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.

From the front, 91-93 Strydom was one of the best ever. Crazy to think he is 6'2'' or something as well

 

From the front he was mr O back then....no challenge.

From the back he wasn't even Pro Card material.

Bertil was criminally underrated and WAY ahead of his time. The judges made him lose like 45 pounds because he was too massive...  ::)



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.

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.

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).



And of course



And one next to Strydom

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.
