todays pros; better legs than Platz?

[jf1]

tom platz started it, but i think he has been surpassed by most of todays top pros.
these pics of kai inspired me to make this thread.
discuss?

[Grecianx]

not really been surpassed, they are just on par now. The only thing better about kais legs to platz is conditioning.

[Alfz]

not exactly 'today' or even around but

[KevinSorbo]

Almost all pros of today have better legs. Platz's just look bigger because his upper body was small in comparison. If you stood them side by side, it would be clear. Pros have definitely surpassed Platz's legs, especially guys like Branch, Ronnie, and Kai.

[MattyH7688]

if you compared them side by side it wouldnt be close.. but for his time, platz legs were untouchable

[Coal Man]

definitely surpassed.

Platz' legs were great, don't get me wrong...but appeared much more incredible due to his relatively small upper body.

IN before sea of branch warren pics

this, in the pic of platz look at his right leg. theres just a deep thickness in his legs that kai isn't matching and i think kai's physique is ridic (in a good way)

Don't they ?

I think that the best pros today MATCH Platz's legs, but his would still be some of the better ones. Unfortunately he would not be on a pro stage because of his upper body.

[Zeneth]

The thickness in Platz's lower quads is just unsurpassed.

Looking at his torturous leg workouts im hardly surprised.

I agree with this. I've seen some platz pics that make me doubt he's been surpassed by many. Where his quad inserts into the knee is insane. He's probley still number one there.

[Emmortal]

Bigger does not mean better.

[SOMEPARTS]

If calves count as part of legs, no.

[warbird00]

yes a lot of people have.

And his "weaker" upperbody makes his legs look much better

holy cow! comin in good matty!

[pyrolee]

Personally I like platz's legs...never seen anyone with a more developed tear drop than his

[MattyH7688]

holy cow! comin in good matty!

thanks bro!

[BOUNTYHUNTERMK2]

x2.

[Hengman]

Erik Fankhouser, Kai Greene, Branch Warren, etc...

These guys surpassed Tom Platz in leg development.

[Mr. Tripeps]

More development? Yes. Bigger? Yes. More Striations? Yes.

Better? Subjective.

[siersy]

thanks bro!

yea leaning up nicely....



what i think it is that makes platz's legs appear so outstanding is that they are shorter and stumpier.... not exactly better or worse just different to someone like kai with cross striated quads...

[Darren in Gym]

Some pros have surpassed him. and ill name them: Kai, Branch, Ronnie, Jay, Dorian and Mostafa Mohammed (anyone else, please add)

[Kelei]

Although many pros these days may have bigger legs, nobody has better legs.

[FullROM]

Can anyone put some pics up with them side by side like i saw with Arnold and Ronnie pics.

Platz had huge leg size. I am not convinced there are amny better legs out there today. Some to scale comparision pics would help show this more clearly.

[Youngy2109]

I agree that some of todays pros have bigger legs than Platz, however, this photo is just awe inspiring in terms of his total leg development and I don't think any of todays pros have left such a memorable impression on me as this pic does. Any time someone mentions best legs ever, this photo always springs to mind, simply incredible.
