Tom Platz is one such name who has ruled the bodybuilding world for most of his career. His fans and fellow bodybuilders know him as the Quadfather, because of his massive leg development. Many aspiring bodybuilders seek inspiration from him to attain massive muscle striations in their legs. 

A former Mr. Universe, Platz often shares his knowledge about training through social media posts, and had recently, in his video revealed a secret behind cross-striated quads, using an example that might baffle some fitness enthusiasts.

Quadfather Tom Platz banks on “explosive movements” 

In a recent video uploaded by the Masterthegym YouTube channel, Quad’s father can be seen talking a secret to get the cross-striated quads. Giving a hack to attain the strongest legs, he brought up how chickens walk around with efficiency and do a lot of endurance work. “Chicken walks around the farm all day, Make noises and stuff. Chickens have real skinny legs.”

Here, even while joking, he stressed the fact that the endurance done by the chickens did not seem to reflect on their “skinny legs.” However, despite not being able to fly, they continue in their attempt to attain flight and engage in “heavy explosive movements” According to Platz, because of this, their breasts get bulky. Platz uses this as an analogy to reveal the fact that resistance plays a vital role in getting more mass and bulk. According to him, a balance of both kinds of techniques will help bodybuilders attain their body goals.
