CHARLES POLIQUIN: "SPEED SKATERS MAKE TOM PLATZ'S LEGS LOOK LIKE WOODY ALLENS"
« on: November 04, 2008, 03:22:28 AM »
yet another gem from everyone's favorite coach, Charles LOLiquin:


""However, there's some evidence to suggest that the leg press might result in more hypertrophy of the quadriceps. One study showed that for the same number of reps, the leg press resulted in a higher amount of GH being produced than squats. As possible evidence, the leg press is the exercise of choice when it comes to speed skating, and I've personally worked with speed skaters whose legs made Tom Platz's look like Woody Allen's. While I'm loathe to recommend leg presses instead of squats, I merely present it as an interesting discussion point.""

I AM SURE YOU HAVE, CHARLES!

Ive watched a video on youtube of Some fitness guru saying that Arnold personally told him that Chin-ups are the "only" way to add good mass to the arms.

Looks like Arnold was bullshiting for the hell of it again  ;D

Speedskaaters legs sure seem to be big, comparing to their upper bodies.

In reality, nowhere near BB legs.

Charles Poliquin disagrees.

In fact he'd probably call you fat and skinny too. If you're more than 10% BF you're fat in his books. And of course you're never strong or big enough.

Maybe I should call up Poliquin. It should only take 5-6 weeks or so.

To be fair, you have to look at the 500 m speedskaters. Beyond that distance, the effort becomes increasingly aerobic.

I met Eric Heiden in 1981. You would not believe how big he was. Pictures are very deceptive. He had a big upperbody as well as lower. I would guess his quads were well over 28 inches, maybe up to 30. I thought I was standing next to a clydesdale. Check out this link on his training: http://www.t-nation.com/readArticle.do;jsessionid=48A9BAFC0990C4A9513EA25D3B65A51A.hydra?id=1748139

I have also stood next to Pete Grymkowski and Danny Padilla. Eric was easily as big as Grymkowski in the leg department and  probably bigger.

What makes the pictures not look comparable is the overall development of Platz's legs in each particular muscle group. But Platz was not so big compared to other bodybuilders. Check this photo from the 78 Mr Universe competition (its the biggest version I could find)

Doesn't matter, Platz's were still much bigger than the speedskaters.

Hatfield, who trained tom platz (i believe around 84-85) sighed at poliquins statement. He said it was not even remotely possible (the scenario of speedskaters having comparable leg development), and let's not forget hatfield has trained lots of speed skaters.
