No movie cutouts, no stock footage, or background music. Just an open, intelligent man telling his story. The motivational industry can learn from this man.
@@junk5354 Look at the 1981 Mr Olympia, and you will see the evidence of how politics infected the sport. Tom was never 'proportional' as his legs were monstrous. He is an absolute legend. No story of body building would leave, Platz, actually that is MR PLATZ to you. You are free to have your own opinion...you are free to be wrong about Tom. - Cheers
Mr. Platz is just a likeable guy and a great motivational speaker. I'm not a body builder but I find this uplifting. It's about so many things anyone can use.
Tom platz, one of the all time greats, bodybuilding needs more people like him. Well spoken, well educated, well behaved, motivational, inspirational, his physique was phenomenal, but a physique alone doesn't cut it. His physique and posing/presentation spoke for itself, is was art, but it is also a huge plus if you can talk to the public, tom can bring over a message through his physique and through speaking/interaction/communication with the public. Not just posting motivational quotes on instagram, but true speech about life, lessons about life, the legend, the eagle, tom platz.
Yeah, thats why I hate all the narcissistic and douchey youth today that do it for vanity. Like I'm in my 20s but when I see people just a couple years younger than me, I just get irritated by their behavior
@@marcodragneel8035 me and my friends train together from time to time and all we do is cheer eachother on and then flex together at the end, it's a nice bonding activity
I don't know if Tom remembers me, but I used to meet with him and his mother for breakfast (she was his manager at the time)in the early 80s in Venice during the end of the Golden era of bodybuilding. I trained at Golds Gym and met him there. He would have been at his peak in those days and I watched him train legs. Amazing intensity. The man was so articulate and inspiring. You could never get a simple answer out of him about training.
Probably the greatest seminar of all time, tom is somehow able to spit out the most motivating quotes i’ve ever heard while talking about his passions and dreams.
“We all think life is how many breaths we take. It’s not about how many breaths you take, life is the moments that take your breath away”. Man… just about everything Tom says is incredible.
that is nothing. I know a man who is 74 years of age, and still does 225lb squats for 25 reps, nice and smooth, and also does chinups and runs three miles, AND LOOKS LIKE HE'S 50 YEARS OF AGE. Remember, he's about 5 foot 5 inches tall. I have met him on three separate occasions.
amazing! being in my 60's I can barely manage 225.... lol.... always liked the mans legendary deeds with the squat rack. I recall he squatted for 10 minutes stratight with 225 or something like that.
I was lucky enough to have met Tom back in 86 when he guest starred a show i was competing in. He was very friendly and approachable so much so he joined me and my friends in the bar for a chat. Which i will always remember. A total gentleman and Legend.
Matze hat eine Lebende Legende Tom Platz zurück zum Bodybuilding gebracht(laut Tom Platz). Würde mich mal interessieren wie er drüber denkt und ob er weiß wie viel Einfluss er auf die Szene hat. Ein Video über Matze wäre auch interessant. Erfahrungen, Geschichten hinter den Kulissen bsp Wettkämpfe und vllt die wichtigsten Momenten während seiner Laufbahn. Super Arbeit mach bitte weiter so! Danke
Genau darauf habe ich mich auch bezogen. Matze und David müssen sich geehrt fühlen bei solchen Aussagen. Die harte Arbeit zahlt sich doch irgendwann aus.
This is the first seminar that I've ever heard where I was actually glad that they barely talked about training. I normally hate "motivational speakers" but this is an exception.
My father was a photographer when I was a little kid I went with him to a photo shoot back in the early 80s. I was blown away at the guys and gals he was taking photos of. The guys were what I wanted to be and the women were knockout gorgeous. I looked over at the wall at the gym and there was a picture of Tom Platz on the beach doing his iconic arm flex with the legs flexed at the same time.. I couldn't believe how awesome he looked. It got me interested in lifting weights. I never went after being a bodybuilder but I lifted weights to help me with getting some motivation to change my life. It worked it got me out of my funk and im only feeling good after I lift. When I don't I get depressed. The world needs Tom Platz. The bodybuilding world needs him now more than ever. This was a great motivational seminar. Let me rephrase that. It was a more from the heart talking to people in inspiring something positive. Not a seminar at all. What a great human being Tom is thankyou for motivating me to the next level man.
