The Tom Platz Cycle

[Humble Narcissist]

He is so old he has just forgotten.

[ProudVirgin69]

his personality wasn't very "moderate" in my opinion so why would he not push the gear, he was a real psycho 

boom

[youandme]

There was an old timer on here I think that knew Tom when he lived with room mates, same time he had the corvette. Anyways he said Tom kept Dbol in a cookie type jar in the kitchen and bed just grab basically a handful and go on with his day.

That was pretty common at the time for bodybuilders.

Platz must be related to Lee Priest.

[IroNat]

So it wasn't all hard training and diet?

[Rambone]

So it was all hard trenning and deca?

 

[Hulkotron]

Would be great to wear salmon polos and ride bikes with Tom (nh)

[AbrahamG]

Wasn't the urban legend back in the day that he was getting GH out of horse cadavers or something like that? Thats supposedly why his jaws were so big too?

He would suck large cocks on cycle so naturally the jaws would experience growth. He threw the GH cadaver bullshit out there to throw off the dogs.

One strength athlete, who now works for an NFL team, showed Fitton (Tony) a bottle he'd purchased for $500 that purported to contain gorilla growth hormone extracted from the animal's brain. After examining the bottle, Fitton informed the lifter with a laugh that he'd been duped into buying a few bucks' worth of Deca. "I asked him," Fitton says, " 'How common do you think gorilla brains are? It's a bloody endangered species!' "

"I had no contact with him (Fitton)," says Kim Wood, the Cincinnati Bengals strength coach from 1975 through 2002, "but it was known in the strength world, if you wanted to cheat, this guy, working out of a little post office in Alabama, was the guy. Tony Fitton was doctor and pharmacist."

Pacifico was was a monkey GH source, Steve Michalik used it for awhile too.

World is full of liars. There are a small handful of people that I allow in my life because I trust them. Fuck the rest!

Like with most of these guys, the figures change depending on their age and who they're talking too. Here's a 1985 seminar where he claims #100mgs of anabolics / day was his limit -

and how many days has his week ? 500 

[Hypertrophy]

A bodybuilder lying about his usage?

[Humble Narcissist]

They think it makes them look more legit if they just used a little while everyone else was using a lot.

Not necessarily drug related but what caused the swollen ankle or ankles in '81, noticeable in a particular photoshoot?

I rather listen to the tom platz wig story

stingray venom

Maybe his dog did the wild thing on his leg

[Megalodon]

I remember an article about Schwarzy relating a story about swollen ankles(I think) just prior to the 1980 Mr O and desperately taking cortisone so they wouldn't look bad on stage.

Arnold could have been temporarily afflicted by latent Christopher Schwarzenegger/sauropod ankle genes expressing themselves, for all we know.

That is drug related for sure. Either he got this swollen from the steroids or, if this was shot after a show, drug rebound. If it's not a diuretic rebound, which steroids worsen, then it's a very bad sign. I know a lot of bodybuilders who shit themselves on the rebound after a show, which is made worse if your traveling after a show, either a long plane flight
or even sitting immobile in a car. "Pray to God this goes away soon" is the thought process. Many taper their diuretics to mitigate a nasty rebound, probably healthier too. I've got some pics of ankles on my phone, "bro you think I'm going to be ok?" Sometimes they can't even wear their normal shoes.
