Author Topic: Tom Platz making a comeback. (Read 20212 times)

Just heard about an interview that happened by the "golden Eagle" himself that he is definitely thinking about making a comeback this year at the age of 53.

part of the interview:
Q: You retired from pro bodybuilding competitions in 1987 but did a 'Comeback' in 1995 and you were awarded Honorary Mr. America. Any plans for making another comeback?

A: Yes actually I am. I've actually been thinking about this for two years now, but next year 2009, I'm seriously considering making a comeback. It's not something that just happens in your mind, it's more than that. I still have that same passion as I did when I was nine. When I saw the most recent Rocky film that came out about two years ago and he said that line "I think there's something still left in the basement" I could relate to it and it inspired me.

great news, interesting development.

Making a comeback at such an age is both dangerous and irresponsible.

Yes, a comeback= time to start using drugs again.

I could understand it if Tom was going the 'health route'. However, with all 'former drug users' they will rationalize any situation if it means taking drugs again!

Had a gutful of these pathetic drug abusers!

Looks like someone's pulling out all stops to take out the last place in all the third tier pro contests - epic confessing to having a brutal mid-life crisis $:-\$

Perfect Squats

descent is too fast, and there's a bit of bouncing.

Please by all means, show me a video that the squats goes this deep and what your talking about.

A Rocky movie inspired him for a come back? I mean, he couldn't come up with a better reason?!

New Hank Wood · « **Reply #9 on:** April 02, 2009, 04:35:45 PM »

Just another short man who still has not come to terms with the skin he is in !

Short Tom needs to start growing up....He sounds like an inadequate and insecure adolescent....He is in his 50's FFS!

He is going down too fast, and he does bounce on some reps. that's all I'm saying. his depth is perfect, but his form is not.

Translation: I can finally afford to get back on the sauce.

What a child! A 50-something loser.

Jesus Christ, these roided midgets never fail to surprise.

It is the same old shit with these types. Trying to live-out some misguided dream through a vial and syringe.

Yes, being dwarf-like with short and stumpy limbs is in deed a curse!

You have lost your edge, Hank - your posts are no longer as scathing as they once were. Maybe it's just that your act has gotten stale cause you don't change your style one bit. Carry on and try harder. If you want, I'll channel you and make you look better

Tom Platz never has to attempt to sound hardcore. He IS hardcore. He invented hardcore. Hank you just suck sometimes
