Cover Story
Gary Strydom looks super on this month’s cover (a Michael Neveux photograph). After his fifth-place win at the Mr. Olympia in ultraripped condition, it’s obvious Gary can change his appearance faster than Clark Kent. For more on Gary, turn to page 84. (Airbrush make-up design by Dennis Hoey for Zenobia, LA).
