I got here right after viewing a Steve Reeves video. Strydom, by comparison, looks like he's been blown up with an air pump, in silly, cartoonish sort of way. I recall Reeves once saying that he didn't pump before posing, that he didn't like that look. I agree.
@hunkydaboyz You say each to their own yet you feel authorized to judge Gary. I sense something closer to home is bothering you, perhaps unfavourable genetics.
@BiodegradeableMan i've been doing weights and have followed the bodybuilding game for over 30 years , heard all the stories , each to their own, heard about the cheats , the so called naturals etc etc
@hunkydaboyz If you think you can get a physique like that simply by using steroids then you're naive. There is nothing ‘natural’ about the supplements most ‘natural’ competitive bodybuilders use. Most ‘natural’ bodybuilders exploit loop holes in the drug testing programmes of their organizations. Most ‘natural’ bodybuilders have used androgenic anabolic steroids at some point and held onto a percentage of their steroid induced gains. Some claim to be natural as they use HGH and not AAS.
@BiodegradeableMan all i meant was , that i'm not a fan of the steroid users, i have more respect for the naturals , sure Strydom and the like had great bods ,but knowing it had something to do with illegal chemicals doesn't impress me
@hunkydaboyz Naw, seen video of this man in his fifties definately without a rug. He always had a good hairline just the usual thinning. Sure he did the centre parting thing and used hair products to give body but he was never a Boyer Coe!

@hunkydaboyz Roids? What argument? Gary used steriods just as they all did at that level. You lost me.
