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

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.

Tom Platz squatted every two weeks as follows : working up to 600 x 15 on his heavy day, 405 x 30 on his light day. No man knows pain like Tom. I love him for his enthusiasm, intensity and pure love for the sport. Yates repeated that Tom wanted the judges to say, “What the f&ck is that? “. I’m sure that and we’re seeing a being from another planet. Rock on Tom.

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 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.

@@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. Tom Platz went through all that pain and grew from it, it made him the legend we know and love.

i mean dorian did hence why he’s known as one of the most intense training bodybuilders ever, he also had a way better physique than Tom. I mean fair play to Tom he’s a legend and his legs were other worldly but put him and Dorain on stage, we’d know who’d come out on top.
