lmao that pic made me laugh

The reason that platz is small is because he had surgery a few years back and stopped training. Plus he follows his wifes weird diet plan. He only started training again recently. So if anybody sees him at the arnold classic, he should look better.

I think he had a heart attack a while back. His structure is very light which is why he looks so small off drugs.

I'd pay good money for extensive footage of him training at his peak. A shame it wasn't documented more on video.

visit his website and buy the dvds that  cost around 200 bucks. A lot of footage is him training in the early 80s.

He looks like a super lean older man.. pffft, "looks like death warmed over"... ever seen anyone that actually looks like that?  Go take a tour of a cancer clinic or have a good look at someone with end stage liver failure.  Now thats being in bad shape!

Won't he be about 54?

Anyway, he was all abs and thighs, was never known for anything else.

He was 120lbs before he began training. Most BBs are kinda slender before they hit the gym.

said he was the most disappointing bbuilder ever. Hit 12 poses and left. Saying he always leaves them wanting nore.

Also said he was a midget, like i mean real small and that his arms could not have been more than 16.5"

he said he was always playing with his hari and was very disappointed in him

Sounds like he's bitter that he had to pay a top pro big money for an appearance, and due to his poor marketing skills/event planning, did not get the revenue he expected. And he was jealous of his hair.
I've heard the opposite.

no.

ic was freidnly with bill pearl, reg park, he trained bill richardson etc

has tons of cool stories. Just said that tom platz was very disappointing. He also said lou ferrigno was shrewd to deal with, lucky for him he neer had to.

but above all he rated bill pearl as the nicest man ever and huge and insanely strong

If there's any shrewd business going on around Louie, it must be his management, Huey and Dewey, behind it.

An ex-girlfriend of mine had dinner with Tom Platz once, sometime in the first half of the Eighties.

She still had a T-shirt he gave her, featuring his face and some 'eagle' wings, and the above-and-below legend Tom Platz... Mr Universe.

I think the guy deserved to take the O just once, but hey. Maybe he couldn't bring himself to shove his head up Joe Weider's asspipe, like one or two others.

A dozen people  :o, well each to their own...

After his bicep tear things were pretty much done for him, he hid it well in his posing, and I think thats when he started using briefer posing routines, but the damage was done.
Probably did the best out of all his contemporaries from guest posing/seminars. I think he competed against 6 different Mr O's in his time, and was always a threat.
Title: Re: Tom Platz looking skinny
Post by: DAMY on January 14, 2009, 01:32:12 AM
Cheers Figo.

That teen pic of Platz posing, it appears at that time he was focussing his training upon upper body, as many guys do to begin with.

But I think you can see the potential in those legs, even then. Like Larry Scott, I think Platz wasn't blessed with wide shoulders or large clavicles. Didn't matter so much in Scott's day.

But like Scott before him, he made the most of his shoulders by building cannonball delts.

Arnold had shitty-looking sloping traps. That's what I think. But he too hit the delts to draw the eye.

After all, as has been said many times, illusion is a big part of BBing.

Platz & Gaspari were intense. They motivated and gave hope to the "hardgainers" back in the day. Both were not naturally wide, and had blocky structures, but overcame genetic "flaws" through sheer hard work, massive amounts of anadrol, dbol, deca, test & later gh.
Great inspiration.
