Tom Platz is, was and always will be, the true leg king of bodybuilding.

He really brought his upper body up to match those wheels for the 81 Olympia.

Pretty sure that was many years ago, but he tore I think his biceps (or was it his pec?) and that finished him off for good. His final brush with greatness was definitely '81. After that he just wasn't the same and began to be plagued by injuries.

Tore his bicep doing those rediculous overexagerated dumbell flyes.
