Bertil was criminally underrated and WAY ahead of his time. The judges made him lose like 45 pounds because he was too massive... ::)
-
Bertil had some of the most massive biceps of all time (better than even Colemans)
-
Reeves had no idea he was standing between a psychopath and a sociopath.
-
Did bodybuilding have trading cards at one point?
-
From the front, 91-93 Strydom was one of the best ever. Crazy to think he is 6'2'' or something as well
-
I remember he stated his height of being "very tall" in superstars of muscle then said 5'10 or 11, can't remember which and thought so not very tall atall then

Definitely a bit taller than Haney. Isn't Haney 5'10-11''?

STRYDOM OVER DIETED THAT YEAR BUT STILL LOOKS GREAT IN THAT SIDE CHEST,,HANEY LOOKS SICK AS WELL IN THAT SHOT..

gary looked awesome back then .

Both those guy's looked great from the front, but when they turned around it was a different story.
-
I'm an even six and Gary's an inch or more taller. Spent several hours with him in the mid-'90s.

Over dieted is just a PC way of saying you fucked up your stims and other drugs.

back when their arms were actually bigger than their shoulders and their pecs were bigger than their shoulders too
-
Gary had a great chest.

Gary had a great chest.
Agreed - he could get away with the XXXXXL clothes too (most of the time)...
-
Gary Strydow was taking selfies before the term "selfie" was coined. Mike O'Hearn has been trying to mimick Strydoms old MySpace page for years
-
^^^^ :D
Look at that waist separation...

Seems like a nice guy.
Gary's a terrific fella. Wish for him all the best.
He was super friendly, kind and funny when I hung with him for an afternoon.
Huge, too. Around 285, he had said. Possibly the thickest wheels I've ever seen on a "tall" man, as well.

Yeah I know - repost of a repost of a repost, but as a GS fan through and through, still a mind blower for me...

You don't see that anymore.

another thing gary never gets credit for is he did better for himself financially then all the other clowns he competed against in the 80's and early 90's
the guy was smart with his money. took his wbf money and invested it and basically never had to compete again.
-
100% positive dude. It's all about longevity (and Triptorelin of course ;))

Guy's essentially been retired for 20 years and with eight weeks could step onstage next to Branch and obliterate the dwarf.
-
One of the best to ever grace the stage.
If he had a better back he`d have a few Mr. O titles to be sure.
-

Christ you and I could do that if the judging was fair.
But I agree,Strydom would make him look more like the pure unadulterated shit that he looks like presently.

True

From the front he was mr O back then....no challenge.
From the back he wasn't even Pro Card material.

have you watched any videos of him?
he had a poor back, poor legs...many bodyparts were lacking.
bb is not just about arms and pecs.
-
You don't see that anymore.
:'(

Yea bertils flaws were obvious when he opened up his physique, structurely narrow, his lats didn't flare out in the fdb so his taper wasn't good, so his best poses were most muscular variations and single biceps shots. He didn't look good from all angles.

Always admired both Strydom's physique and his intelligence in being successful in all areas
Bertil, although ahead of his time as far as muscle thickness goes, had such horrid exercise form he makes branch's style look like yoga

This surprises me, in my mind Fox had already gone down for murder by the time Strydom appeared on the scene. Guess not.
Love Bertil "my horseshoes are not for horses only" Fox.

Only relevant because Bertil is in the shots (I'm just feeling nostalgic, is all :-[ :'()

Poor legs ???

Marjo Selin was one of the nicest personalities I have ever met in the industry. Her and her husband. Love that woman.

Well...Bertil had a better back in terms of detail than say Branch, or maybe even Jay Cutler. He just didn't had the width. Bertil the bodybuilder was way ahead of his time, Bertil the man, killed all of chances due to his insecurities and domestic violence tendencies (double murder).

His back had good detail but that's it :-\

He's 210lbs and his back pales in comparison to a 188lbs Samir

I always thought that when looking at him train his other bodyparts, no wonder he didn't have "wings".
That crappy and sloppy "one side going up first, it will get there when it gets there" and lack of concentration.

Great pic :) Also, I am such a sad old fart that it has triggered a massive urge in me to start a Rick Valente / 80s gym wear combined nostalgia thread right now...

An emaciated Bertil Fox who was forced by the judges to lose 25 pounds of competition weight (going from 240 to 215). He looked a million times better in 1982/1983.
