Tribute to the Legendary Gary Strydom

[unrageable]

This is why the later 1980s was boring in bodybuilding.  Shit physiques.  The guys in the 1970s look more impressive.  Not to mention all the manlets in the 1980s.

Lee Haney is the only person through the 1980s that was amazing.  One of the best physiques today and unlike Ronnie, deserved all of his wins.

90s>70s>00s>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>60s>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>80s.

Fuck Gary.

53 and large and in charge? Who needs to be on the sauce at that age? Someone still hanging onto the thong of yesteryear.
Weep not, for we all yearn for yesterday, but neglect that we can never have it back.

once a bodybuilder always a bodybuilder, some just cant flip the switch off

Why wouldn't you WANT to be?  What's wrong with that?  Some people enjoy being large.  Strydom looks better and bigger now than when he was younger.

Where are the stories of gary moving alot of coke back in the day when he came onto the scene in the states, use to bring it back down from SA/

Gary was quoted saying "I won 25k in a contest that cost me 23k"

HAHAHA!!!  Strydom is an awesome f@cking guy!  So Haney beat him in the back department-so what?  Who, at 53 years old, is still large and in charge, always staying around 280-290!  I talk to Strydom regularly, and while all these other guys have shrunk up to nothing, looking like they never touched a weight, Strydom still walks the walk!
You people that put him down should get a f@ckin' life!!!

i agree the man's a Legend....he used say (  TOO LEGIT TO QUIT  ) and he was...

fantastic upper body

Yeah, I don't get it. Why must a person suddenly stop giving a damn about the bodybuilding lifestyle once he hits a certain age? I don't plan on stopping in my 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s or 60s. I love lifting hard and looking good.

[Reeves]

So why am I seeing a monkey picture here of yourself I dont see you Hate people that talk but dont look like ANYTHING!!

Gary Strydom...Yea its me... 

Hmmmm... I don't look like shit.  You do, but then that's due to you being full of shit.  Oh and in the event that you do no comprehend, "shit" is a metaphor for all the "drugs" you require to be, well... to be "you".

For you reality definitely goes like this.  No drugs.  No "physique".  No shit. 

And if you are indeed Gary Strydom, I can assure you that you do not want to go there.  I am no match for you in either the gym or on the dais, just as you are no match for me on a mental scale.  Either in the real world or here in the Matrix of Getbig.  Or as you might put it if you had the brain power to back it...

"Reeves...Yea I'm that smart". 

And you are not.  Personally I think you're just  intercoursing with us. But the truth of my words still stands.  Without drugs, this Strydom fellow is nothing. With then, he's just a bigger nothing.  Later, kiddo.

[WillGrant]

Gary was one of my favourites when I first started training as a young teen ,Tho  then I thoght he was natural still and all weider mega mass   - saw some pics taken last year from in Thailand I think and he still looks unreal and for his age to. --->  

Welcome to GB Gary, hope you stick around and dont get offended by the loseness of this place  

BTW what is your fave drug of all time or stack ?  

[Meso_z]

 lol @ squarehead creating a useless thread, only to get people argue back and forth.

 

[body1991]

is mr.hair plug himself trying to put himself in the same category as lee haney?

ahahahahahahahahahah oh brother.

listen champ- i know you have to hang onto the past and whatever delusions of greatness you have from that time cause you live in an empty shell called present day, but if you think for one second that the body you had back then is special the news is friend, it isnt.

today your nothing special. but i get why you need to think you are. its all you have.

welcome to the thunderdome, bitch.

Hey Mr No One. Just because you small weak living in a trailer and on welfare doesn't mean you should be jealous of big guys like me . I suggest you go to the gym and start working out. If that seems to intimidating for you then try to do a few push ups in the trailer. It will help. Maybe eat a good meal of macaroni and cheese from a can and am sure you will feel a lot better. I have a better record than special in bodybuilding...Its in the history books bro. Just google and see my record it speaks for itself. Oh and today if you want to go on face book and see am still world class at my age. Let me ask you???.. WTF have you done lately in bodybuilding....Nothing. ..You have done nothing with your life. That's why you No one bro...Sad. I feel sorry for you. Thunderdome?...You stay in your wrestling world ok...Watch your movies and stay away from real men on the internet because you the bitch...Strong online scared in life...That's you...Check mate bitch.

[body1991]

You think to highly of The Tank

Gary won 5 IFBB pro shows , John never won any , he had a good physique but nothing exceptional

Thanks Nar but am also the only WBF champ ever...That put bank in my pocket so no regrets at all  There will never be another WBF champ and there were good athletes there. Thats in the history books. John was good but he never won anything???

[body1991]

Of course he beat them, either when they were past their prime, or newbies...
He couldn't beat them at their best...he couldn't hang with the guys 93-98, but Sherman could.
And since that era featured the best, I go by that.
And I put Lee Priest ahead of Strydom, and Lee had no chest!

hahahaha Gangsta want to be. I put myself ahead of you because you skinny weak...No chest no arms no legs no delts....And it goes on and on...Eat a good meal of macaroni and cheese from a can and am sure you will feel a lot better. Stay away from real men on the internet because you a bitch...Strong online scared in life...That's you...Check mate bitch.

Why switch off when you can stay on?? Live life the way you want not the way others want you to live it. Live it... love it.

meltdown.

one would think that at 52 you had better things to do than get angry with teenagers on an internet message board... 

[body1991]

Hmmmm... I don't look like shit.  You do, but then that's due to you being full of shit.  Oh and in the event that you do no comprehend, "shit" is a metaphor for all the "drugs" you require to be, well... to be "you".

Oh now I see you changed your profile picture . Its still not you of course because people like you like to hide behind fake pictures. You not mentally strong enough to show yourself. Some nerve to call yourself Reeves. You dont know one tenth of what Reeves knows. I always say if you say you so clever then why didnt you make a name for yourself that you could be proud of because that takes brain power. It wasn't just a lucky thing I did. I planned my career in my head. Came from another country and did what I dreamed about doing. So kiddo in my mind you no match on the stage or mentally...In the real world or in the matrix you just dont match up unless you can tell us you grossed 6 million dollars a year (Which I did)...Which very few other bodybuilders did or are doing? So comon man...Be for real...You nobody if am nothing You funny.....

[body1991]

meltdown.

one would think that at 52 you had better things to do than get angry with teenagers on an internet message board... 

If I was melting down you wouldn't hear from me but am on it bro....Any one thinks they can talk shit here about me without me responding they mistaken...Also, dont tell me what I should be doing at 52....?? I do what I want when I want. Teenagers need an ass kicking too...Tey going to get it....So back off kid!!!

[body1991]

props to Gary for defending himself on here.

Thanks Tom

Sheppi/Asif/Oakman/BFRS/YAGR again...?

[body1991]

Ill give him jay, but Phil has a better structure and shape, and when he was 215-220, back in 2006, he really impressed me.

What truly is disappointing about Gary is his total lack of completeness from the rear. Especially in the time of Lee Haney, Mike Christian, Lee Labrada, Gaspari, etc...those dudes were always on point.

Bertil Fox and Gary were only good from the front, from the back they showed what they really were...
And of course Fox, was more "legendary" that Gary in terms of physique but at least Gary didn't commit murder and wasn't a asshole woman beater. Advantage, Gary Strydom.

If Bertil Fox is more legendary than me why did I beat him on stage 5 times in a row. 5-0 Fox really didnt commit murder there was a struggle with a gun and it went off. It was an accident but hard to prove so hes in jail...Just shows how much you know. Bertil Fox is my friend so I know...Check mate again boy..

Oh boy, you're a real badass.
