Once he signed on with the WBF, that was it when it folded.  He was never going to be given the placings he should of gotton from that point on.

Delts are too big.

Always liked Gary....Unfortunately Matt that is not him...

That is DEFINITELY Gary. It appeared in an article in MuscleMag and they quoted Gary talking about being that small.

Put Gary on the levels of GH that most of today's guys are on, and you would have seen a much different Strydom. 

I don't know how much better his back could have gotten, but the rest of him was fucking amazing.

These guys with no backs (Dillett, Gunter, Strydom), all have the distinction of being 6'1.  It's probably just a lot harder to look big at that height.

Are you kidding me? Gunter has a gigantic back - one of the biggest I've ever seen.

I had Gary here in 1989. He won our pro Grand Prix that year. We had 2 shows, Robbie won one and Gary the other. I had him back to guest pose about a year later and I weighed him at 128kg or 282lb in very good condition. He was one of the most popular guests ever. He was very intense about training and a fan favorite. I have ran into him several times since and he has always been in great shape. You guys underestimate how good he was. Although everyone rags on his back and posts that shot next to Haney, Gary over dieted for his first and only Olympia and he faded from the back. When he didn't over-diet, his back wasn't that bad. I would have to say in 18 years of promoting, he would be one of our top 5 guest posers ever. Can't wait to see his return. Gary was one of the first "freaky" bodybuilders, long before our current era.

  But what would happen to his stomach? :-\
