Whereas the caption of the post acknowledged David?s effort, revealing he ?survived? Tom Platz?s leg day. However, there?s one move that the Golden era bodybuilder advised that he?d rather avoid.?

The exercise that was too risky for Tom Platz

A YouTube short that surfaced on the platform months ago revealed the star athlete?s concerns related to deadlifts. ?I think the deadlifts people do, too much risk. I can milk it out of leg curls for ya. I can do staffs that?s less risk, even better results,? he said. Platz shared the reason for steering away from deadlifts. Around the 70s, he lifted heavy but back problems eventually caught up to him.?

Thus, it made him go, ?let?s forget about it.? He further added that it?s ?too risky.” Even though the IFBB pro pointed out that almost every workout has its benefit-to-risk ratio, deadlifts were not worth the risk.?
