Tom Platz (Man with the legs)

[Shanecutler51]

Tom Platz is my favorite bodybuilder of all time, and seeing as how he might come back I decided that it might be a good idea to make a thread for him. I don't know how to embed so kind of hard on my part. Post all your Tom Platz pics here. I will post my favorite pre-leg workout video, really gets me pumped to trash my quads and helps me memorize amazing form.

Tom Platz is a little later in the movie but I'm sure you guys don't mind seeing big squats! Also some Ronnie Coleman in this video which you will all love. If you're wondering Tom Platz is doing 225kg

meh buddy, that's Jesse Marunde, show some respect, also he was far from fat, Had a 6 pack. Did what he did in between Coleman and Platz really not impress you? 505 for 15 reps?

[WiliamBurkowitz]

the music is atroscious.

[Shanecutler51]

Well yeah, video was still amazing. Could you keep the rest of your opinions to yourself though please. I really like the video and was posting it because I figured others would like it as well. Coleman/Marunde/Platz, what is not to like?

it's impressive but not to the sight. It took him way too long to do those, and the rest in between reps was most unimpressive. Ronnie coulda probably pumped those out in less than half the time.

How about you post a vid , maybe just do 300 for 15 reps, lets see what you can do

So post your vid up.

[WiliamBurkowitz]

I cant do 315 for 1 rep.

[kethnaab]

so STFU and stop acting like a little spider monkey who thinks he can criticize the silverbacks just because you're behind a keyboard

lol i could squat that when i was 15, thats the one thing i hate about forums, the guys who sit behind there keyboards and think they can even approch what any IFBB pro or champion strongman can do.

Do you realize how physically taxing it is to do 20 reps with even 300? With your max 225. You have to take long rests in between rests later on because if you don't you will pass out due to lack of oxygen, it is 'that' physically taxing. Marunde was doing full below parallel reps, Coleman was doing bodybuilder reps, just above parallel stop before lockout. Both are hard in their own right but comparing the two on a strength level is dumb. Coleman is stronger than any other bodybuilder I have known but I don't feel he is World's strongest man level strong. Two different physiques,two different body types, two different training styles. As to not turn this into a bodybuilding/strongman or powerlifting dispute, all of us are alike; We're just trying to put on some good ole' muscle.

Great vid of Tom. Gotta love Bill Kazmaier urging the crowd on on Tom's last couple of reps !

[ReeBPM]

Lol does anyone find it disturbing how Tom's got the biggest smile on the entire way through that? What a hero, he obviously loves what he does!

[captainhorseboy]

hey guys, um, it doesn't matter what the person typing can lift. he can still make a comment about it. i get tired of seeing a comment of like "branch warren uses pretty terrible form" and then some random says "I BET YOU COULDNT LIFT THAT MUCH WITH THE SAME FORM"

so what?

it doesnt change the person's opinion.

(can't watch video, i'm at work)

strong ignorance

[Bigdolf]

nice vid op....don't take to heart what a serial killer has to say

[WiliamBurkowitz]

Alteast 1 person here has a brain.

Look, Marunde, sure, hes big and strong. Thinking of 405 x 20 sounds great. very impressive. Watching it has got to be one of the most single boring things to watch on video.. ever.

Anyway, if you people hold Marunde so close to your hearts then good for you. You don't have to go off nutting all over your keyboards over him just because of a simple negative statement about his video. I only half meant it anyway. I can't lie tho, I did get very bored and a little bothered after the 15th rep.

I really liked the puke bucket on the floor next to the guy with the blue shirt and multicolor plates. LOL

And damn, Tom was doing some monster squats...he was going LOW and coming up hard each time.

Platz was an animal!

Definitely, all the men in the video were and are great man. Pretty exciting that all of them were combined into one video. Oh and to those who don't like the music just mute it and play your own pump up song =D
