Damn, never saw these guest posting pics of a very heavy Tom Platz from 1987 (arguably 6 years past his best showing ever).

He also looked really great here. Not sure what year this was? (it's not 1980-1982)

Best video ever. When Kaz raises his arm like that you know it's impressive.

One of the most impressive feats ever done by a bodybuilder. Form, strength and conditioning.

Craiggers looks great there!

Way off his best there... torn bi ended his chances five years before this.

That right arm is a mess:

Yup,once he tore his biceps,he was toast as far as contests were concerned.

Imagine how many more he could have squeezed out if he was wearing knee wraps?

Jamaal · « **Reply #15 on:** March 01, 2017, 04:12:30 PM »

His arms must've been one of the proportionally smallest amongst IFBB pros

Rudee · « **Reply #16 on:** March 01, 2017, 04:14:41 PM »

Imagine how more massive those legs would be on today's typical drug regimen.

Jamaal · « **Reply #17 on:** March 01, 2017, 04:15:39 PM »

If not more massive, imagine the striations...

shitty arms; blocky waist. Tim Belnap on steroids.

Yet Chris Dickerson won the 1982 Mr. Olympia with a torn bicep the same year Tom's was torn and Tom (aside from this torn bicep) was in incredible shape in 1982 (slightly below 1981's shape). Here is Tom in 1982. Also, remember, how many Mr. O's did Dorian win with a torn bicep?

Tom indeed was selling high-end cars several years back. Now, I don't know. Been a while since him and I spoke.

Platz is a passionate guy who bleeds his pursuits. Spirited and gracious fella.

He has suffered some heart issues, I know.

All the best to Tom. He's always been very friendly and accommodating towards me.

By all accounts from so many he was one of the hardest trainers in the gym. Like all of them off the juice he looks less than average without the assist.

I actually watched this live while sitting on my fathers neck.

You were motivation for him.
