The areas that Strydom would shine: Delts, Pecs, Quads

Gary like Nasser could hold his own with anyone till he turned around. You just can't win a major competition like the Olympia since Haney won his first show without an Olympia standard back. Yates knew then only way to beat Haney was to at least equal him in back or he was no chance. If Yates didn't have a back Haney would not have retired. Yates had a back and head to toe conditioning that Haney didn't, even though Lee had one of the best back double biceps in the game, he knew Yates conditioning combined with his size meant he had to go to another level to hold him off. He chose his health and retired rather than eventually lose, 91 was close, 92 would have been closer, 93 like everyone else he was no chance.
