One of the hardest lines I've ever heard in bodybuilding: "I will not be a victim of my genetics, they will be a victim of me"

You can't stop the man who turn his pain into power and anger to strengthen

I’m glad Platz, Levrone, Priest, Haney are becoming very popular again. Just listen to these guys talk and you got energy for a decade

The ultimate performer. Tom is just an incredible human being, and it's a shame he didn't win the '81. IMO he is the uncrowned winner 💯

Out of all the sports one can take to, bodybuilding is the one with the longest game. It has hundreds of rounds, each round lasting anywhere between 1 hour and 4, the sport of bodybuilding isn't played out on stage, the score is tallied on stage, the game itself is played out everytime a competitor goes to the gym, everytime they choose to stick to a structured diet, everytime they go to sleep the game is being played out. You see this in the mentality of the guys that do it, it's truly inspiring to see that these guys, like Tom Platz, are just absolute glutton for punishment. Few other sports out there requires you to hurt yourself first and foremost, that too only bodybuilding and a few other weight related sports require, pain isn't just a means to an end, it's the only thing in the endless waltz of bodily improvement that matters. Truly some of the most inspiring, high level athletes out there

1:33 What a moment for Nick Vision!

Tom Plats had one of the best phenomenal muscular legs in the bodybuilding industry. Just a work of art, a masterpiece. One of the iconic legends of bodybuilding.

My personal, “old dog” viewpoint is that there is no woman who ever existed that is worth messing your life up over. Tom did it right by turning it into power.

For me, it was the other way around. I stopped training altogether. She cheated on me.I was preparing to compete , and I just fell into a black hole. That was over 25 years ago. Once I hit 50, I started training again. Its been close to 4 years of consistant hardcore old school training. I now squat up to 7 plates and have 22 nch arms. I'm bigger and better now and most important is that i'm back ! Bodubuilding for LIFE

That's amazing Mr. Platz gave you a shoutout, absolutely deserved!

Tom’s quads never forget her.

Favourite bodybuilder ever and not only because of bodybuilding by mainly because of attitude to life, magnificent person!

Once in a generation are we fortunate to have a Tom Platz roam the earth!

The single,most influential bodybuilder for me.Every atom in his body he bent to his will and every ounce of energy in the universe he could tap into to create his goals.The dictionary definition of single mindedness of purpose.Fair play to this absolute beast.

To all my iron brothers and sisters, I think we all can relate to having setbacks or our heart broken in one way or another. In the gym we know how to turn that pain into power. If you're going through something right now, keep fn going. ''Anything negative that happened to me turned out to be an opportunity in disguise, it's hard to understand it at that time, but I ALWAYS found out later it was the best thing that happened to me.'' 💯 -Platz

Best videos ever. The energy is unreal, whenever I watch any Nicandro Vision vid I live in the gym. 🔥🔥

One thing I’ve taken from Tom platz upon doing my workouts is to make sure your body is in discomfort when leaving the gym. If you don’t it means you didn’t train

I was a 6-8 rep squatter basically since I started as a kid. When I heard the guy with the best legs ever did high rep, I thought "why not?". If you can squat 400lbs, I recommend trying 200 for 20, and I mean perfect form squats too. I have never experienced a pump in my entire leg like that. High reps with higher weight is something I'm looking forward to.

My man was literally hypnotizing himself into greatness. He wouldn't take no for an answer and I think this is an awesome mindset to apply to any goal in life.. not just lifting. Awesome video. Tom's intensity and mindset is captivating

Platz was criminally underrated

LEG DAY HERE!! LFG!!!!

im thankful for people like mr platz as i still do bodybuilding even though im in pain constantly from EDS and autoimmune conditions. i got to 225lbs at my biggest naturally and still dont give up even now weighing les because of my conditions i only weigh 190lbs but still go hard. i have had so much pain over the years and if i can do it im hoping the young guys reading this will be patient and not take anabolics.

Tom Platz is the goat

Nickandro thanks for being my pre-workout ❤

This man is simply another level, much higher. Extraordinary, great.

The gym will always be there for you. It never lies to you.

That's must feel amazing to have a shoutout by the man himself Tom Platz

Listening to Tom Platz while doing barbell squats just bring out those extra reps.Inspirational!(oh, and by the way, his quads were out of this world!)

Tom Platz just a legend inspires us to be our best

Motivationally, Tom Platz sounds like the Mike Tyson of professional body building. Convert all that pain and hurt into successful transformation.

This is SO motivating. The squat example of life is the best in my opinion. Life will make you squat by all this problems and tensions but you have to stand up again

1:33 that was SO cool brother!!!

Tom, you are definitely one true legend, iron brother, and iron warrior. I have always Admtired you're physic you're dedication, your state of mind, ur achievements. You're a true ambassador. An example to all of us in the body building society and communit. For that, I thank you🏋‍♂️💪🏼👍🙏💝💯

Tom was always a legend in the gym. Every guy I knew used to aspire to the extreme development of his championship legs. A classic physique with the right attitude of determination and approach💪

I've seen Tom so many times in the 80's and 90's in the fitness magazines. That man is motivation

From 1983 - 1987 Tom Platz was the most famous of the active body builders of that period. No one cared he didn't win the Olympia, he was "THE" Bodybuilder during that period.

Good clip

Greatest legs in bodybuilding history! Amazing man as well!

Him and Lee Priest is some of my favorites because of the way they speak and their uniqueness

A very strong mind!

Love it

Love you Sir 🤗 💖 ❤

Tom Platz = The T-Rex of bodybuilding. Lower body the best there ever was, the upper body held him back.

Wow so good The gym I love gym ❤❤❤

We all make it brah❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Tom Platz,the God Father of Squats! Before every leg day I watch clips of Tom Platz legs🏋️. In-between sets I ask myself how would Tom Platz do this program. I visualise then Train as if I'm Tom Platz. I can't tell you for a fact that this mindset has been my motivation. Before I step my foot into the gym I say to myself now Great(my name) go bully those weight 😤🏋️💪
