Question - Tom Platz had tremendous legs no doubt, maybe the best legs ever. Why could he not get his upper body to match the legs? Was it that he didnt train upper body as intensely or was it Genetics? By the way his legs are still unmatched even today.
-
his legs ARE matched, its just that his upper body was so relativly small so they looked even bigger, and yes, all genetic

Are you saying Platz should have backed off his legs and concentrated more on upper body? My question his he trained legs very intensely did that take away from his upper body development? Just think if he had the upper body to match his legs :o

Yes Genetics, the closest Tom got to some sort of balance was 1981 O where he had improved his upper-body alot but still not on par with his massive quads

So genetics is the rule it seems, so in all muscle mags why do they state that everyone can be Mr O if they train hard enough?

He looked his best by far in 1981 before he torn his right biceps in 1982...

these beach pics were famous posters...
-
tom was pretty narrow naturally but in 81 he had the thickness to look good...
-

After the bicep tear he never recovered. Now why are bicep tears so common with the pros? Is it bad exercise form or the roids making them stronger than the muscle tissue or both?

Tom trained me for a while. He hit everything with a kind of mad intensity. Upper body just didn't respond as well.

Seemed in videos I have seen he used lighter weights for upper body compared to leg training maybe he couldnt do the weight which may have contributed to less size upper body

that could be the case. I just remember watching vids in his office before we would go squat(which, with the exception of one time when we did curls, was the ONLY thing we ever did) and being in total disbelief over his near insane intensity. The honest truth is that I have always been the hardest training guy at whatever gym I went to...but he buried me.

Exactly no matter what he did that upper body wasn't going to be like the lower

His legs are all genetics. Pictures are pictures, I have been looking for videos of his legs but I cant find any video where his legs look better than any of the pros today.
Picture are picture...everyone can look world class in right lightning standing alone. I think he´s legs are a bit overrated. Best in history, come on! ::)

Sorry game over

overrated? stupid statement among the best in history? absolutely
in contests he scaled back his leg training even stopped squatting to try and balance things out so you wont see his best ever legs on-stage per-sa
-

Ok! So he made his legs worse so he both had a weak uperbody and weak legs at competition day, great job!
I don't believe your theory! :)

His legs weren't worse , just scaled down and his upper body wasn't ' weak ' it was not on par with his legs
And I don't care if you believe my theory it's a fact , his upper body was thick as hell but his legs overpowered everything

What ND says is true,because of the criticism of his lower body dwarfing his upper body he stopped training his legs for contests.But he also believed that the best way to make the upper body grow was from squats,that the body produced more growth hormone from heavy squatting.Kind of a catch 22 for him.

There you go squats make the overall body respond.

he has amazing genetics in his lower body especially his quads and weak genetics in his arms and shoulders.. good back and chest.. if he had good (just good) arms and shoulders he would have been mr. olympia no doubt!!.. same as matrazo whose calves are from the very best ever and his biceps are great (size wise) but the rest of him is very average with a lot of flaws!!..
so imo it's all genetics because any gym rate knows well how to train each part well so what about pros.??.. definitely he was training his weak parts as hard as his lower body IF NOT HARDER!!..
-
I was disappointed when I learned that Platz basically trained the legs like any other guy, once a week and all of that, but he did it with greater intensity.

No hating (I would never do such a thing when bodybuilding is conserned) but didn't he wear a jeans in one interview and his legs looked completely "normal" with jeans on.

Are you retarded? I mean seriously. I'm not even joking. Your initial post is ridiculous. Your asking why he never built this upper body to match his legs??? WTF??????? DUDE, he has the largest and most cut legs in the history of the sport and you're wondering why his upper body didn't match. So you're weighing the option that maybe if Tom trained his upper body harder than he would also have the LARGEST and most CUT upper body to match his lower body??? Is this making sense kid? Is this getting through to you????
Now, to answer your ABOVE statement, which is even more perplexing than your post. Now you're asking people why magazines state that everyone can be a Mr. O if they trained hard??? You're like a fat chick who says but the vogue magazines say if I diet then I will be a super model...
Why do you ask so many fucking questions and why do they have to all be so stupid???
Sorry, but you've been doing this for a long time now and no one seems to have picked up on it and I really can't let it slide any longer..

You see what I mean. EVERY post of yours is either a question that is OVER THE TOP OBVIOUS, or you kiss people's asses on here... You're like curious george with a 45 IQ that was sheltered his whole life and is star struck by celebrities like ND and Hulkster. ::) ::) ::) ::) ::)

Here's a NON-Question post where you're sucking up. It bounces back between asking obvious questions that we ALL have the answer to and then when you get people's attention you shower them with compliments and praise... Just plain weird.

Another question....

I guess it's just been building up in me. He's been doing this for a long time. At least if he asked challenging questions then I would be okay, well, he's just a curious guy, but all he does is ask question after question to some of the most BASIC and SIMPLE things that a child can answer and he seems to be so GRATEFUL when guys like yourself or ND answer the question and then he'll ask another one. Almost as a means to make others feel smart when he praises them for answering the questions. I mean what's to gain? Clearly not knowledge.

No , no he's a trouble maker , and instigator he likes to stir the pot ;D
-
Platz was very wise to let his legs get to the cartoonish extreme that they did. It is what set him apart, and gave him a distinctive look. He never would have seen the success he did, if he had tried to undertrain them in an effort to be more proportional.
-
No , no he's a trouble maker , and instigator he likes to stir the pot ;D
yes he never envolves himslef in any fight, he pushes both sides of any argument to attack each other and after achieving his goal he keeps watching.. and you find him always a friend of both sides ;D..
he does this for fun and i find him funny..
