Maintaining some size on TRT is one thing that type of vascularity in the legs is next level, not questioning what he's doing he's a genetic freak, but there would be a lot of consistency in what he's been doing, if I was to guess consistently test and HGH along with diet. Props to him looks fantastic for his age.

And still trains like a retard.

Tom is the original Gym Idiot.  Great physique nonetheless though.

Those for sure but I think people default to what they know, and in his prime it was all about Deca. Everything was built around that and I'm sure that's part of it now.

And if he's still squatting at 69, congratulations, good work

People actully paid him money to demonstrate his gym retardedness...

His gym retardedness worked for him & made him a legend in his sport
Which is more than any of us has achieved - its easy to slag him off from
The side lines.

For sure. Especially on this forum we put down all bodybuilders and call them all losers. I try to say something positive too, like it's great he can still train. But the training really was "special," I wonder if anyone of his peers ever told him he was absolutely ridiculous...

his leg training was heavy, but also with many reps. And alot of forced extra reps on accessories

what I recall he trained them once a week and he said he for sure needed it for the recovery... could be wrong, maybe he trained more frequently in his prime.

I think most people in Bodybuilding like Ronnie but of course know he turned himself into a cripple.
Listen..you only get one spine & if you´re honest most athletes in other sports call it a day when serious problems occur.
Ronnie didn´t & what can you call his mentality? brave or stupidity ?

He had a special approach regarding squats. He claimed to do them only once a month and separated from leg day.

Maybe later in his career but he was a volume guy like most at that time.
Later on some old school guys did hitch onto the Bro splits because of the recovery & naturally at their age they needed that.

Their training was very sloppy and some did comment but Platz's cheating style was on another level altogether. His weights didn't always even move at all, he just kept contorting his body like he was trying to break it. The squats were beautiful though.

If you first look at Branch training and then watch Yates, it's like one is a child and the other is a maestro.  ;D

I meant he praised squatting so much he consider it almost a different muscle group than legs. He did those crazy high rep squatting sessions only once a month.

I posted his routine from his leg training manual. Brutal.

Fortress says he exaggerated his squat weights a lot. Told Fortress his best was 51 reps with 315 iirc whereas he claimed 2 sets of 50 with 405 other times.

Rumor has it this is the only time Tom ever squatted
