His legs are all genetics. Pictures are pictures, I have been looking for videos of his legs but I cant find any video where his legs look better than any of the pros today.

Picture are picture...everyone can look world class in right lightning standing alone. I think he´s legs are a bit overrated. Best in history, come on!  ::)

overrated? stupid statement among the best in history? absolutely

in contests he scaled back his leg training even stopped squatting to try and balance things out so you wont see his best ever legs on-stage per-sa

Ok! So he made his legs worse so he both had a weak uperbody and weak legs at competition day, great job!

I don't believe your theory!  :)

His legs weren't worse , just scaled down and his upper body wasn't ' weak ' it was not on par with his legs

And I don't care if you believe my theory it's a fact , his upper body was thick as hell but his legs overpowered everything

What ND says is true,because of the criticism of his lower body dwarfing his upper body he stopped training his legs for contests.But he also believed that the best way to make the upper body grow was from squats,that the body produced more growth hormone from heavy squatting.Kind of a catch 22 for him.

There you go squats make the overall body respond.

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

Does anybody have the pic of Platz flexing his legs beside big Lou?  That might be the greatest owning of all time!

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.



he has amazing genetics in his lower body especially his quads and weak genetics in his arms and shoulders.. good back and chest.. if he had good (just good) arms and shoulders he would have been mr. olympia no doubt!!.. same as matrazo whose calves are from the very best ever and his biceps are great (size wise) but the rest of him is very average with a lot of flaws!!..

so imo it's all genetics because any gym rate knows well how to train each part well so what about pros.??.. definitely he was training his weak parts as hard as his lower body IF NOT HARDER!!..

I was disappointed when I learned that Platz basically trained the legs like any other guy, once a week and all of that, but he did it with greater intensity.

No hating (I would never do such a thing when bodybuilding is conserned) but didn't he wear a jeans in one interview and his legs looked completely "normal" with jeans on.



That pic is so photoshopped.

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?

Are you retarded? I mean seriously. I'm not even joking. Your initial post is ridiculous. Your asking why he never built this upper body to match his legs??? WTF??????? DUDE, he has the largest and most cut legs in the history of the sport and you're wondering why his upper body didn't match. So you're weighing the option that maybe if Tom trained his upper body harder than he would also have the LARGEST and most CUT upper body to match his lower body??? Is this making sense kid? Is this getting through to you????

Now, to answer your ABOVE statement, which is even more perplexing than your post. Now you're asking people why magazines state that everyone can be a Mr. O if they trained hard??? You're like a fat chick who says but the vogue magazines say if I diet then I will be a super model...

Why do you ask so many fucking questions and why do they have to all be so stupid???

Sorry, but you've been doing this for a long time now and no one seems to have picked up on it and I really can't let it slide any longer..
