Tom Platz - No Easy Way Out

[89lolica]

he looks like actor dominic purcell from prison break

[fflama1]

You can fill yourself 24/7 with steroids and don't get an inch bigger if you don't work out with DEDICATION, DETERMINATION, AND DISCIPLINE. I respect these men. I nominate each of them to be the governor of 50 US states.

[Muscle4LifeX]

Those legs could feed a whole army xD

[stshill1]

:54  his legs are ridiculously big.

[adammichaelbreen]

Nearly thirty years on and noone has been able to match Platz's leg development. Platz is a class above in terms of density, separation, and definition. Not only did Platz posses the right genetics, he trained his legs harder than any individual before or since. He is also a wonderful, articulate, and kind human being, and a testament to the strength of the human will. Thankyou for all the memories Tom, and long live 'The Golden Eagle'!

[Monctonite]

@adammichaelbreen well perhaps Rakmaninov from the USSR ( as it was formerly known) , a Russian olympic heavy weight would have made PLatz look like a stick man.

[bowenblanket]

Best ab and thigh pose in history.

[JP5466]

@bowenblanket If not the best, pretty damn close. Should have been Mr O at least once in '82. Too bad he tore his right biceps. He needed just a little bit more size on his arms, delts and back thickness to match his legs.

[talibe801]

he should have been mr olympia in 1982.

[erdey0zoli]

Not only his leg but his chest and abs are awesome.

[ChaoticNuke]

im 15 been training for 6 months gained alot of knowladge lots of boboks know some bodybuilders not gonna list their names but i was wondering when i whould start anabolics or anti estro's or gh's insulin etc. when im 16 or 7 ? i heard before 25 and people say train for 5 years natural im confused help a 15 year old boy out here :D...?

[StoogeMist]

@ChaoticNuke Please stay natural, son. See how far you can go without the help of drugs, you may be pleasantly surprised.

[Audi2000t]

@StoogeMist very true, steroids are for impatient fckwits wanting to try and take shortcuts. more reqarding earning it the natural way... you wont get as big but it will certainly keep you healthier.

[horpasling]

@Audi2000t 1_ being natural u will reach a certain level and u won't get above it ....

2- Abusing steriods is the problem , exactly like abusing any medicine ,,,

3 _ using steriods under supervision of pro - doctor nothing will happen to u ......and u will remain healthy even healthier than normal ppl

[Audi2000t]

@horpasling look dont get me wrong i have been very tempted to take steroids recently, ive seen alot of my mates progress and their bodies look unbelievable, however im not gaining for size anymore just looking to strip all excess fat and obviously a healthier diet... i have most certainly reach my level and notice i cant get any bigger. im 72kg and currently benching 120kg 3 sets of 10 thats my peak so far and has been for the past 10months

[ChaoticNuke]

nah nah... 17+ people dont know squat :D

[Insubordinate90]

It is said he was conceived when a T-Rex mated with pure protein... we know him only as TOM "QUADZILLA" PLATZ!

[rpbreslau666]

TOM PLATZ=HE MAN HEHE



[Chris2O09]

I think this is my favourite posing video.. so stylish and artistic is Tom Platz

[ChaoticNuke]

17+ people took the easy way out

[TheseOpenRoads]

Tom and Lee look so much alike, I thought Tom WAS Lee in so many videos I watched, lol

[schiazzacmable]

tom is my favorite body builder.....a good guy who should have won the O in 81.

[Muscle4LifeX]

@steroidsR4buttholes Want to blame anyone? Blame the world.

[TomHardyTheGreatest]

@steroidsR4buttholes Is there a video that you faggots haven't ruined? If you don't like these guys, then don't watch them. You're a troll, a failed one at that and no one cares what you have to say.

[thebetterhaloplayer]

Hahahah everytime Im watching a bodybuilding vid be4 working out the first thing I read is: STEROIDS! ROIDING HOMOS! Will you fags pls shut the FUCK up?! None of you reached something in life! Get of his dick!

[kalai131]

no tom platz is not the most amazing legs, there are many to be able to lay such a claim i.e. paul anderson, ronnie coleman, zydrunas savickas, this video is not accurate.

[RedWildz]

@kalai131

Anderson and Savickas are known for strength, not proportions or mass. Coleman began competing decades after Platz -- nearly 30 years later. The amount and quality of steroids have changed drastically in that time, so modern bodybuilders are capable of inhuman size.

