Hey i could be wrong but i swore i read on here somewhere you got it , how is it ?
i was thinking of buying it thanks bro .

Better than back in the day? That’s hard to believe. Sure he looks great for his age, but can you really say he looks better now?
I was at the gym today to do cardio and before i got on the machine I went over to our magazine table; someone had brought it a stack of old Flex issues form 2002. I took one and flipped through it during my workout (it was all new to me since I haven’t read Flex since 1994) and they had a pic in there of Don Youngblood after winning his Master’s O. :o
Is the Gary of today competitive with Don of 2002?

Regarding Gary being so attractive in the eyes of so many of the opposite sex (very unusual for a pro bodybuilder), I remember an incident supporting this way back in like 1988 or 89 when Gary was on the cover of Muscle Mag International with the beautiful Cameo Knuer (Cory Everson's sister). The pic was taken right after a contest (I don't remember which one, but it was before the McMahon Federation started), and Gary was quite ripped.
Anyway, I was in my late teens at the time and had been training a short time. I remember a trip I made to my dentist a few days after buying the mag. There were several female dental assistants coming in and out of the room, all making a huge fuss over a copy of the same issue of MMI one of them had brought to work. They were all drooling over Strydom in contest condition. None of these women appeared to be bodybuilders or even serious fitness enthusiasts themselves - just typical "girl next door" types. This has always amused me even to this day, since nearly 100% of women will tell you that they feel that almost 100% of all high level competitive bodybuilders are physically unappealing, particularly the closer to contest condition they are.

Gary is the man. im glad he doesnt use too many roids. he is definitly stackin them hoes though uknowwhatimsayin?

I think Gary would trump Don Youngblood from a competitive standpoint, but they both looked damn good for their age.
Gary is 6'1, Don is 5'9. I think that answers the question. ;D
The only major flaw on both of them is stomach distention - I have to say Don would have taken Gary to school in the back department though.
You're not making a lot of sense. Simply being tall does not make one a better bodybuilder and Gary had a notoriously puny back. My vote goes to Don!
-
Fuck Youngblood. Where did all that muscle get him?

I liked don and everything but maybe if he tried to look a little more like Gary he'd still be around....... :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ :'( :'( :'( :'(

gary said he competes at 270. looks 250 tops. he's the same height as paul dillet, who competed at 270, and gary is no where near that size.
-
I remember Gary saying (just before this recent comeback) that he was tired of all the "ugly bodies" with "distended abs" and guts. Well, go figure...Gary's sporting one there as well. (And in the contest he had distended abs too)
-
If you mean straight judging Youngblood would have won but Gary is far more aesthetic.
And with respect only one of them is currently breathing

I wasn't sure if I wanted to get Gary Strydom: Ageless but after reading the review and seeing the pics I'm gonna go ahead and pick it up - thanks Matt C! :)
But dammit, stop your slackin' on these reviews! >:(
They actually help me in my decision on which DVDs to get. ;)

Some comments: Gary is one of the few pros I would think stands a reasonable chance of actually attracting the opposite sex.
Gary Strydom does that.
Are you trying to say that the rest of the pros only attracts the gay community??
OUCH!!!!!

what's up with the fascination for Youngblood....was he a big symbol in the gay community? I'd never have thunk it.

muscularity goes to don...depends what look u want. and wat ur criteria is.
matt c is that u in the avatar if so u natural? looking pretty sick.
-

Early retirement.

It's not fair to compare Gary with Youngblood. Youngblood's condition is seriously on point these days. He's super lean, dry, and great detail. He's on a whole other level than any of us.
