    Default The Golden Eagle TOM PLATZ! | 2016 Mr.Olympia Expo!



    Seems like there were a lot of requests on Ask Dave for a Tom Platz interview and it was good to see one here.

    Forgot to mention that Danny Padilla is in the background. Guessing Dave might not have spotted him as it would have been good to hear what he's up to as well.

    Tom at 61, I haven't seen him for a few years. He looks good for his age although he seems much lighter.

    Thinking the oversized suit wasn't helping in that regard. He had a forum several years ago and was selling a DVD subscription which I purchased along with a reprint of his popular leg manual. Sadly, the DVD subscription was a little pricey and he avoided legs until it was time to renew (which I did not).

    What is the deal with his wife? From the outside looking in, Tom is the most whipped man I have ever seen. She interrupts the interview wearing a full-on rotten bitch face.

    She wont let him come on International Iron because she doesn't like Lee..... are you serious? It's very hard not to lose a TON of respect for Tom seeing him allow his wife to run his life for him like this.

    Default Do a lot of Bodybuilders Wear Shoe Lifts?

    Given a lot of bodybuilders are small to medium in height how common is it for them to wear shoe lifts when not on stage. Looking at some videos the guys look at least a couple of inches shorter in height than they claim.

    Dave needs to get Tom on Live With so he can ask him the more involved nitty gritty questions of yesteryear without any interruptions ...still a good interview!

    I'm glad(but not happy) that other people saw it that way. And I actually felt sorry for Artemus, because there were a lot of people slamming him for interrupting Tom's interview, when it was clearly Tom's wife that inserted herself into the situation, and Dave and Tom took it in stride like pros.

    It did seem in the nutrition series of the DVD that his wife was a bit demeaning to Tom in quizzing him "What meats do we like to eat?" and stuff like that. Not sure how much can be chalked up to Tom perhaps having a "happy wife, happy life" attitude or in the fact that he was supposedly a little down on his luck when they met and she got him back on track.
