AEG Fitness uploaded a short video of Tom Platz on their YouTube channel where Platz opens up about a secret. Platz started by saying, ?My bicep tore off the bone, I went to the doctor right away.?
During the 1982 Olympia, Platz was ready for the stage, but he had a huge drawback. He reiterated, ?I can?t use my bicep at all. Went to the 82 Olympia in London. I can hide it perfectly; nobody knew it happened but I made the mistake of telling someone. I told Arnold.? After telling Arnold, a series of events happened.
One judge received a revelation from Arnold Schwarzenegger himself, who then shared it with another judge. This led to Tom Platz being caught in a situation where the judges insisted on inspecting his left biceps. Despite this setback, Platz’s bodybuilding journey flourished, and he went on to achieve remarkable success, securing numerous titles, including Mr. Universe. However, it was his legendary legs, particularly his awe-inspiring quads, that set him apart, making other competitors hesitant to challenge him in that regard.
The Golden Eagle has the best quads
The Instagram page named @bodybuildinglegendsshow shared a photo of Platz where he was showing off his quads to a fellow bodybuilder. The post was captioned, ?Tom Platz at the 1977 Mr. America showing off legs that his competitors can?t even look at.?
The throwback picture captures Golden Eagle working on his legs at Armento’s gym. It was during his early days at the age of 17 that Platz began immersing himself in the world of bodybuilding, honing his skills and showing exceptional progress in the sport.
