On which exercise did he tear his biceps?

He tore his bicep doing heavy dumbbell flyes. Went too heavy, and let the dumbbell go down too far, close to the floor

Platz's upper body was greatly underrated. It's too bad he was ahead of his time for leg development and got marked down for it.

X2 - His upper body in most comparisons is bigger & thicker than everyone else’s
He was a clear winner in 81.

Too bad Franco was Arnold's best friend.

Platz trained like a man that legitimately had a gun to his head and they told him if he didn't give it 100%, he was a dead man!
With that said, I'm surprised he could walk after the age of 50!

I've always found it hilarious that people think you are an absolute expert in the field of weightlifting, as long as you are a monster who responds well to drugs.
Some of these guys train like complete morons, and people would be laughing at them if they were a 250lb slob who trained the same way. But since they are juiced to the gills and huge, people actually pay money to "learn" from them! LOL!

If you like that video, you are gonna fucking die watching this one! Skip to 7:00 to watch the funniest thing ever filmed in a gym!

No doubt Tom was strong as shit. Theres a video of him squating 500 for 20+ reps for fucks sake. But look at the advice he is giving those schmoes in that video! 3/4 of the ones still alive are probably in a wheel chair!
