While overall, the session was quite productive as the Titan shared several useful workout tips and insights. The session also had an emotional edge to it as the veteran reminisced some of the tales from the past.

Such was the case, that O’Hearn came back to the question to answer it for a second time to rubbish the claim.

On 11 May 2023, Mike O’Hearn posted the recorded clip of his live session with fans on YouTube. Herein, the Titan slammed a fan for making theories about Tom Platz’s routine. The fan had asked, “How do you feel about the Platz method, where it’s one or two sets to failure with a long rest for the muscle group?” Refuting his statement, the 54-year-old said, “No! That’s not how he trained. Yeah, that’s not how I train with Platz. What are you talking about?”
Continuing reprimanding, he added, “I don’t know where you guys get that information. Yeah, we’d work up to sets and then we’d go back and forth three four five six seven uh there was a time we did 10 sets of 20 on squats…I do like the idea that he said uh long rest yeah. I think it was longer. Definitely, it was longer than what people do today because I noticed that people today feel like if they wait 30 seconds.”
However, the veteran admitted that he too gets impatient sometimes. It’s during those times that he reminds himself to “chill.” Furthermore, during the session, O’Hearn revealed the body part one should focus on while training.
