Mike Platz??? Huh, never heard of him.
Anyways no, he's too attractive to be a pro.
-
arms are too damn small.

Has no one else heard of this guy? He was a muscletech poster boy a few years ago.

was he even a pro?
i haven't been a fan for eons like most here but i don't remember him even competing. i do remember the ads, i always though he looked better than aaron.

" . . . The summer of 2002 was a season Mike Platz will never forget, At the Canadian National Bodybuilding Championships, Mike flexed and posed his way to overall success. The super-heavyweight not only dominated his class, but he also took the overall title and one of only two pro cards being offered in Canada for the year 2002 . . ."

I remember him from the muscletech ads...I believe he wors for the canadian governemnt.
-
small arms......I'll admit they aren't as big as some of the top guys right now but hes arms aint small.
-
Got into great shape to turn pro,nice shape,was a little bigger before he hit top conditioning to win amateur title,probably wasn't worth coming to do u.s show's and get lost in shuffle.most canadian bber's can't crack the top slot's in america.

We trained at the same gym for a few months. That was the Florida Fitness here in Ottawa. He was a "natty" competitor and turned pro at the Candians I believe. He was living in the East end of Ottawa for a while, not sure about nowadays.

I bet 90% of the guys on this site would give there left nut for a bod like Mikes, they just don't want to admit it as that then shows others a what level they truly are, Mike looks awesome who gives a toss if he could have been a contender or not , he would have looked the best at the beach with all the babes checking him out thats for sure!!

That's why he made all his money pimping out Nitro-Tech and Hydroxycut, not onstage.

fuckin' hell, i'll admit it! i wouldn't even have to be nearly that big. 20 pounds lighter i'd still want that.
-
I think most of us here would freely admit to wanting Mike's physique, but I wouldn't trade a nut for it.

Nah. I'll pass. I know a guy who has one nut and the idea of not having two kinda grosses me out. :(
Mike looks great... but one nut? eeeewww! :-X
-
Come on Whats ONE NUT, shit you could lose it tomorrow jumping over razor wire doing a runner from the feds in a steroid bust, and you still wouldnt look like Mike !!!
So One NUT is fuck all for a bod like Mikes realy, and think of all that pussy, plus you would be unique, and ripped and muscular !!!
perfect !!--- just missing a nut thats all !!!
-
Hot body or not, I plan to keep my nuts and I want my guy to have his too. I don’t mind him having smaller nuts from juicing but he still has to have them.
As I recall, Mike got most of his visibility from those before/after pix in his many Muscletech ads. I prefer the offseason look and always thought he looked better in his “before” pix. :)
-
I trained at the same gym as mike for a while and my cousin worked with him in the government. He trained really light and weired excersises. When you would see him off season he looked huge. Dont know or care what he is up to now
-
how tall is he ? He isn't very tick for a super heavy
-
When no one is looking, he relaxes :)
-
i've been wondering the same thing about him for the last year or so.yes he's from canada and turned pro at the canadian nat's in i believe 2002. i competed at the Can. nat's with him(diff class) in 2000 and '01. the guy has a great build and he should actually have won in '01(IMO) but another freak out of Ontario named Nelson Dasilva came out of nowhere to win.
he looks great but personaly i dont think he would do well as a pro.as everybody knows u have to be a huge freak to do well as a pro these days and Mike is not. hes BIG but not in the same league as coleman,cutler,gunter...etc.
-
no of course not but I like Mikes physique.

you can win the Canadian Nationals with a note from your mother.

All this about pro money and whatnot is a "sideshow" to a lot of bodybuilders. Most that I know that have strived for pro only want the IFBB pro to credit them in owning a gym with a stable of their own trainers or whatnot. I know two dudes that tried hard for pro for like 6 years, one made it and now has a HUGE Gold's gym and a full stable of trainers working for him. The other (who I consider a much better person) never made pro and he owned a gym for a while but it folded. It is really too bad. I saw him at another friend's gym about a year back and he was jacked on juice to the max...unfortunately hes in his mid 30's now and he just finished a show but was unsatisfied with his poor finish. I guess time passed him by. :(
-
As an aside, I also know this other guy that maybe could have been a pro but didn't want to give it all up for that path. He owns 2 high end restaurants in beach cities, a very devoted businessman. Can you say that aint sweet?
-
how tall is he ? He isn't very tick for a super heavy
Height: 6'0
Off Season Weight: 270 lbs.
Competition Weight: 235 lbs.
Where is he? Still training? He had one of the shortest rides in BB history. :-\
