When he was training for the 1982s (?), apparently there is a video out there. He was really hungry for it and trained very intensely from what I hear.
Anyone have it? Willing to seed for a few days?

There is no training video out there that is for sale that has Tom training in that era. Only stories. It would be interesting though. They say his intensity was so awesome it had to be seen to be believed.

From what I here there was a video, however Tom does not have a copy and the people over at Ironage have tried to contact him, but he does not know where they footage is (through it does exist)Originally Posted by Ryo

04-10-2005, 07:02 PM #8Yeah, I am sure there is footage. People use to tape workouts a lot back then but it does not mean that they taped them for sale. I am sure there is hours of footage somewhere. As of late (2005), a rare training dvd of the Mentzers has come out that was taken in the summer of 78.Originally Posted by F W Nietszche

well it was said he never won a PRO showOriginally Posted by Ryo
i thought by 1980 the amateur mr. universe had already been abolished...so wouldn't he have had to won an IFBB mr. universe to qualify for the olympia?myspace.com/eddierivera86

If even a quater of the things people said he did were true, Platz was a crazy ass mofo. I would kill to have seen him train when he was really hungry for the olympia.

I am pretty sure the title won by Tom in 79 was the AAU Universe, Mike Mentzer won the IFBB Universe the same year. But as long as you had any type of world championship during that era, you could enter the O.
