Ton Platz - Legs
« on: January 30, 2010, 04:11:56 AM »
Question - Tom Platz had tremendous legs no doubt, maybe the best legs ever. Why could he not get his upper body to match the legs? Was it that he didnt train upper body as intensely or was it Genetics? By the way his legs are still unmatched even today.

his legs ARE matched, its just that his upper body was so relativly small so they looked even bigger, and yes, all genetic

Are you saying Platz should have backed off his legs and concentrated more on upper body? My question his he trained legs very intensely did that take away from his upper body development? Just think if he had the upper body to match his legs  :o

Yes Genetics, the closest Tom got to some sort of balance was 1981 O where he had improved his upper-body alot but still not on par with his massive quads

So genetics is the rule it seems, so in all muscle mags why do they state that everyone can be Mr O if they train hard enough?

After the bicep tear he never recovered. Now why are bicep tears so common with the pros? Is it bad exercise form or the roids making them stronger than the muscle tissue or both?

Tom trained me for a while. He hit everything with a kind of mad intensity.  Upper body just didn't respond as well.

Seemed in videos I have seen he used lighter weights for upper body compared to leg training maybe he couldnt do the weight which may have contributed to less size upper body

  that could be the case.  I just remember watching vids in his office before we would go squat(which, with the exception of one time when we did curls, was the ONLY thing we ever did) and being in total disbelief over his near insane intensity.  The honest truth is that I have always been the hardest training guy at whatever gym I went to...but he buried me.

Exactly no matter what he did that upper body wasn't going to be like the lower