35:49 - 36:09 May sound controversial but man he is powerful to listen to and has an excellent point about carrying bitterness. “It’s like cancer….it probably causes cancer.”
Coincidentally, Tom Platz era was the last bodybuilding era that I follow. Listen to him here makes me want to go to the gym on the day I thought I should stay home. Thank You Tom
Tom is an absolute legend. A real nice guy. Down to earth. No massive ego like the other body builders. Very inspirational, backed up with life skills and knowledge. Solute
Tom Platz is such a wonderful, inspirational and friendly human being who is also full of wisdom. I could listen to him talk for hours. Such a privilege would it be to have him train me even just once.
Tom is so inspiring. All you young people out there, starting out on the road of Life - Maintain Tom's dedication, discipline, and motivation, and you could just someday, be a somebody!!! Good on you Tom.
This video was made about 5 years ago. It is a gem, as is many of Tom's video seminars. He has lived and survived a career in bodybuilding. He has achieve legendary status with those massive legs and powerful physique and has suffered professional and personal defeats. To listen to his story is inspiring and motivational. Bodybuilding gives you the skills needed in the business world. Your goal is to win Mr. O. You do that by planning your workouts, your meals, your posing, your complete presentation. In the business world you are given a task or goal and told to plan how to get there. There is also failure in bodybuilding, just as there is in business. But because you love bodybuilding you get up and do it all over again. In business you get up and do it all over again because that is your career that pays the bills. Sit down and take a listen to the Golden Eagle. There is something in his seminar that will speak directly to you, and you will be very grateful you took the time to listen.
I have just found this video clip and it is so inspirational. Tom talks with passion, intelligence and is highly motivational about life and bodybuilding. Thank you.
this guy is phenomenal. he is so inspiring and im so motivated. i want to thank you mr. Platz :) Honestly i didnt knew you before but now i see what i missed. keep going and stay focused, motivated and full of positiv energy.
What an inspirational video. Very personal, truly motivational. I could listen to him for hours. Tom Platz, in my opinion, one of the greatest bodybuilders ever.
Parental Guardian That's a stupid analogy, Arnold didn't compete in the 2018 Mr Olympia and even if he would try he wouldn't be able to bring the physique necessary to rival the others - therefor hardly anyone would ever think that he should deserve to win. In the minds of the vast majority Tom won the 81 Olympia being in the best shape of his life, it's what the majority thinks that counts in this subjective "sport", not what some crooked judges wrote down on the score sheet.
Vielen Dank RepOne! Platz steckt immer noch voller Energie, er hat viel erlebt und gesehen. Er kann aus seinem grossen Fundus von Lebenserfahrungen zurückgreifen. In diesem Seminar waren aus meiner Sicht viele positive Inputs dabei, nochmals besten Dank für das Video.
First two minutes got me !, he had the courage to follow his gut instinct despite what it might cost him in his personal life and without worrying what people might think , very courageous and inspirational
I had no idea how charismatic Tom Platz is. I saw a lot of publications with him before, bodybuilding performances. But I've never seen him from that side) I think Tom Platz would be a successful movie actor if he wanted to. Beautiful voice, clear diction, self-confident person. Respect!
Thank you RUclips for recommending this video. The more I listen to him the more I get motivated. This man changes my life and gave me a whole new version of me. Thank you Tom platz, Thank you Master.
Great video featuring one of the greats. His leg muscles were so developed there’s a legend that he could hide a quarter between his flexed quads. Now, he’s holding my attention in this very enlightening and entertaining seminar.
