The dedication to build a set of wheels like his is once a generation commitment.
What would a man pay for a set of wheels like that?
I started my squat routine 3 weeks ago and am working my way up to my mentor Tom Platz

Squats will not even get you close to that

You better say hello to stupid exercises to isolate them muscles.

Just saying you are going to need more than just squats if you want that kind of crazy muscle definition.

FTR, I only do squats, DL and calf raises for legs. I need my legs to fit in my pants

High rep squats are a MF

It is interesting how close his feet are and how his knees track past his toes. Can't argue with the results

Besides squats, you are going to need to do a lot of hypertrophy work on the legs focusing on muscles.

Squats are awesome, but they work a lot of muscle groups and most BB are very defined and focused for results.

You are looking at a lot of squat variations (high, low, box, hack), leg extensions, calf raises, leg press, etc.

Tom has a lot of definition.

I get what you are saying, but have you done multiple 20 rep sets of heavy deep squats like Platz was doing on a regular basis?

You will get crazy hypertrophy from doing that

Dude must have either had an awesome tailor or he wore sweat pants for formal events. I’m not jealous, you are!

Everyone will readily acknowledge that as far as bodybuilding goes, Platz had the best legs but don’t call them “wheels”.

That dude wasn’t going to run anywhere. Probably awkward AF to do any functional movements whatsoever with those things.
