Totally agree with you Lee. I don't understand this huge 40+ inch gut and bald head alot of the pros sport today.Your build is still tight, though I think your upper body is getting to big.But you still have a small waist when you are in shape.Do you think you will go bald before your 40  from your use of the sauce.

Damn the song on the video makes me want to put on Rocky 4 and watch it...Platz was f'king amazing...I use to read about him training his wheels so hard on the hack squat machine that he would have his workout partners pick him up and place him back in the machine on his ending sets because he couldn't walk on his own...Damn Monster!!!!

I saw Platz training at World Gym in Columbus back in 1989. He was doing a set of donkey calf raises and I swear, his one set must have taken at least 4-5 minutes.  It was amazing the amount of intensity he could generate

guy was insane in the gym from what i heard...but he took it too far...it isnt necessary to do the things he did..sure work hard but use your brain too...

that was just awsome.  the intesity on Tom's face when he's posing inthe mirror before the 80 olympia with Samir is just cool as hell.  Tom's just an inspirational guy, nobody tried harder...ever.  Not even Gaspari or Dorian, Tom would roll around on broken heated up glass if he thought it would give him a better shot at winning.  I like the song too.   Love the scene where he's squatting like 495 like it's nothing...how many reps did he get with that?

Just great.

I totally agree-the BB'ers looked more masculine & healthy.
