tom platz training techniques

[blackbillions]

did tom platz train his entire body with the same intensity that he trained his legs?

do you think the reason he trained his legs so hard was partly psychological(he knew his legs were his best body parts so he trined them harder)

was his pain threshold for training his legs genetic or do you think we can all put in that type of effort or is it a bad idea to try?

[Figo]

yes

AHAHAHAHA

Its a little known fact that Ferrigno was directly involved in Platz's success in developing his quads to their max. In above pic Lou is clearly advising Tom on what he needs to work on, and how.

1. Yes
2. No, he had sucky legs growing up and when he went to thay gym in michagan, the olympic squatters there made him squat hard. 135 was welded onto the bar.
3. Anybody can train hard.

Ironically the best quads ever came with a guy who had a very average upper body!!..

tom had no limitations to pain,resistance threshold to his legs and receptors slow/fast twitch fibers were tapped full of grade a muscle,the rest of him say arms had less and no matter how many super sets,drops,negatives totally different response.he was a trainer's trainer tho and was intense i will give him that.

I read before that he once squatted for 10 minutes continuously using his body weight only!!.. but aside of his hard legs workouts I am still sure he reached this level with his quads mainly because of his upnormal genetics in this area.. any other serious pro. with the same genetics in his quads would achieve the same thing.. 

Imagine if he came in the current years!!  we would have seen unbelievable legs, above anyone’s expectations!!..

hearsay is only what i'm going on there were stories eating pizza before training,squatting 315 till passing out blood on neck ,then snap two and continue on and on.

Crazy genetics plus a lot of hard work and little ergognic help.......

"but aside of his hard legs workouts I am still sure he reached this level with his quads mainly because of his upnormal genetics in this area.."

upnormal?? Try abnormal. It's a real word.

For some one like you of course he had a great upper body but I am comparing him to the other top pros of his time he was not at the same level.. and also his great lower body overshadowed his upper body.. he still had a great back but his arms and shoulders were relatively small.. check this picture?..
when I first saw his pictures I was very young (I was about 14 years old) and I had not experience at all to judge bodies but I noticed that there was something wrong in his structure, something weak in his upper body that didn’t go right with his HUGE and detailed quads!!..

this means the loaded weight on his legs was about 112.5 pounds??
