Saw 325, was expecting 10, maybe 15. Nope, 30. Wish I could squat with that narrow stance.
Holy **** that 2nd video had me dying, lmao. Wtf Platz. "Push harder, kill me!"Last edited by Uz; 02-03-2013 at 09:19 PM.

Thats some very intense leg curls and leg extentions, I am not sure if the quality of todays gym equipment would be able to handle the way platz was training on them as they are made in China now days.Originally Posted by flangmasterj

Tom Platz, King of squats, King of legs!!
PS: Just funny how we were always told, "Don't bounce at the bottom of the squats" and then you see Platz...

Warm ups-6 reps
Working set-30 reps....
Usually it's the other way around....damn Platz was a beast.''There’s this battle over waterboarding at places like Guantanamo Bay. I think that they should just say, “Hey, if you guys don’t talk, you have to see Hercules In New York.” I guarantee those guys would talk much faster. You don’t need to do waterboarding or anything else. That’s the ultimate threat.''

Some kind of machine that fella. High rep squats are the worst thing you can do in the gym. 30 reps with that weight, followed by another set of 20, its impressive.
Also he looks like his body was designed to squat.

this FTW... I do 20 rep squats every week, and it's not even with half that weight. by the end i'm DEAD, not much point in even doing more lifting. what a beast!Originally Posted by lancs_hotpot

Tom Platz sure is a legend and big inspiration. His lust and desire to squat and move heavy weights while maintaining his smooth squat form with those developed legs.. man no other can motivate me more to squat and train legs than him.

I'd have to guess that was shot after he retired, maybe 91-92, have you not seen his 5 plates for 23? In an old interview he said his best was 615 for 15...Originally Posted by lancs_hotpot

I was wondering about that too. I think basically 275 introduced some heavier weight to his legs and woke up his nerves. Then it was ON after that.Originally Posted by BOUNTYHUNTERMK2

Looks like it was shot around 85-86. One of my old training partners was in the background. Those were the Joe Weider Muscle Camps held in California.Originally Posted by gilesmiles1
