Perfect Form my ass.  I'm surprised he isn't banged up worse than Ronnie.

One of the biggest charlatans in BB. It's really mindblowing his knees are still ok. Great genetics i guess.

Embarrassing

The reason Tom Platz looked like he did was roids and probably he was one of the first GH users

All those excercises are ridiculous and futile

Tom and his wife are absolute nutjobs. If everyone knew how petty and pathetic they are, you’d feel nothing but contempt for them.

It’s mandatory to be a nutjob when you’re not clean for 20 years straight. But hey, he’s hardcore  ::)

I liked Tom’s Physique & There’s a good case for him winning the Olympia in 81.
His mental attitude & approach seemed damn good.
The Same Cannot Be Said About His Training Style !!
He Must’ve been born with Titanium Joint & Super Strong Tendons & Ligaments !!

He still did 500 for 23. Each rep was perfect too.

No Hate from Me.

Watching that “Training Montage” I know I’d not want to try that style for long
Even when I was a lot younger.
It worked for him & other than the Bicep tear he appears relatively injury Free.
Good For Him.
One of the All Time Greats.

These were all forced reps at the end of his sets. The guy who put up the video needs to post his own pics for comparison.

You don’t have to be in shape to put someone down with a destructive approach to training.

looking at that video and keeping in mind other videos about his training
it looks as though for his legs he had vicious heavy duty work ethic AND rather correct or full range stable motion
whereas for upper body it looks like he tries to emulate similar intensity but he's faking/swinging everything

knowing he was and still is a master at leg training, i wonder if his "inferior" upper body is the result of his sloppy training or whether the 'sloppy training meme' is a result of him masking inferior upper body characteristics.

fwiw TP is regarded as one of the if not the most hardcore B to the W intensity training athlete in oldschool bb
one of few with excellent mentor skills

His lower body was bigger because of genetics.  He trained his upper body balls to the wall and even tore a bicep training his upper body.  If he wanted to do better for his symmetry he should have just cut way back on leg training.

Him and the wife are weirdos. But he a legend and Im sure he could sell 1980s era soiled under wear and make some decent money so I will leave it at that.

His arms and chest didn't improve much.  But his jaw and legs grew exponentially.

Based on the young picture who would have guessed this guy would be known for leg development.

Tom’s a legend and he was always nice to me, but I’ve come to realize his training methods (and masochistic effort/“intensity”) are largely idiotic.

As a much younger man I thought it was cool.  ::)

I’ve worked out with Tom and can say with full confidence it was drugs and youth that allowed him to progress DESPITE a great deal of the nonsense in which he engaged.

Of course, he tore his one biceps to all shit, and his decision to retire likely saved the rest of his physical self. The injuries more than likely would have come fast and furious if he’d continued.

And let’s not forget his heart attack. Huge doses of Deca?

Oh, and it’s true re: his wife. With her, the two have veered into nutso territory. My last few communications with them (about a decade ago) were OUT there.

His legs were his claim to fame. He was short, and his upper body no match for the top builders.
Lucky for him he could get his hands on GH before the rest was able to (or it was too expensive for them)

Cool - That you’ve trained with Tom certainly gives you a great insight
And that’s very interesting- As he’s a Legend.
The extreme & sloppy training style worked for him - only likely would’ve destroyed
Most other humans !!

I wasn’t aware he’d had a heart attack - When was that ?

And from what little I’ve seen / read about Tom & his Wife they certainly appear to
Have gone more than a Little Strange.

Yes, if he cut back on leg training and allowed them to shrink down to his upper body size he never would have become a pro to start with.  After becoming a pro I think he made more money than any other bodybuilder for years even after he retired by just doing seminars.
