Tom Platz has been, is, and always will be one of my all time fave BB!!!!! There is no one even today that could hang with platz's legs. Not to mention his work ethic is second to no one. All around just a great Icon of the sport....

That was Jessie Wilcox. He was a very good bodybuilder. I believe he is in the arnold encyclopedia.

a few more

I think the second is danny padilla. He had a great back and all around physique. I have a nice collection of signed Mr.Olympias from all except about 3 or 4. I love the old school guys and pics also and years ago I tried to dedicate my basement walls to them but they are hard to come by. I should take a pic of some of my pics. My fav is probabaly franco deadlifting with a great dane next to him. My second are those 1995 black and white pics of Dorian. Oh, by the way when they first came out that year, I just called a phone number in the fron of the magazine and they gave me Chris Lunds phone number which was wierd. I thought it was a joke so I called the number and it was him. I asked if I could get a set of those pics and he said no. He said that he was trying to work out selling them but I think him and Dorian had issues, not sure though. I offered some nice money for a set to hang in my basement. He has a foreighn accent, so Im guessing he is from Dorians neck of the woods. Neat story though

 

[mb97]

Yes Rep, sorry I meant to put the names on there. That is a cool story. I have my home gym lined with autograph photos of great bbers. I have a really old cool autograph of Robby Robinson.

LOVE those pics of Platz! He was the first Pro BB I ever met when I was 17yrs old back in 1987. He was giving a seminar at a new World Gym opening in Columbus, OH. He said he only worked his legs once a month at that point. They were STILL absolutely HUGE! Very open and up front in his seminar about his "sup" use as well, which was pretty enlightening. GREAT speaker and VERY positive & motivating!

These are two of my favorite pics of Platz.
