I’ve been 100% captivated by bodybuilding for the past two years, i’ve learned that it’s all that i ever want to do. My dad has supported me unconditionally all the way, and his support has had such an impact on my happiness i can’t even explain it, but this comment explains it perfectly!

Yeah I was ready for a standard parental support story; I was not ready for Dad actually going down to the basement like an Asian mom supervising their kid's piano practice. It seems Tom really inherited a lot of determination the way he responded to the weightlifter's attempt to get rid of him as an elementary school kid with an absurd request by actually coming back with the shoes! I love stories like that.

I met Tom Platz back in July 2023 by pure accident at a belt signing event at a local supplement shop near where I live. Him and I had an intense 30 minute conversation, and it still makes me smile and emotional when I think about it. He truly made me feel seen and that I mattered. Someone he had never met before, heard me and understood me. Every word he speaks is meticulously thought out, and laced with inspiration. There’s a warmth and kindness in his eyes and his smile that make you feel comfortable. He’s the kindest, most genuine person I’ve ever met. I’m forever grateful for meeting him, he’s a once in a lifetime champion on and off the stage.

These documentaries are great love the style and superb narration. Truly the first I've seen of such quality. Also, the fact that PED use is mentioned as a given is great as well. No BS and very forthcoming. That's what this sport needs. Regarding the subject, Platz has been a great ambassador for bodybuilding ever since I can remember. Very humble guy with a great physique.He deserved to place above Franco as Franco was showcasing what untreated gyno looks like. That should never be rewarded on an Olympia stage. It everyone knows the sport has always been riddled with politics and even more so back in the day. The Golden Eagle is for sure the people's champion

I'm 50 now, in erly retirement from work, and a year back in training. Platz is still my #1 inspiration, then perhaps Rich Gaspari who also is still built. I'm just doing this because I owe it to myself, I'm gonna be the best built female natty in my 60s, in honour of Platz.

You never disappoint and it was just so energising and awesome I was just getting something wanting to be released from the inside. The urge to already be at my peak on stage and inspire people, pose with ALL MY HEART. No other video had made me feel the same way as I just did now. I had the thought of becoming a bodybuilder the past few days maybe a week and a bit max... Thought was always in my head but after this video... I'm sure of it. I'll help people, inspire them, give advice and come in my unique way to the stage. Mark my words... If i dont make it with the other things I wanna be in life I will always have a plan B... Either I achieve both, or still achieve greatness and one cant be achieved without the other now that I think of it. I just need to make one thing work then im guaranteed to succeed in life... I'm currently on my biggest downfall of all and stress is getting the better of me, but I will rise up from this i won't give up like Kevin Levrone didn't... "Maybe your life isn't falling apart, maybe its falling in place" -Kevin Levrone Chase your dreams never procrastinate and always have a CLEAR GOAL. "Have the clear vision.

Tom is my all time favorite body builder and no one can ever replace him, he was indeed ahead of time with the things and concepts he did, absolutely amazing. Goes to show not all heros wear capes and not all champions have a medal to prove that they are. Arnold did those guys so dirty but you can't cry over spilled milk, whats done is done but Tom will forever be one of the greatest bodybuilders of all time. Absolutely legend video iron, i appreciate what you did here.

Man, further the video goes the more I start to hate Arnold for his bullshit behavior. The fact that Arnold told the judges about the torn bicep was a scummy move from him

Tom is a class act for being that kind to Franco. He was totally undeserving of that win. Even Arnold was more deserving of the 1980 win compared to Franco in 1981. Nothing on Franco looked amazing. His chest looked horrible. I’m not sure if he was knocked down points for his leg injury but he should have been if not. I really wonder why Arnold told that to the judges. Franco wasn’t competing and Tom never said a bad word about him. I sometimes wonder if Arnold is sociopathic.

When I was a kid in high school it was during Tom‘s best years and I was getting into bodybuilding as a 15 and 16 year-old… I got bullied a lot and I escaped through working out in the gym and Tom was my idol I used to study the pictures in the magazines and read everything I could about himand his training. Great guy.
