Coleman quads aren't close to Platz's in any fashion.  Except they are darker.  No one has the all-round size, separation and fullness as Platz.  Just incredible.  And taken into account they were mostly made from heavy lifting and didn't count on as much drugs as the guys of today.  Platz had huge legs all his life.

In a nutshell; Keith's pretty much seen it all in person. Platz was drier, more separation, more striations and bigger relative to height. Coleman's are huge but still not as big relative to his size, and when he got heavier he lost a lot of detail and the legs got loose. When he was lighter the thighs had much better quality but he was even farther away from Platz then in terms of size, and was newer bone-dry like Platz. Even when he was completely shredded one of Coleman's few shortcomings was lack of complete dryness. In part the drugs, most BBs from the 70s were drier, and Coleman in particular.

Still not as big relative to height, loses on aesthetics and still some water compared to Platz.

Best legs, yes.  Best quads, NO.  Ronnie has the best quads. 

Platz has the best hamstrings, by far.  Matarazzo, Dorian had better calves.  But best legs, all parts considered is Platz, by far. 

Exactly. I think Ronnie has the best quads, not legs. Just my opinion. His calves are not that great. A 300 pound Ronnie with quads that are seperated, ripped, great quad sweep and big as tree trunks.

Platz has great thighs as well, don't get me wrong. It's personal preference I guess.

  As for absolute size, I will have to go with either Coleman in his 2003/4 versions or Jean-Pierre Fux. Actually, Fux seemed to have quads that were as big as Coleman in his 280+ lbs form, but with better separations and a roundr shape.

  As for the best quad of all times, that's a tough one. Methinks either Paul DeMayo or Benffato the best overral legs to me in terms of symmetrical development as well as aesthetically. Platz's legs were amazing except for you thing: they're stumpish, and I don't like that.

What does that have to do with anything? Another stupid statement ::)

SUCKY again gets all of it wrong. ::) ::) ::)

DeMayo was great but no one would put his legs ahead of Platz.

Platz's legs "stumpish" LOL you really don't get it - he wasn't short and didn't have short limbs, it was just the sheer size, bigger relative to structure than Coleman, in addition to better dryness, sharpness and aesthetics.

  Platz is 5'8 and by stumpish I mean that his legs are short. A guy can be 7' and have stumpish legs if they legs are short in relation to his height.

His legs weren't short, as proven here. Proportionate to the upper body in terms of structure, and he wasn't 5'2". It was just the size that might've fooled someone.

Ronnie's quads at his best matched his upper body much better than tom's.

Toms were way way too big for his upper body.

ronnie's didn't have this problem until 2004.

huckster, you are trully the worst guy of all time.

the only people who think ronnie's quads are better than platz are the same cocksuckers on the other thread who also think ronnie has the best everything (except abs and calves) of all time.

sad and pathetic.

like i said, in every bodypart poll published in every magazine, ronnie never wins.

not even for biceps.

IceCold, take note of this...

you think we are all nuts but we are actually 100% correct in what we say over on the other thread.

many people feel that ronnie's quads (at his best) have surpassed toms.

its not the 1970's anymore.

amusing how you say many.

the only people are you, iceman, and neo indian, - the most extreme nuthuggers of all time.

Platz is the last word for decades now, making the thread pointless.

When Coleman was leaner and lighter the thighs were great but even then Platz's thighs are ridiculous, too much for anyone. For more relative size than even Coleman. Also Most of Ron's career now he's been heavier the thighs got too big and he didn't focus enough on keeping them refined, IMO. Early on he looked great but even then Platz's thighs are so crazy, the degree of striations, ridiculous size, perfect shape & aesthetics, and better dryness than Coleman. And  Platz's calves were better. Ron also never had the degree of insane striations & dryness Platz had even on his hams.

for once, we agree.

Good God you talk some shit about Ronnie.  His quads are enormous, yes - and World-class - but they are also oddly formed and offset by non-proportional lower-legs.  Platz was something else, and Ronnie can't touch him in this area.

pass on the crack pipe ::)

Platz legs are still the best, even today.

He has not been surpassed yet.

did you not read the the posts on this thread agreeing that ronnie's quads were better?

or do you not read information that makes you look like an idiot? ::)

ps I can find dozens and dozens of people in agreement with this on ANY bodybuilding message board..

just log in and do a search.

for the last time, YOU MAY NOT AGREE THAT RONNIE'S QUADS ARE BETTER BUT MANY PEOPLE DO. and thats the point I am making.

read this statement again until it gets through your neanderthal thick skull.