Even so, Platz' legs are possibly the most "natural" looking ever -- not bloated at all like Coleman's, for example. Clean, deep cuts and size.

[SkinnedMallard]

you talk shit about roids yet guarentied with 3 times the amounts of gear this warrior is taking you couldnt accomplish shit . if you knew anything about this man youd know his work ethic is what built those massive quads.

[fucdalaw1]

@steroidsR4fuckups wut the fuck u even on here for then u fukn asshole... go watch mr rogers and play with sum kids then u fukn flaming fagg! u dont even have the drive to take ur garbage out in time... u fukn bum... stfu and go jump off a cliff with no chute... (fukn people are ridic)

[szelidrocker]

This is the video for me...favourite music with favourite sportman...

[lovesgibson]

@steroidsR4fuckups who cares. it's there choice, just like people who smoke weed or drink alcohol. it's their choice

[szelidrocker]

This fucking song is fucking great to this video!!!And Tom is a real rolemodel for every beginner bodybuilder(for me too...).

[bodizone1]

what happened to him? why did he go homo? he lost all his muscle and is a gay weirdo now

[lovesgibson]

@bodizone1 the dudes like 55 fucking years old, u really think he'd still be juicing and shit?

[BOKNOWSCOMPUTERS]

total homo thumbs up if total homo

[steroidsR4pussys]

@BOKNOWSCOMPUTERS

STEROIDS are for PUSSYS

I'm helping to expose the pussys that use steroids and other drugs!

Keep it clean!

[Dubzasterz]

@steroidsR4pussys i am a pussy if i smoke weed and drink, i mean i train 3x a week too... but apparently drugs make you a pussy....

[TomHardyTheGreatest]

@steroidsR4pussys It's pussies, like anyone's going to take spamming advice from a fag like you. Your parents must be related or something. Steroids forever!

[lawofzilla]

I just wish. that once i could watch a BB video where some jackass doesnt say Roids, steroid loser, look at my natural pics, all natural is the way, etc. Who gives a rats as shut the fuck up and let the rest enjoy and discuss it.

[zume2600]

@travisbucket56 a friend of yours??

[zume2600]

@steroidsR4shitheads you're a shithead. haha!

[SiggsSE]

@steroidsR4shitheads JEALOUS STICK LEGS!

[MrJacked86]

ya luuuuuzzzeersss lolll

[POLChelseaFC]

I squat to this.

[leahcimrac]

Awesome guy and an awesome bodybuilder, but the only problem I can see with him is that when he poses he seems to have posture and alignment issues.

[thebetterhaloplayer]

Songs like this I normally hate the crap out...But now...when I hear it, it makes me thinkin about Tom Platz! SO when I squat! Im listening to this song! @ the great journey to great legs...(L)

[REXistentialism]

word

[arcangel530]

Beast!

[zeddtbear]

@steroidsR4shitheads are you still at it troll you have so many accounts really STOP. STOP. Get a hobby and you tube isnt a hobby. If you want i could post your real name and info SO STOP

[Calibur316]

good song, good video... so glad to see a video without that bullshit evanescence crap

[lukeyhux]

@Calibur316 THANKYOU! I hate that fucking band.

[themagicmajid]

@Calibur316 DTP KNOWZ

[Calibur316]

@themagicmajid 4 life ;-)

[46Imthebest]

14 People have never worked their legs before

[whiteasasheet]

@steroidsR4shitheads dont go on body building up loads then you fucking cock

[tooloocrew]

@steroidsR4shitheads The only way you get those legs is going to the gym.

[tooloocrew]

I would have voted him Mr. Olympia. One of the guys I truly respect in bodybuilding.

[guhmp93]

Tom's face was hypertrophied

[EMTKlueone]

simply amazing

[usurper08]

come on 10 times lol?

[wippudaeu]

I believe Gar Samuelson choreographed his posing routine. you can tell by the emphasis on the lat spread and front double quad clutch

[JDilla2812]

@wippudaeu dude dont even fucking joke about gar, fatal opera is better than megadeth and motorhead combined!

[wippudaeu]

@JDilla2812 its not like dave palumbo mustaine would even care. At least endgame was a success in my heart

[MrNoirtoise]

when he flexes his legs it looks like a brain is under the skin

[HyperColours]

Every time I struggle to go ATG I just think of Tom and I'm inspired to go deeper even if it hurts and I don't make it back up. He's a true inspiration.

