Honestly he’s probably the smartest bodybuilder behind mike

[Aampi]

Dude can still walk says a lot about how smart he is

[Fudo_dxrk]

I love how honest he talks about exercises it’s just so interesting, especially his stories

[mr.terwilliger]

This finally explains to me why ducks have such insane quads.

And he didn’t use an absurd amount of weight and destroy his knees

[truthreignsforever]

Tom Platz was real witty about the human anatomy and muscles. He was ahead of his contemporaries. He’s still walking today and healthy. It Tells you he knew what he was doing.

Thanks Mr. Platz…. I’m 56yrs old and I’m still learning from all of you great bodybuilders…. Your knowledge is something else… thanks again…

That's actually how bronze era body builders performed their squats. That's due to George hackenschmidt being the one who invented the hack squat

[mr.m]

That man still looks good in his late 60s

[Amolive]

Talk about never skipping leg day 💪🏾💪🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

[allenanalla]

My knees are screaming just watching this

[kourtneyhanley]

The passion he has for the movements is like that good teacher from school

[jimmyoconnell]

Amazing body builder one of my favourites

[goredknight]

Defently did not miss leg day’s. He is one person you do not want to stand next to in a competition, especially when making leg posses. From what I’ve seen he is one of the top performers & all round nice guy.

Wait, but the tear drop muscle is the vastus medialis, not lateralis

[platitudepete]

Hip external rotation (“standing like a duck”) is supposed to prioritize the inside of the quad (vastus medialis or “teardrop”); the vastus lateralis/“quad sweep” is on the outside of the quad, being prioritized with hip internal rotation (“pigeon-toed”).

[aljaliah]

From memory, he’s also a scientist, let’s not forget that !!!

[mattfitness]

I'm going to try this out next time. 🔥💪🏻🏋🏻‍♂️👏🏻👏🏻

For any claiming knee problems or issues from doing this movement clearly has never tried it with correct form and or just talking because you don’t have the confidence in seeing yourself doing such movements … brush up on kneesovertoes guy and I promise you, you’ll retract every single comment you’ve ever made about this specific topic . Kneesovertoes guy had surgeries on his knees was told he’d never play basketball again let alone walk or run comfortably…. And guess what after applying platz variations plus a plethora of other supporting exercises he can now dunk, jump down off a box and let his knees come forward first like we were designed to lol. Seriously cause everytime I see a bunch of comments on this screaming rip knees and such I laugh my ass off cause majority of you are speaking from a inferior perspective. Aka just cause you can’t picture yourself doing it doesn’t mean you shouldn’t and or it’s not good for you/anyone else …
