks unbelievable!
-
Strydom hurt his career by leaving the IFBB but he did make a lot of money in that WWF bodybuilding federation. He had everything to be a Mr. Olympia except for a great back. He came in really lean for this contest.
-
The thing that hurt Gary most was Lee Haney's back..

really giving haney a run for his money there. imo better from the front.
the guy had one of the greatest physiques of all time. who cares what his back looked like when he 'posed'.
-

This. I've seen Gary in his prime doing a photo shoot for Flex right after the '88 Olympia. He was hard and dense and very impressive. Lee had a shoot 15 minutes later. That's when I was really impressed! Pictures never did Lee justice. His lats were U shaped, and his chest was super thick. Dense as well. Great guy as well. Very humble. Signed my weight belt, and it didn't cost me 20 bucks... ;D

He's not close to Haney in that pose , admittedly he came in small & depleted for this show but he was awful from the back

Like someone said too bad the Master O is gone ...
watching a line up with guys like Gary, Jay Cutler, Lee Priest,Freeman,Dexter etc would've ben more fun than watching the Mr.O
WooSSSHHHHHHHHHHH
-

He really had no back, totally the opposite compared to Dillett... From the front probably the best pro in the 80s, but disappeared from the back... Of course the comparison with Yates and Coleman is about how they look today, not at their best...
-
This is Strydom's back, at its best
-
Awesome...always was/always will be....
-
.................
-
.................
INSANE...
-
.................
Bay likey. :D

THERE is a good video of his 88 posing routine clear ,his face say's it all'condition wise.dude was shredded /waist was ridiculous and abs /intercostals /serratus were peeled,chest /delts were capped and lined all over,for him he was small ,and cause he's tall too,20/30 lbs like 89 version or wbf he's a monster,amazing he could pull that off ,,demey was on that yr and he was going more for the conditioned look too,strydom had all the major bodyparts over him,but gary was being compared to gary and his past he was bigger 87..
-
I think this was before he was going to do the masters. 51/52
-
Probably smahses dem thai pussies all day long.
-
.................
The density is nothing short of impressive ! Looks like a comic book character ! :O

'88 conditioning was off the chart, but overdieted and lost too much mass... Still from the front he was holding his own with everyone, Haney included, of course different story from the back... '91/'92 WBF was monstrous, although a bit softish... De Mey was smaller but always choosing more the conditioned road, and looked great too...
-

STFU JELOUSE TOOL U WISH U HAD MY LIVE!

100 PCT AGREE and I was going to write his condition in 91/92 was a bit soft compared but he was so big ,,demey 86/87 was bigger but like we both stated went all out 88 condition wise..
-
unreal. mad props. fuck how does he do it.
inspiring.
incredibly honnest on his facebook page and replies to almost everything.
He went on a rant a few months ago saying people look like shit loaded up on insulin and synthol and they should juste up the roids with some HGH haha
-

He told me about his crazy early days when him and a bunch of guys back in South Africa would park their asses by the power rack, have containers full of chicken and orange juice (this is what he described), and perform set after set after set of heavy squats until they were almost blind. And it isn't like he didn't have the proof. His wheels have always had that squatter look to them. Unlike Dillett, who, although in possession of wicked legs, he never had that monstrously strong and powerful look (relatively speaking, of course). It's how the legs transition up at top and through to the hips and butt.

:o :o :o looks tons better than most of our current sewage gutted pros!

Dillett had freakier and better overall legs, but i understand what you're saying, in fact as far as i know Paul never ever did barbell squats...

maybe instead of squats he shouldve done chins?
-
Absolutely amazing for any age let alone 54.
-
Looks crazy. That's why I'm not rushing to do grams of shit and ruin my health. Hamdi, Strydom, the Frenchman, they're all over 50 and look great. Hell, even Paris who's shrunken down to a twig still looks good. He pulls off the skinny look well. Then you've got the guys who are 6 feet under who spent their dying days bitter and full of spite and died a young age...

Damn, Gary was tall. Looked to have at least 4" on Lee Haney there, who was a solid 5'11" guy.

Just the angle . Gary was 6'1"
-
he still looks amazing ....
:o

He is looking Great.
Condition and size.
No back pics, I wonder if he has improved it.
Same age as me & makes me think is it worth competing.
He should do the Senior Mr Universe.
He would win. Easy.
