Apr 16, 2012 - Strydom always looked great, but his double biceps shot was really weak for bodybuilding standards....Best quote I heard from Gary in a magazine " I don't train this hard just to walk around the mall with a tight T-shirt on". I think guys from this era looked the best. Guys now just look ridiculous.
