I met Platz at a seminar he did back in 91!!
Bigeest ripped wheels i have ever seen :o :o
They were unreal :o :o
Yeah, he loves working those legs. I think he could stop working everything else and as long as he's working legs he's happy. I can never imagine picturing this guy in a wheel chair at age eighty.

Someone should post that picture of Platz and Demayo on stage together comparing legs.

He probably could of banged out 10 more.

That video was funny. Platz reminds me of Rick Flair for some reason.

It looks like he almost passes out after he's racked the weight! His legs must be so full of blood!

Well thanks Sarge.  your admiration for me tickles me.  But, even I am not that stupid to say I am or ever was close to Tom's legs.  I am not Alexxx or Vince, I know my limitations and when to shut up.

What can I say?  Thank you for the recognition.  A lot of us back then really trained for the love of bodybuilding.  I must admit in the gym today, I do still have a tendency to ʻgo thereʻ.  Guess itʻs in the blood.  Magic and I have stayed in touch.  He sent me some raw footage last year I had never seen before.  We are putting clips of it in my DVD series.  Oh, by the way, I wish it was going for that high price that I keep seeing online.  LOL.  Actually, check them out in my website.  Thank you, everyone.  You are the reason I did it back then, and why I still train today!

Great to hear Tom. Are you still doing seminars?  I remember a few years back you were at the Olympia expo selling shirts, be cool if you made it there again!

Great to have a legend on the board

Platz's intensity and drive are to be commended, but he would never be able to keep up with Coleman's poundages....front to back, Coleman's quads are superior

No.

I was at this show in Pittsburgh and from where I sat I could have taken this picture. I think it was around 1997?

I don't remember seeing striations on Coleman's quads, or separation like Tom's.  ???
