What IF Tom Platz never trained legs...?

What a beauty for pair of wheels like those !!

I've looked into his stuff. The guy knows how to truly target the lower extremities. I think a lot of people refuse to follow his philosophies simply because leg training is under looked
 
That is crazy how his upper body looked built before and legs like twigs. Those legs blew the fuck up. Best wheels in the game.
 
Genetics are some crazy stuff.
Looking at the first picture you wouldn't believe his legs held the potential that they did.
Not taking away anything from the incredible training he had to do.
 
I just realized I'm the opposite of him great legs, alright upper body and shit arms. Wonder if I hop on the sauce will my arms explode like that probably not lol.

I've done some Tom Platz training before all I can say is you'll have a new relationship with your toilet seat that will involve a lot of cursing.
 
There are a lot of stories about how he would do a set of backsquat for 10 minutes straight...

This is from some interview I found:

Sometimes after a set of rep-squats during the advanced routine I would lie on the floor gasping for air, and I would think to myself: Jeez, what if I don’t make it back? What if I don’t recover from this tremendous oxygen debt I’m in right now? And I knew I always would, but sometimes I felt like, my God, I could have a heart attack.
 
He had a more finished looked than Arnold in the 1980 Olympia and was probably better than Franco in 1981 where he placed second or third. Back then his physique resembled more the look of today where it appears -at least to me- that muscle size, complete development and overall definition thrives over proportion and and the aesthetic ideal.

I agree that there was a more aesthetic and proportional look to the BBs back in the 80s. I was not a bodybuilder then and I'm not one now. But, when you take this aas and start lifting you can see your body literally changing before your eyes, and you want to do more weight, more reps, get bigger and bigger, you become a beast. That's kind of neat. I've never looked in the mirror and wondered if I'm proportionate , just trying to see how strong and huge I could get everything. That's just me and like I said, I'm not a bodybuilder. I do prefer the look they used to get back then.
