I met Strydom. He was really nice to talk and meet for the first time. I just cant believe he didnt place high in the Colorado Pro.....Strydom looked incredible.

I grew up during Lee Haney, Gary Strydom, Shawn Ray, Berry Demay era....

Ive met Shawn and Gary and look forward to meeting more of my early bodybuilding idols in the near future one day

How is Strydom's supplment company coming along? Ive tried some of his products and they were awesome...

Jerry you and I are from the same BB generation.. It was a great time for bb

.. I first met Gary in the early nineties and he was the widest person I have ever seen

.. He was in town to guest pose for the Aussie nationals and he was so popular he done his routine three time- consecutively.

1987 Night of Champions was Gary Strydom's highlight !
The video of 1987 NOC is a great sensation too.

A friend of my sister saw Gary Stydom at an Airport...She said that Gary had a real arrogant swagger and flared his arms out to the side like Jay does.

I knew a guy who once went to my gym and said he had seen Robby Robinson in a StarBucks in LA. He said that Robby sucked back those Lattes with real attitude. Apparently Robbie swishes the coffee around his mouth and appears to chew on it...

Are you saying Robbie Robinson swirls warm, frothy liquid around is his mouth to remind him of his Weider glory days?

AVBG, can you ask Gary when he will be back to Mid City Gym in NYC. I worked out with him there, he was a very friendly dude. Let him know that they are moving to 42nd st next year.

It was a great day. It was awesome listening about the times they trained together on tour (as far as Holland) and the fun stories they had to tell. They especially laughed about the time Bertil Fox couldnt eat his food on a flight to Europe because it was locked in his bag and he had lost the key. Through the fits of laughter, Robby said that Bertil was so angry you could almost see him smoothen out. Gary said the guy "went off".

I was wondering why everyone was just picking at the steak I bbq'd but then I noticed the one on Robby's plate was challenging Strydom's to a pose down. It was pretty raw to say the least. After 10 more mins on the bbq we discussed the possibility of a training shoot of Strydom and Robby together for Kaged Muscle. Both are in amazing shape. Robby is very humble but a sneak at his abs showed me that he could shoot tomorrow - the guy is diced.

They have both trained together several times over the years and train much the same so this will make for a great shoot.
