That is a fucking PERFECT rock bottom squat!

I would like to see how big Tom's legs are today.

Lee Priest said he did legs with Tom a few months back and they both hit 315 for reps, and then Tom went up to 405........based on the first pic I don't see Tom doing 405 at age 53 at what looks like about a buck 80.

Tom PLatz is a legend - best legs in history. Only Paul DeMayo ever came close to resembling that sort of development.

Yes, but those two shots of Platz could not be from 82...he was much better conditioned...no?

82 year of the career ending biceps injury...so sad...after the spectacular performance a year prior when they gave it to a one legged Franco with gyno..all the hype around Platz....and then the rumour of his injury...only confirmed in London, damn near cried...where Dickersons elbows won the day...Happy Birthday Tom

"Zanes" legs look pathetic there. 1/3 size of Toms.

But, overall Zane was much superior to Platz as a champion.

BALANCE=Zane
