Are you sure that's Platz? He had bigger, thicker, shorter legs. I am a fan of PLATZ and I have never seen that clip. I'm not so sure it's him.

That isnt platz

it definitely is platz...this video may be from well before his legs really blew up, but you can tell by the shape

I personally think this guy has better calves than Platz...........but the quads are not even close.

That clip is not 25 years old. Platz had freaky legs...at his best in the early 80's. Sorry.........it's not him.

The video is suposed to be a comparison to him....

Look at the equiptment in the back ground. It was not around 25 years ago. Who ever it is has great wheels, but I am willing to bet $ it's not Tom Platz.............no way. His leg structure was shorter and his overall quad thickness (front to back) much greater.

I have looked at the picture in this video and compared it to platz pictures and the shape is nearly identical!

As you can see by the new photo, the video is not Platz. The legs look very close in structure...........but it's not him. Great comparison though.............and Platz did have a freaky jaw.

Not Platz. The end

The way he's posing in that photo accentuates his inner thigh muscles. The guy in the video has identical quad and calf shape.

Your very determined to convince me it's Platz.........it's not, not even close. TRUST ME..............

The dude in the video has great legs but is light years from Platz in the leg department!

Good excuse for someone to post that ultimate owning shot of Plats and Louie.

(and then for 5 or so Louie fans to post pics of lou with big legs)

Man,if you said that in a bar full of the wrong people,not into bodybuilding, they'd beat the shit outta you for sure.

Also,why do we have to look at his gross nutsack? BB can be so fucking tacky,classless and faggy sometimes.

After further review.... I say not Platz.

If it's not Platz, and I don't think it is ... Who is it? Roger Stewart? Belknap, Jeff King?

my guess is could be James Demelo or Frank Hillebrand

Post by: brianX on March 16, 2006, 12:27:53 PM
Platz wasn't nearly as big as people think. He had a tiny frame, and most of his leg mass was in his inner thighs. His quads didn't look THAT big when flexed head on.

Here's another video of Platz. You can clearly see the similarities. He even folds his arms the same way when posing.

I agree, but he did have incredible development and straitions. 

I saw Platz at the 1989 ASC... very tiny guy when off gear.  He looked to be about 5'3"-5'4".

the outer sweep looks way too similar to be someone else

NO WAY!!!  Just because they are a smaller version does not mean that his inner thigh would disappear.

it's platz not at his peak though... calves give it away more than the quads

You know the more I look at it I think maybe, but where did his inner thighs go and why are the veins patterns different?

Post by: Dan-O on March 16, 2006, 07:50:59 PM
I'd bet $100 that it's not Platz in that video.  The calves look the same but the legs are longer and just too different.  I also wondered if it was Roger Stewart.  Who the hell is it, really?  Someone's gotta know.

dude it's tom.... the guy didn't look like he did in the summer of 81 for the entire decade...

When do you think it was? I've seem Tom's legs up close in person after he retired twice and he never lost his inner quad, escpecially when they were that big.

Right, and like you said earlier, the veins are totally different, I noticed that too.  The muscles could get smaller but the veins wouldn't ever change.  It's not Platz for sure.  The guy in the video looks taller and less stocky than Platz.

Post by: tommywishbone on March 16, 2006, 08:06:30 PM
I know I've already said I don't think it's Platz, and after watching the video again, I really don't think it's Tom. The soleus insertion is too high and too small. And as mentioned... his inner thighs were never that small... that I can remember.

Who has absolute proof?  :) Somebody out there does.

Dude, good observasion on the soleus, I thought the same thing.

this is a no brainer...The guy in the video his striated glutes...Something Platz did not have...

Post by: bailey on March 16, 2006, 09:20:52 PM
Not Roger stewart for sure. He trained at my gym in his prime. His quads were not that big. Not even close. He did have however, the same calves. He also never had a striated ass. I know its not Mike francois, but before he flexes the quads look just like his. Same sweep. It's this dude for sure. The guy from those H.D.T ads.

You monkeys that is Tom Platz! Nobody else's legs come close to that or have that exact same shape. Thats an awesome video and I think Tom and I have something in common. We both have huge legs!
Title: Re: short platz legs video
Post by: hardest core on March 16, 2006, 11:54:18 PM
$1000 bet to anyone...........It's NOT Tom Platz

While the guy in the ideo has great calves..........their soleus' are not the same. Their vascularity is different. Tom was much stockier, his quads shorter and thicker. Even after retirement, his legs never "thinned out" and always appeared stocky. He has been one of my favorites since 1980 when I started training.
I'll try to post a comparison.
