Platz was a great business man and would make a fortune back in the day doing seminars and posing exhibitions. I wonder how much he commands these days at 160 and 60+ years old.

Tom Platz....He’s trying to bring back old school bodybuilding.

The good old dayz when BBs only took steroids, test, ritalin and amphetamines.

Simpler times.

Wasn't he broke a few years back and selling off his trophies, etc.?

Tom’s tried acting and several other ventures. At one point was selling cars (still?).

He was an intense trainer, no doubt, but was also unnecessarily self-abusive.

Still, Tom’s a legend and worked very hard.

What’s a bummer is there is seemingly NO footage of him performing his infamous squat sessions/sets. The WBF squat-off doesn’t count (years past his retirement); nor does the 325 set shot for the PowerliftingUSA video magazine. Again, well past his prime.

Don't know why, but I thought you were in your 50's. Heck, you're almost as old as me and I am a fossil.  ;D

When you're hot, you are hot. When you're not, you are not....and you give free seminars.  :)

When it's 'free' for the public, than it's the gym owner who's paying. Tom is a great person, but he ain't no Jesus..
