The Golden Eagle - Tom Platz - Some Pics and Discussion

I could not understand how anybody could do barbell rows after the squats.  I would have fallen on my face.

worse would be directly after stiff legged deads. I always do them after. Having said that you can pre-exhaust a muscle group  but this is planned.

I also heard he'd cover himself with trash bags, sit in a sauna and eat a lot of onions.  Combined with that bizarre-assed 32 sets of 32 reps, it is safe to say he was one weird dude.  Great build before the pec tear, though.

Check out the knee angles though. Platz’s quad is on its side while Johnny’s is facing the camera and flexed. I’m ashamed of how schmoey I’m sounding right now

True. Alcohol is a natural diuretic. Remember the story Levrone told about introducing Ronnie to liquor. I forgot what specific one is was but it was a great story when Kevin told it. His Ronnie impression was hilarious.

No, I never heard that story.  I first heard about wine being used backstage years ago on getbig by Anabolic Outlaw.

Thanks.  Funny story and Kevin sounds more like Ronnie than Ronnie does.

Roger Walker was a great bodybuilder. Not afraid to say his opinion.
