strydom recent pic

[phreak]

supposedly making a comeback

 

[Murada]

He would do well at a local level show. Sheesh talk about no Traps.

 

[bigbaldbulldog]

always liked Gary...

 

[asim]

Heard he's doin the show in Colorado? Is that right?

 

[massmonster32]

There would be no competition for him in a local show or Natls he is way better than that. In no time he would be back to the top area if he wanted. MM

 

[JETHRO TULL]

GARY STRYDOM OBVIOUSLY STILL HAS QUITE A PHYSIQUE.

HE WAS VERY GOOD PREVIOUSLY....WON THE NIGHT OF CHAMPIONS...TAKES QUITE A COMPETITOR TO PULL THAT OFF.

WORTHY OF SOME RESPECT I'D SAY. BUT THAT'S JUST MY PUSSY OPINION.

you serious? I hope not

I always thought he had one of the best physiques back in the day. I wouldn't expect to see him taking out Jay or Ronnie, but I think he could do ok against a lot of todays pros.

Gary's a good guy, always liked his physique as well. He's been very successful in bodybuilding and in business, as an immigrant from South Africa. I see Gary 2-3 times/week when I train late. He trains about 10 p.m. He trains very hard and is quite strong. I haven't asked him what he's weighing, but I would guess around 260, certainly no less than 250, and perhaps as much as 270. As you can see he is quite lean. He does indeed deserve a tremendous amount of respect for his accomplishments. To say that he would do well in a local show only serves to show complete ignorance on the part of someone who would make such a comment. Complete fool.

Rex.

hey Rex,

i have always wondered how tall Strydom is... how tall would you estimate him to be?

thanks

 

[The Myth]

I would say 6'4

He use to tower over Haney on stage, so that is my guess.

 

[phreak]

man, i didn't know he was that tall! damn...


let's just hope he can place in that local show.

btw, someone on ironage who knows him said he was weighing in around 295

 

[mikeheavypecs]

Yeh, I judged Gary when he won the Nationals (in new Orleans if I remember correctly). He was quite a sight to see in his day. Hope he can compete with todays monsters!

He was also very polite always to the Judges....

Mike

 

[Rex Feral]

Gary is 6'2" max.

Rex.

Stry

Now I know personally some of that was IP's gear!!!! LOL.

God bless you with success and health no matter what area of life you are competing in!

[Kahn]

Thats just a good look. I'm glad to see him coming back. I always thought he bailed too quick(I knew it was a business decision though), I thought he could have gone a lot further.

 

[Big A]

In '91 when he won the WBF championship when he was 265 on stage, I reckon he would have plowed through Haney and Yates if he would have done the Olympia that year.

 

[gtj220]

I thought Weider banned all of the guys that went to the WGF and Mc mahon hung them out to dry! Never saw any of them again. Quinn, Demey, Gaspari, Baker, Derth, Strydom was the best of the lot. I think Strydom is about 6 feet.

 

[asim]

The word is he's like 290 right now which I wouldnt disagree with knowing his height and having seen pics from a couple years ago. He's pretty damn thick overall.