[scrembo]

The Golden Eagle!!!

Walking demonstration that all men are not created equal.

[matchless10000]

the straitions on chest luks awesum!!

[YZFMANIAC08]

1:40 looks like a f*cking brick wall! Insane ab definition

[alexmedrano2000]

@bleushift

Who cares how much steroids he took? There are guys taking 10x more and there legs look nothing like Platz's nor do they train with the intensity this man did.

[MarkQP]

@bleushift

youre a moron

[bleushift]

@MarkQP why because i crossed ur dreams by saying he uses steroids

ive bin doing sports ally my life and many kinds.

soccer,baseball,judo.boxing,mi­litary . fitniss

not thati have got anything against the guy personal

iam glad he is a succes but if that body is real

i doubt it

[MarkQP]

@bleushift

is that samir bannout at 1:38?

[YeungBreaker]

@sox343434 Yep

[skopex18]

i love this tune its one of the tracks on my gym playlist!! YEAH!!

[alexmedrano2000]

holy shit.. 405x50

[Sirgromulus]

I met Tom many years ago when he gave an expedition at the World Gym I trained at. Besides blowing us away by doing a set of fifty full depth squats with 405# (and talking at the same time), he was truly one of the nicest and most honest pros I have met. A true gentleman in the sport.

[YeungBreaker]

@Sirgromulus Ouch ! Brain Fart - Meant "exhibition", not "expedition" Sorry!

[jpd782]

@Sirgromulus I also met Tom. At World's Gym in Venice. This was around 1987. I was about 13. My Grandparents took me to there. And to Gold's gym. Since I was interested in fitness. I wasn't even old enough to join a gym yet. Tom talked to me a bit. Gave me an autograph. Signed it "Dare to Dream. Tom Platz."

[Sirgromulus]

@jpd782 Unlike some (arrogant) pros I have met, Tom is a genuinely nice guy.

[NJnaturalBB]

@jpd782 I wished I was in my late 30's now, I'm only 24. You had these legends in bodybuilding to look up to in the golden era of bodybuilding, I have watch these hgh gut wielding gorillas stomp on stage. Truly jealous.

[jpd782]

@NJnaturalBB Yes. Growing up just outside of Los Angeles, I got to meet a few of the old school guys. Lou Ferrigno, Joe Gold. And a various others I came across. And I knew people who were friends with the big name guys. Joe Weider, Some of the Mr. Olympia competitors. The World's Gym where I met Tom was very old school. No music, no aerobics. Just hardcore lifting.

[demoncoreftw]

@Sirgromulus did u just say fifty??

[Sirgromulus]

@demoncoreftw Yes, although this comment was made 7 months ago. I have strong legs and at my best (in my younger days) I would have been lucky to get 12 - 15 reps out with 405# at a bodyweight of 210#. Platz did them with perfect form while talking to us during the first 20 or so.

[christurkthebrave]

What competition did he win at the end of the vid?

[benchtillfailure]

My Dad looks like Tom Platz too bad I got shitty leg genetics...

[bigguedo]

The roids had his face blown up like a chipmunk.

[abaskcasckbackj]

I love this guy, if he only had bigger triceps....

[MrCurDom]

I BRIVIDI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[guitarfrody]

I agree with 91amme, he sure looks like Terence Hill, so where is Bud Spencer ?

Check out the arms of norwegian Gunnar Rosbo, his measures right under the elbow was 51 cm. He came from nowere and almost beat Lou Ferrigno at Mr Universe back in the seventies.



[kennedyjames007]

He just had to do that last one, even though he knew what was coming. Awesome.

[13visions]

Put dark hair on him and he's a jacked up Kurt Russell.

[91amme]

he looks like terence hill

[gracie1232]

What a great vid and great tune.

Watching Platz and Yates makes me want to go to the gym right now.

[leon4545]

Tom Platz Giant legs man. I dont know why they did this to him when he was in arnolds total rebuils thing, he wasnt even in the top 5.But a true legend that Tom Platz is

[rgmcall]

looks the best at 2:58 Tom Platzs Legs were so huge but they had perfect separation and you could clearly see all muscles in the quadraceps

[TheShadowLugiaXD001]

lol he dances like dolph ziggler

[christurkthebrave]

amazing legs, but his upper body is incredible too. great size.

