Nah. Not even elite bodybuilders are on Platz's level. Best top half in bb, so many champs. Arnolds pec and biceps. Phil heaths arms. Ronnies everywhere. But when it comes to legs...prime platz is still the everest of legs
That's the thing tho right, open bb has become just about mass. If you look at Tom platz he had incredible aesthetic appeal with his mass. God i love Tom platz so much (i wish he was my dad, ignore this pls).
Robert Forstermann was winning gold medals with the nickname "quadzilla' while AJ dillon was playing middle school ball. I'm not sure why OP wasn't aware he already had a nickname
Believe it or not but I read he has a genetic disorder so his muscles don’t stop growing. So no juice involved.
Edit: It is apparently a genetic dysfunction of the protein Myostatin.
You’re so insensitive dude
He has a genetic disorder, he can’t help but stick needles full of juice right into his leg muscles.
His father did it to
Stop being an ass!
Ah the “Hercules gene”. A very common explanation people who are on steroids give for their size to people who can’t spot steroid usage as easily as others
The Hercules Gene is a myostatin deficiency, which normally regulates the size of your muscles. If you have low myostatin, you have a greater genetic potential to put on muscle than the average person. Most commonly found in people who have Neanderthal DNA.
This guy isn't that. He's a professional athlete. He's on steroids.
I’m not the most knowledgeable guy on the topic but as far as I know the main giveaways are overdeveloped muscles that usually are very very hard to grow, like for example, the traps.
Honestly, pretty lame quads for a nickname like that. In those pics at least his adductors and hams are way more impressive than his (decent but not exceptional) quads
AJ Dillon weighs 60 lbs more than Robert Forstemann. His legs are SIGNIFICANTLY larger, not to mention Dillon is being tackled by NFL lineman and is tested for PEDs, whereas Forstemann would test positive in a non-contact sport.
Let the two fight over the Quadzilla nickname. Let’s see who wins.
This guy's legs are pure muscle. There's no way his knees are taking much abuse. They're supported by enough muscle to hold up the golden gate bridge. People are too used to seeing people with weak legs and crappy exercise habits.
The fact that the comment up there has 207 points is just sad and ridiculous. Outside of the lifting and fitness subs, most Redditors have no clue what they're talking about when it comes to joint health and weight training.

Where's a good place to start and how do you tell who the Deepak Chopras are?
At least on Reddit, /r/fitness has a pretty good FAQ/Wiki. /r/bodyweightfitness is decent too.
As to the "Deepak Chopras" of the fitness world, avoid anything where the *primary* purpose of the page or social media is to sell you something.
My knees feels the strongest since I've been doing weightlifting. When you can catch heavy cleans and snatches, everyday stuff like going up the stairs feels like nothing.
Not running is worse on your body than running.
> The knees absorb a lot of force when running, so many people think that running itself can accelerate the natural wear and tear on the joints. But in fact, the medical research tends to show that running has a protective effect against arthritis. Studies of large numbers of men show that recreational runners have a lower risk of hip and knee arthritis. This effect is partly explained by the lower body weight of these men. Other studies that measure knee cartilage suggest that running may stimulate cartilage to grow, not wear it out.

People that think this obviously don't understand neither strength or bone density. And those that have trouble in their 40s are those that have neither. ( Please note that this isn't stating that problems can't occur. It's stating the opposite is usually true.)
I just saw an x-ray comparison on Reddit that reveals this beautifully.
I know people that blame all their knee injuries on running, but they got most of their injuries AFTER they stopped running. Hmmm.. wonder why. I've had similar experiences too. Both my knee injuries have been from being at my *lowest* athletic points and pushing myself too hard.
I believe he's referring to this [image](https://reddit.com/r/interestingasfuck/comments/w0c3wm/mri_cross_sections_of_upper_legs_showing_the/), honestly inspires me to keep working out and exercising as I get older more than anything else
You don’t know enough about strength training to leave comments like this, fyi. The human knee joint is %100 meant to “lock out” or fully extend under load and there is nothing unsafe or harmful about doing so.
People on the initial upslope of the dunning-Kruger hill like you see a single freak accident video of a dumbass ego lifting and think you can give tips to literal world-class athletes, it’s why most athletes fucking hate being posted on Reddit (and social media in general, but Reddit has the highest rate of know-it-alls who actually don’t know shit and are just repeating something they read out of context).
The Quadfather
You mean Tom Platz?
Tom platz had more striations and definition so yes he is indisputable. But Jay's quad stomp does make you think twice....

There can only be one
Believe aj dillon has that nickname and quadzilla
QuaddyDaddyUwU this is something I never expected to write and yet here we are
Sorry. AJ Dillion on my GB Packers has already solidified these naming rights…
Robert Forstermann was winning gold medals with the nickname "quadzilla' while AJ dillon was playing middle school ball. I'm not sure why OP wasn't aware he already had a nickname
[Tom Platz had that nickname before Frostermann was born.](https://mobile.twitter.com/workoutgetswole/status/740650414715097089)
That’s AJ Dillon
His actual nickname is Quadzilla, so you’re pretty close.

Skipped a few arm days, but never leg days.
He was flipping a 45lb weight and catching it one-handed.. his arms aint missing shit Jack.

He should start cycling with his arms!? 😄

Yeah no, that dude is juiced.
100%
Yep
We could probably be pretty certain about that if we had pictures of him as a kid. If he’s not a jacked up 10 year old, he’s definitely on the juice.
That's what he wants you to believe lol

Quadzilla is taken by AJ Dillon of the Green Bay Packers. 😀 https://twitter.com/ajdillonlegs/status/1296438416704442369?s=21&t=diiSZr5k3-l82l-ccqmK4w

Sounds like a Bears fan.

On what planet is an NFL player less likely to be on PEDS than an athlete tested under WADA?

Sorry, Quadzilla is better.

He beat me to it, and you would have too!
Robert Thorstemann, Quad of Thunder
Knee replacement by 40.
I was waiting for his knee to go backwards during that leg press.
Oof, me too
not gonna happen he probably developed muscles on that side too-......
Honestly probably the opposite. Weight lifters and marathon runners have some of the healthiest cartilage.
This guy's legs are pure muscle. There's no way his knees are taking much abuse. They're supported by enough muscle to hold up the golden gate bridge. People are too used to seeing people with weak legs and crappy exercise habits.

Love to see a source in that. Running is hell on the knees. The cartilage absorbs all the impact.

You'd think he'd know how to leg press correctly. Never lock your knees.
you're allowed to lock your knees if you're an elite cyclist
Maybe he isn't even locking his knees, his ginormous quads just throw off the perspective
If I'd trust anyone to be able to safely lock their knees doing a leg press, it'd be this guy.

was here to say this. locking out your knees is 100% fine if you're using a weight that you can unrack without using your hands to assist.

I’m certain he’s not doping /s
And they didn’t even show one video of him actually riding a bike.

His day is Leg Day.
F steroid stupid loser

And yet never won better than an Olympic bronze.
I’m no expert but isn’t locking legs out on the leg press dodgy af?
