greatest quads ever, without question.

Tom trained at the original World Gym back in the early 80's when I was there. I remember there was this girl who would occasionally come to the gym and she could make any garment (shirts, pants, jackets etc.) that you wanted. She would take your measurements and you could look through catalogs she had and pick out anything you wanted made and she would make them to your specs. You could pick out any designer name and she would make it exactly like that out of the same material and everything. If I recall right it was $20 for a shirt and $25 for pants or something like that. But that was cool.

That's pretty cool. I can't imagine having wheels the size of Tom's and trying to find pants to fit them in.....

Do you think Paul Demayo, Trey Brewer, Vic Richards, Branch Warren or Paco Batista have matched the thighs of Platz in his prime?
-
That would have been very cool to train at the same gym as Tom Plats.Yes it must of been hard for Tom finding pants because the size of his massvie quads.

No.

No.
Several guys have monster legs, but none of them have the quality of Platz.
-
I would say no as well.
-

Me neither. I've only seen pictures and a few videos but Platz legs are still something else. They're big and balanced at the same time. Branch Warren could be a good runner-up.

Since we are talking about Tom, does anyone know what happened to him in 1995 and 2001?
I read somewhere that he faced serious health issues, but no details were provided. Just curious...

"genetics" :D

Well, I always wondered how his heart could actually survive all those years of completely insane legs routines combined with juice.
-
I feel that Phill Hill & DeMayo had better legs
Ian Harrison maybe too.
-
hahaha my leggs look like the before shot.

Squatting 135 for reps, you my friend, are a true beast.
-
hahaha my upperbody look like the before shot.

This pic was taken at World Gym Santa Monica.

I think Paul DeMayo is in the same league.
Better than Tom?? No, but in the same boat.
Pay special attention to seconds 20-60....... These can hang with Platz any day of the week.
-
i'd put Mustafa Mohammad, Jeff King and Tim Belknap on any great legs list as well.
-
proportionately Mustafa's in his prime were just as big if not bigger but were never quite the overall quality. no one had the sweep he did
-
ummmmm, why in the hell is DeMayo working out in bare feet?
-
ummmmm, why in the hell is DeMayo working out in bare feet?
that was his secret to hyooge legs

That was one of those muscle video shows, like what Shawn Ray did on ESPN, right before a show, Paul looked great...

Not smart. If anyone has ever dropped a 45# plate on their toe, they know the pain...
-
I can recall the first time that saw photos of Tom Platz quads I was thinking holly shit those quads are massive.I would rate Platzs quads having the best quads in this sport along with Demayo and Musfas quads as well.

My brother had that problem. He is 6'6" and when he played football weighed 330 lbs. His thighs were exactly 36". He had to have his pants made or bougth giant ones and brought them in.
I remember watching Platz work his legs so hard he couldn't stand after the set and he had two guys there to help him to the bench to sit down.

Man was that gay.