[rneoman]

good video ,love how dusts off his quad at 2 min 50. brilliant posing, great song too

[SpinDoctor91]

wow awesome vid loved it,love Rocky too,"No Easy Way Out" fit perfectly to the vid too,nice work.

[Dyaln33]

this video is way to gay

[toox]

A monster.

[NuthnButaPeanut]

dude needs to work on his leg development a little more it's sad to see bodybuilders like this who put all their work into their upperbody its just bad taste

[Daningw]

@NuthnButaPeanut

tom platz needs to work on his leg development a bit more? :S

[sphinxofthenewage]

have those bi'sbeen re-attached ? they seem too small.

[erickthegreat98]

@sphinxofthenewage I think that's an illusion. His legs were so freakishly big, they made his upper body look small.

[MrSusta250]

more than a legend he his a bodybuilder with brain cool old school

[Danger555]

Very simply, Tom Platz is an inspiration.

[stepheng1483]

Tom's legs were something else.

[arniejunior]

1:35-1:56 insane conditioning

[christurkthebrave]

awesome video!

[hotgta]

the golden eagle.

[joeyvader]

Was that Samir Banout with him at 1:33? Any idea on Platz's whereabouts??

[Nitrotech23]

@joeyvader Some say he's in the jungles of guatemala....others say he's on the highest peak of the Andes Mountains.....but most believe he's in the back alley of some dinner in detroit.

[Clintbdee]

@joeyvader Yep..the Golden Eagle and the Lebanese Lion.

[MrBaz1988]

i started bodybuilding because of tom platz

[johnnycake020]

i don't understand how i've been training my legs hard for years and they still don't look as big as Tom's. Does anyone know whether tom platz used to drink protein shakes? and how many a day would he have had?

[marxistsoldier]

Before wasting your time training, gain knowledge of the basic principles.

Eat atleast 1g of protein per lb of bodyweight. If u weigh 200lb that's 200 grams divided into 6 meals. Eat 30 odd grams of protein every 3 hours.

Eat healthy wholegrain carbs and lentils, potatoes etc

Eat healthy fats.

The whey protein shakes are for post workout, during training muscles are depeleted and they need to be fed to start the recovery and growth process. Whey protein gets to the muscles fast.

[filupower]

Tom the legend, Tom the Bodybuilder with the best legs and 4ever a legend!!!!!!!!!

[hassan90x]

We all know real champions are those who push their physiques to the limit and accept nothing but the best from themselves. Their success can be isolated to one point. Discipline! Absolute and unwavering.

[EightThoughts]

I would so crush this guys anus!

: )

[Hoganforever]

@EightThoughts you fag

[Gnawonit]

....And are you trying to tell me he could have built legs to this proportion without steroids? No chance! I don't care how brutal your work outs are. It's all chemical bullshit.

[TheBruiser80]

There is nothing gay about this....at all....

[dickswanson]

no one should allowed to comment negatively on this video unless they too can squat 500lbs for 23 reps

[SR4LosersIsMYBITCH]

@dickswanson I have read he went up to 625x20+ reps as well. Incredible leg strength!

[serdnasito]

2:14 EPIC!!!

[slipstream17]

if only tom matched his upper body with his legs he would've been mr. olympia

[superpredatorr]

bodybuilding monsters of roids and cheaters

@superpredatorr you are skiny shit :D

[superpredatorr]

@Ridikk69

steroids users they are nothing without steroids..all thanks to steroids..ever natural. natural is the real hard way

.

see my pic for a natural

[matthewrobertsuter]

Terrific physique.... just a shame about his hair and face, kinda looks like a paedophile.

[onetrashdancer]

@matthewrobertsuter fucking guy huge , but looks like one big sissy mary HA HA

[Daniloki2000]

look at these striations on the chest , amazing abs and conditioning too

[allprosupplements]

Maybe, some of the best legs ever. Flex Magazine readers agree: In a "best bodyparts of the 20th century" poll, Platz was deemed to have the best quads and hamstrings of all time.

[Cooter1Brown]

ROIDS....

[EightThoughts]

Legs are for homos. I just like to pump up the chest and arms!

