55 year old Strydom

[Stayinfit]

He was one of my favorites back in the day.

 

[method2madness]

Mine too. Damn he looks good!

 

[Elvia1023]

That's pretty much the perfect physique to me.

 

[Johnny Smiles]

holy crap. the older I get the more unbelieveable it is to me that he can look that good at that age. science is amazing. as well as genetics of course.

Strydom was the first real 260 lb in ripped shape I actually saw him at the 1990 WBF championships in Atlantic City it was the most ungodly amount of muscle any of us youngsters had ever seen. We were sitting in the second row behind Donald and Ivanna Trump and he literally spit all over everyone in those 2 rows when he did a most muscular! Those were the days - they were literally giving those tickets away to the first show to promote it, and a bunch of us drove up stayed in a flea bag motel and ate our asses off at the casino buffets.

Jesus, he looks younger/better than some 20 and 30 years olds I know of. Damn he looks young and in phenomenal shape.

Yea, he was a big ass dude back in the 90's....well, I wasn't lucky like MG, I only seen him on TV and mags...lol.

His waist still looks good int hat pic too.

 

[Big A]

Arent you the same age? I'll bet you look just as good

 

[Phidias]

Not only does he look INCREDIBLE (for any age, yes), but he also has more hair than most men 35+...

 

[anarchocapitalist]

He looks what 10-12 years younger?

I wonder how much of his agelessness is training, healthy eating, stay on supplements, etc vs. just good genetics ... or both?

 

[Growman]

Damn he looks incredible. That is like perfect shape as far as im concerned.

I was standing next to him on stage in one of masters Mr.O and we were talking about supplements, go to Home | Gary Strydom he gives out some information on what his doing.

Pretty good considering he was almost bald ten years ago.

lol I don't know what combination of aspects keeps him in such great shape, but I'm willing to bet the hair can be assigned to genetics

EDIT: Or not, judging by Q's post above me...

You're serious?!?! WOW!!!

If he keeps on rejuvenating as time goes by, he might even end up with a mullet in 3 or 4 years...

 

[johnjuanb1]

Unbelievable!!! Now that is one in shape man right there! He looks perfect! :headbang:

I don't think I know anybody that is 55 that looks that good. He looks like he is going to compete?

 

[Mike Arnold]

Wow! That is super inspiring to me--to think it is possible to look that good at 55 years old--a time when most men look like utter shit. Just wow.

Most guys, once they get to around that age, no matter how much muscle they maintain/build or how lean they get, begin to take on an aged appearance. The skin loses its elasticity and starts to look more worn, loosing its youthful tone and texture. The muscles themselves start to lose their roundness, while taking on a less seperated, more blurred together appearance. This is generally apparent everywhere, but especially in the legs. Basically, the entire physique shows signs of aging by this point in life.

Gary is he first man I have seen at this age, at least in this pic, where a man's physique is indistinguishable from that of a 20-30 year old in terms of youthful appearance. I can't see any convincing, visible signs of aging anywhere on his body--not in this shot. Just amazing.
