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

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.

back when their arms were actually bigger than their shoulders and their pecs were bigger than their shoulders too

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

^^^^

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.

Taffin · « **Reply #24 on:** April 07, 2016, 07:42:02 PM »

100% positive dude. It's all about longevity (and Triptorelin of course

)
