WOW ..GARY STRYDOM: May Be Planning Olympia Comeback!

[COACH]

On the heels of the news that Ronnie Coleman is coming back
to compete in the 2010 Mr. Olympia, we now have been hearing whispers
that Gary Strydom intends on standing on the same stage in
Las Vegas - this year.
Returning to the spotlight is not new for Strydom, 49. He retired in 1992
after winning back-to-back World Bodybuilding Federation titles
and then finished seventh at the 2006 IFBB Colorado Pro.

..yeah bro ..checkout the link:


"Strydom is reportedly planning on entering two qualifying shows with a goal to make the 2009 Mr. Olympia in September. The IFBB schedule shows that the PBW Championships (August 7-8), Europa Super Show (August 15-16), Houston Men’s Pro (August 22) and Atlantic City Pro (September 11-12) are left before the O."

I watched his "Titans" DVD, I think it was filmed back in 2006, before Colorado show and he looked fantastic. Small waist, 100% balanced body... awesome, simply awesome... and he was 47.

He reminds me somehow to Vince Taylor.

I dont think being in the top ten is the main reason why he's making a come back.

exactly!


the guy is my favourite BB, after so many years keep that kind of physique is amazing!

I say see you in Vegas!

Have to say he does look pretty good.

But it is all about mass these days. Maybe if he ate Ronnie he might be able to qualify.

things are changing Tim.. remember that Dexter in Mr.O ( ok he carries a lot of mass.. but jay carries more ) and Troy Alves winning Europa this year.

BB with good lines are the future.

Why not show that at 47+ you can still do it!"

there's some minor shows that I think he could qualify!

 

[tkD]

Well, i hope he will qualify for the O..

Good point. It will give his career a boost.

He looks awesome - especially for his age.

They should bring back the Masters Olympia.

They should bring back the Masters Olympia.

I agree 100% with that one. I was talking about that the other day. Not sure on what it would be to qualify for master (age?, over 40?) but there would be a lot of great names in the mix.

 

[Essensen]

They should bring back the Masters Olympia.

Ye, but they won't since there's not enough profit in it

 

[Big_Guns_Lance]

He looks great and I hope he does qualify for the O. He's got an awesome midsection.
