Have you already or have you considered doing an episode about extreme weight loss and the potential of excess skin, and if there is really anything that can be done about it besides surgery and the phycology aspect that may hold one back from losing weight at all because they don't want to put I. So much work just to end up flabby skin and feeling as bad about themselves as when they were overweight

[@StonemetzStrength]

Dr. Mike! I'd love to see a rebuttal on Marc Lobliner's (Tiger Fitness) recent video about creatine loading!

[@InfamouslyCantankerous]

@RenaissancePeriodization- not sure If mike or the team there will see this or anyone with proper knowledge I'm getting into the gym after a long time. I had several reconstructive surgery's on my knee particularly a crush tibial plateau. I have full range of motion in my left knee but about 90% or slightly less in my right but I want to squat or do a similar exercise that works thr same muscles does anyone have any recommendations to do it and do it properly I know I need to work on stretching but I really want to be able to perform those types of exercises if anyone has advice please let me know I want to get back Into the gym I want to work hard but also safe.

@@shayanahmed7132 Agreed. He realised he could hide it and Arnold exposed him. 1981 Olympia was one of his best appearances and I think it should've been his Olympia to win, Franco shouldn't have even been stage, small legs and severe gyno. Yet he won due to Arnold's influence and corruption. Heartbreaking for Platz once again, yet he never stopped trying, that's why he was known as the people's champion. Think, how the same thing happened to Mentzer in the '80 Olympia, and he completely quit bodybuilding, fell down a dark path with substance abuse and died in his 40's, still bitter about the 1980 Olympia.

I used to train at Venice Beach Gold’s and saw a ton of legends: Ferrigno, Arnold…etc. Ferrigno was a solitary guy, not very friendly. Arnold would talk with everyone, and offer tips on form. But one day, I was on the wall of racks doing squats, and someone next to me was squatting with a trainer. The trainer was incredibly intense; yelling at his client. I rack my bar, and take a peak to my left, and it’s none other than Platz, red in the face, willing his client to push himself. The man has not changed a bit. I dared not to make eye contact with the legend, and continued to embarrass myself with my squat routine.

That hack squat variant is one of the best muscle building exercises ever. I've used it for 10 years with crazy gains. The trick is your ankles need to flex at the right time so the knees dont get the strain when going down.

I remember seeing a video of Tom Platz slamming the leg curls back when I was in high school. I was on the football team so we were in the weight room a lot, and I strained my left hamstring doing the same thing thinking that was how I'd get big legs. I didn't have a healthy hammy for the rest of the season because I was a dumb kid with dumb coaches who didn't care about letting you recover.

[@vasiliarkhipov2121]

Masochism can be very useful. At it's most fundamental level I believe the psychology is: the greater the pain and horror of the challenge, the greater the pride and pleasure I feel from overcoming it. The stronger you can link the pain of the challenge with the pleasure of overcoming it, the more you come to enjoy the pain itself. It can become like a drug. Which is why guys like Platz or Goggins take it to such extremes, they're chasing a high. Convincing your mind to embrace or even enjoy hardship obviously gives you a mountain of advantages in pursuit of a goal. In fact the Marine Corps uses this psychology extensively to help Marines thrive in the worst conditions imaginable.

I haven’t done a leg workout in over 6 years. I searched best leg workout for beginners, I watched a Tom Platz camp on legs and I haven’t left the gym in three days. I’m still sitting on the leg curl machine and stumbled upon this gem of a video. Wish I saw this one first..
