Gary Strydom Comeback

He is supposed to compete at the www.ColoradoProShow.com this May, and at 47 years old!

He's got the camera in front of his face! I can't tell if it's him or not

ummm...take my word for it?

Seems like comebacks are the thing to do these days.

Pretty damn good shape for a 47 yr old! I never much liked him though so i dont care if he does well or not.

I thought he was cool, but that was a very very long time ago. Bodies today are different, but it will be interesting to see what he turns out.

He always had a great chest but his lats were overshadowed. He's gonna really have to work on that back to make it to the Masters O

I never thought much of Gary, when he beat Matt Mendenhall in the 1986 Nationals it was BS. Matt looked much better.......Gary will get destroyed by todays pros.

I saw Strydom in the gym tonight. He was weighing 288 lbs. (supposedly) and was roughly 4 percent bodyfat... at best. He was "really" lean... too small though. He said he's trying to eat up a bit as he's too low atm. His color is there, legs were there in full force, back and arms looked a bit small, but the man's in shape and I'm being critical. Though his arms may have looked a little small on him.. they were super shredded and made up for it in shape. Just my two cents from tonight.
