63-Year-Old Squats 330 Lbs, Possessing Strong Thigh Muscles, Still Fierce at Old Age!

In bodybuilding history, there have been countless legendary figures who have trained their muscles to levels that ordinary people can't achieve. Their muscles leave a deep impression on ordinary people, but it is rare for them to stand out among a group of bodybuilders and be recorded in history. However, some muscular men are outliers, particularly adept at practicing certain muscle groups, and this is what makes them memorable.

Tom Platz is one such bodybuilder and arguably the athlete with the best quadriceps lines. He was known as the 'First Leg King' due to his strong, thick thighs and perfect quadriceps, recorded in the history of bodybuilding.

Tom Platz was influenced by his father and began training from a young age. Initially, like most gym-goers, he leaned towards training upper body muscles such as arms and chest. Later, he became fascinated with leg training, pushing his thigh muscles to the extreme. In the 1980s, when bodybuilding was characterized by bulky muscles, Tom Platz's upper body muscles were not particularly large, but his thighs were dazzling.

Tom Platz is known as the 'Father of the Quadriceps,' with perfect muscle and lines. He consistently trained heavy legs every day, ensuring that his thigh circumference and details were impeccable. It is still difficult to achieve a leg like Tom Platz, especially with the massive use of drugs that is common now. His training was arduous, with almost all his time spent training, and leg training taking up a large part of it.

Tom Platz was particularly obsessed with leg training, believing that if the legs are strong enough, the upper body muscles and legs will also become stronger.

Let's take another look at Tom Platz's strong legs!

Tom Platz is very passionate about bodybuilding and participated in bodybuilding as a coach after retirement. He continued to train and maintain a good condition. Nowadays, many people think that bodybuilders are unhealthy and that having very large muscle blocks can damage the body. The extreme limit sports of bodybuilding seek the limit of the human body, which is a test for the human body. However, the condition of early bodybuilders was not bad. For example, we know that Schwarzenegger was still strong at 73 and Tom Platz at 63 was doing deep squats in a gym, still using a 330kg barbell to practice.

Tom Platz's favorite exercise was deep squats, which he believed were the best leg exercises, and it was not easy to perfect deep squats.

He shared the advantages and points of deep squats with young people in his 60s, paying attention to every detail of deep squats, and striving for perfection.
