damn those are some freaky legs...... Nobody was even close to that back then. Platz was tight. That leg shot is freaky.

legs, as always, unbelievable, but his upper body really does pale by comparison. it's like the legs just ate everything up. pity.

he's also not shredded which has not helped his cause. if he had less water his physique would have looked more freaky overall, probably more balanced too because the waist and legs would have come down a bit and the all important abs would have tied everything together better.

Huge legs and symmetrical front. I'm surprised many haven't built legs like his. So many have come close, but not many have reached his size.

arguably bigger than platz...

but nowhere near as impressive from every angle like Platz's were, Tom also had that freaky development at the top of the leg where it ties in to the hip that no one seems to have.

Ronnie has calves, but Platz and DeMayo had bulls.
