Platz was the man. I think it will be a while before we ever see leg development like that again.

Best is when you complain and they look at YOU like you have some sort of problem. I told them "I can feel my muscles shrinking to this music" and they just gave me a WTF? look.

Also on the franco website there is a video gallery coming soon that looks promising.

Platz was in MuscleMag a few months ago, he was awarded some Lifetime Acheivement Award in London.
He's the director of sports science at some uni in California. Looks to be in great condition, still works out, and has a butt-ugly wife called Doc or something.

Don't even know how he walked.