LOL

[DJASSTROBOY]

@EightThoughts thats the easy way out for the lazys "robbie rotten"

[randyrkaraoke]

@EightThoughts Balance is the key, all over muscle conditioning, Just working out the top half is retarded, it shows you're lazy, and it's the equivalent of a muscle mullet, and that's for idiots.

[porcupine777]

Platz is a legend. E.O.D.

[willeblink]

we all remember mr legs^^ one of the best wheels of all time..

[dahoss2x]

Tom was decades ahead of his time. He laid the foundation for the big men to be accepted in bodybuilding. What a true LEGEND he is.

[NIsape1]

respect  for him,,,!!!!

[pachin63]

The levels of intensity that tom platz achieved are to this day a mistery of science,he could practically keep working a muscle till it stop firing.google that you newbies...

[dippydog]

you can take anything you want, its still an immense challenge to build a body like that, remember there is a lot of blood, sweat and tears behind that body, and you can't buy that over the counter!

[autobahn812]

tom was in perfect condition in 1980 when he stand for the mirror...just perfect and good arms...tom rules

[autobahn812]

respect for tom....

[melkiemelkie]

His legs are to big for the rest of his body. He has no back.

[suparpowers]

@melkiemelkie I'd like to to see you have a better back, better looking legs and body too.

Please sit on a beerbottle.

[melkiemelkie]

@suparpowers Strange reaction! I'm not a bodybuilder so i don't have to.

His legs are too big compared to the rest. So his body is not in proportion.

It's a fact.

Have a nice drink.

[virginmaryspimp]

@melkiemelkie If you're not a bodybuilder then why would you, first, watch the video and, second, feel the need to negatively comment on him. Oh yea...you're just one of those fags who are into watching videos of "muscle studs." I take it that Tom Platz isn't your type.

[melkiemelkie]

@virginmaryspimp I watch many kind of sports because i'm interested. I give my opinion. If you don't like my opinion, please react like any other adult.

But no, i must "sit on a beerbottle" and "i'm a fag".........??????

Are you a little bit insane or something????? Lonely maybe? Find a woman, create kids and grow up. byebye.

[virginmaryspimp]

@melkiemelkie I wasn't implying that you "sit on a beer bottle". I was implying that you like to "sit on dicks". The proof is in your original post.

[melkiemelkie]

@virginmaryspimp poor guy. Grow up.

[virginmaryspimp]

@melkiemelkie Platz's legs have not been matched since. Respect!

[Howie262]

German-Style!

[MrLukasz767]

he used to passing out ...while his leg workout...no one can beat him like i said !!

[MrLukasz767]

.cause of his massive belly lol they would just say wtf u doing here man ? we not buying pigs here its for people with nice bodies its about quality not quantity ...frank zan ? how old is he now ? and look at him now...just amazing ...

[MrLukasz767]

the best legs in history ...ever and forever ...u cant beat him ...hes history and leave it as it is ...no poin talking about coleman etc ...Arnold wouldnt win as well ...and coleman wouldnt be coleman in 1980...life was different ...with arnold body i dont know u may win some regional competitions and in 1980s he was the best when bodybuilding was like it supposed to be not like it is now !! 30 years ago coleman wouldnt win ..

[shinshoryuken]

His legs are impressive for the time, but modern champs like Dorian Yates and Jay Cutler had legs that would of destroyed him.

[NWpowerhouse85]

Platz's legs wouldn't cut it today on stage, there are guys with more development, Coleman in 03-05' would've slaughtered him in a leg comparison. However, HOWEVER, my personal opinion, 500lbs 23 times, taking into account his bodyweight, probably thee single most impressive feat in lifting history.

[Hoganforever]

@NWpowerhouse85

dont disrespect Tom Platz

his legs are probably 500x better than yours will ever be.

and UNLIKE GH UGLY GUT RONNIE Tom Platz actually has shredded abs.

and big Ron couldn't slaughter Platz without all the IGF and GH and ridiculous steroid cycles he depends on.

Tom Platz is a better athlete and is a legend now fuckoff.

[NWpowerhouse85]

@Hoganforever Um, first, I complimented him, you idiot.

And second, better, as in, more developed than damn near any woman would want? More thickness than I MYSELF want?

And, Tom Platz wasn't in the 50s, he was from the era where they started doing all the experimenting with all the hardcore drugs and cycles.

Shut the fuck up, you apparently can't read, and don't have a clue.
