The shoes in the last pic are classic. Are those Roos?
-
Coleman had more impressive legs then Platz.
The only reason it looks more impressive on Platz is because his upper body was Lagging alot.

No doubt, i wonder what he did to get them that much better than everybody else
or if it was just genetic

Exactly, Tom has AMAZING legs, but people should stop being ignorant because they are dudes today with VERY comparable legs.

Damn - that's probably the best pic of Fankhouser I've seen.
Shame Platz couldn't match his upper body to his leg development - that would have been an easy Olympia win if so.

You have to consider the years Tom was in having these big legs 82 maybe ::). If it was TODAY and Tom had his youth again, there wouldnt be a chance for anybody else.
-
That Fankhouser pic is soo shopped. His quads are not that big. I can't believe the getbig elite did not notice this. Sorry, but shopped!!!!

to this day, nobody except De Mayo has come close. Not even Branch. The sheer mass, the cuts, shape, sweep was mind-boggling

Iwould say Branch has surpassed him, so did Kai, Mustafa and few others.
Platz's abductors where unique though.

As sheer lumps of meat, yes, some have achieved more size, but from a bbing perspective, the visual impact of the whole lower body combo he had, he's on a diff league.
Many guys, as you said Branch, Mustafa, etc have surpassed in size, but they dont make you go WOW! WTF? :o , they're just guys with huge quads.
IMO...

Well, since you put forth such a valid & strong argument... ;D

IMO Demayo had better legs. Platz was shorter which gives his muscles a more compact look.

Kai's quads have a funny shape. Conditioning is amazing though.

DEMAYO had great actually incredible legs at 18/19 already and upperbody ,platz was smaller at that age there are pics of his legs early on.he worked for them,platz came from different era and competed at high level longer,demayo only made 1 mr o apperance shame.

you have to consider, Tom was actually trying to bring DOWN his legs to make his body proportional, everybody nowadays is trying to get them as huge as possible. So for Tom to be a good match 20+ years later while he was going for smaller legs (by only squatting once a month, or switching to hack squats, etc) to guys that squat every week to get the biggest legs on stage, I say is damn impressive.

Exactly right,and the thing to consider is the pic you posted on the previous page of Tom in the 81 Olympia is from 28 years ago,and yet still today no-one has legs as good as that.

Hey Steve,
What did you do for legs in the beginning?
What do you do now?

Hey Steve,

Creatine and Aminos.

Creatine and Aminos.
Thanks bro, but I meant training

Hey Steve,
What did you do for legs in the beginning?
What do you do now?
At the very beginning (1999-2001) just squats, leg press, stiff leg deadlifts and sometimes lunges...because I didn't have the opportunity to did the other exercises with machines.
Then I still did squats and leg press in one workout (2002-2006) with as much weight as possible and then did 3-4 other exercises (at least two for hams).
But since 2006 I didn't use heavy weights with low reps anymore. My legs are a bit smaller now but once I start to use heavy weight again (as I did it last year) my legs gets bigger with 1-1.5 inch... But I don't need bigger legs. I need better legs. So now I'm doing at least 5 exercises per workout with 10-30 reps in each set.

Thanks. No, you dont need bigger legs...
It goes without saying you train legs hard, but then again you obviously have the genes for big legs, how do you balance the training now, so your upper body doesnt lag behind?

I think my upper body is still worse than my legs but I do everything to reach the balance one day. ;)
