So what's up with all these washed up bodybuilders using 3 sizes too big suits? Looks goofy like the old zoot suits.

Respect to this man. 

95% of you on here won't be training at all, let alone doing squats with 315 when you're 61 years old.

That's actually a very good interview. I like Palumbo's way of talking to his guests, he does that very well.
Never was a fan of Platz, but here he comes across as smart and very positive

Nice retro vintage clothing, great to see Danny Padilla involved and looking fantastic!

Apparently when he does squat it's on the Smith Machine.  From the comments section:

I train at the same gym where Tom Platz does.  He doesn't squat much at all.  And when he does he uses smith machine. He's on the leg press and leg extension mostly.  He's a nice guy.

I'm not surprised, bodybuilders are by default pathological liars. They lie about everything from drug protocols to training regiments, supplementation and diets.

 :D

Sad part is that by using that suit, you can't take him seriously. It's like listening to a kid playing grownup who just raided daddy's suit wardrobe.  ;D

Seems to work for him.

I train very similar in the intensity Department.
All out.   ;)

Dude, he had some of the strongest legs of all time and even challenged professional weightlifters. He was able to squat 315 for 60 reps in his prime and 525 for 23 reps, so STFU.

Tom is a hugely inspirational guy. Lives life with the enthusiasm of a child.

That was thirty years ago when he did 525 for 23 reps.
What's he weigh now? 150?  Maybe. 315 for 15?  Nope

I'm not far off Tom's age
I can manage 315 for 10/12 reps full reps on back squats
And 6/8 on front squats.
So I believe Tom would be Well capable of that.
