Nasser should definitely be up in the top 5 list.

thats a real mistake not to have him up there.

Ronnie's quads are larger and more separated than Platz's and are therefore superior, albeit not by much.  Notwithstanding calves, Ronnie had the best legs ever imo.

I'd say Kai or Wolf has the best quads of today's competitors.  Kai has crazy striations and Wolf has unreal sweep (but awful calves)

but if platz and ronnie both came in the same time, platz's quads would have been bigger!!.. so if you put the time difference in mind, platz is the winner..

Platz's legs are better. If you're talking specifically quadriceps - vastus muscles, rectus femoris - maybe Ronnie wins. It's questionable, Platz had better fullness and sweep. But when it comes to the adductor muscles, sartorius, hamstrings, calves it's Platz all day.

i've never seen those pics. Platz still showing great legs at 53. Are those recent? I dont know how old Platz is now. Where'd you get those pics?

Yes, the pictures were published in Musclemag within the past year.  Tom was 53 in the pictures and I am surprised there was never a post about them on here.

Come on, Matt C. You're smarter than that. Platz isn't even close to 53 in those pics. I remember when those came out years ago. Look at the suit for chrissakes! Platz is barely holding 180 lbs these days. Said so in his latest interview.

           
[ Q ] You've probably heard the speculation on the internet. Just how are you looking these days and are you still training hard in the gym?


      Well obviously I'm not the 240 pound bodybuilder people saw throughout my career - I was between 225 and 240 depending on my schedule. I'm not that weight right now. I could easily get back to over 200 and I did it in '95.

      Every ten years you think about making a comeback and that's where I am now, but I decided to put my energies elsewhere. So I'm about 180 pounds right now. Compared to the '80s (Tom's prime) I'm extremely light now.

He's standing outside with no suit pants on. It's a bit strange.

i was watching total rebuild the other day...anyone else notice what a intensly creepy individual platz was...fucking weirdo...and what kind of shoes is he wearing in those current photos, are they powerlifting shoes or track and field/shotput shoes...he has that same type of shoe on in almost every photo ever taken of him.

Great quads by the way, but creepy none-the-less...

I've got no problem with Platz winning the list, although if I could choose I'd probably have Demayo's legs, I think Kai is getting close to Branch, certainly he has more interesting cuts and stuff, and Branch presumably doesn't grow his as big as he could, there's a pretty high standard for legs these days, half the guys have crazy quads now, even 3rd tier guys like Fankhouser and little guys like Silvio have massive cut legs. I would even suggest that apart from all the different drugs around now, the emphasis on bigger legs is a definite contributing factor to all the bigger midsections these days, since you can't squat massive weights without your waist absorbing some of the poundage. Iron-age = smaller legs + smaller waists. I know Platz was iron age but common the guy's a FREAK!

  Ronnie at the 2004 Olympia had the best quads of any bodybuilder ever, hands down. The problem that I have with Ronnie 2004 Olympia is that the quads were the only positive thing about his physique. Everything else was a mess.
