Platz definitely had the best legs ever in bodybuilding. Just ripped and huge; even larger looking because of his height.

I tried some crazy Tom Platz inspired stuff when I was 19. Back then I weighed a whopping 195lbs. Did 315x15 then 225x25, staggered out of the gym, puked for about half an hour. A friend of mine owned the gym and was laughing his ass of at me. Never tried it again. I could hardly walk for a week. Even my mom was ragging on me, LOL.

haha right on dude. Me and Sarge do that kind of stuff all the time. Sarge recently hit 318x20 rock bottem. This last tuesday he did 10x10 with 242 with very little rest between sets.

It sort of looks like Tom is wearing a squat suit in that vid. what do you guys think?
