    Platz: who can explain this pic ?!?!?!

    ok, most everyone knows that platz has if not the best, definitely in the top 3 of the best set of wheels of all time. now, lou ferrigno was a top bodybuilder, but looking at this pic it makes me wonder. i have bigger legs than lou in this picture, i dont understand how he competed with those twigs and why is there such a huge size differential between two pros who competed at the same time !?!??!!?!!?

    Those legs are pretty huge BB, and we've seen your legs. No comparison.
    I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain...

    I think he means the guiy on the far right.. They're pretty small IMO too, considering the rest of his body size.. This is why bodybuilders need to take over..

    well, lou is not flexing and he looks pretty "off season" to me in that pic.

    although at that time anyone that put their legs next to Platz looked like they had twigs!

    That's lou ferrigno on the right and I think it's just the shadowing and the fact he's not flexing.

    also, seeing that Lou has that beard I think he was focusing on acting at this time, not bodybuilding.

    Go watch some episodes of The Incredible Hulk, even through his torn pants you could see he was standing on tree trunks. Lou's NOT small.
    Rules? You mean we have RULES for that???

    if you don't know who the "guy on th left" is you should not even be posting in this thread....and I believe he (Tom Platz) is pulling up his shorts to reveal his quads.

    this was in 1983 i believe. platz was getting ready for the olympia after blowing out his bicep in training for the previous olympia. Lou on the other hand was in training for his hercules film of the same year. you can see that tom's bicep is shriveled up somewhat.

    lou and tom were never competitive; Lou's career was over as he went on to tv in 77 whereas platz went on to the mr U in 1978 after finishing second in his class at the mr america that same year.

    Is that picture in your gallery of you? If so, and please don't take this as a dis, but Lou's legs even in that pic are bigger than both your legs put together.

    I do not know why you are referencing his pics, it's quite irrelevant.

    He was comparing (asking about) Tom Platz and Lou Ferrigno, so what does BigBallaGA's physique have to do with this thread?

    Don't take it personally. BigBallaGA is just upset that his head is a bit out of proportion to the rest of his body, plus those braces aren't going over too good with the fly honeys.

    I think the picture of Lou has been doctored. It's not hard to do these days. He's legs look like the legs of a person who doesn't even lift.

    no it's not, look at the pic I attached, even though it cuts off his legs you can see at this time of his life his legs were not that big. He was not involved in competition, he was acting and his upper body was of importance, not his legs.

    ferrigno's legs were never his strong suit. those are his legs. and to clear up something,
    lou and tom were never comtemporaries. Lou won his america titles in 72- tom came around in 78- a couple of years after Ferrigno last competed. Tom never won the america but went on to win the universe.

    lou is standing somewhat sideways and the pic is a little dark - his legs are probably 26- 28 inches anyway since he is about 260 at 6 ' 5".
