    Tom Platz has the most famous leg development in bodybuilding history, so I decided to try his leg workout and see what it really takes to build legs like his. With 43 sets spread over 6 exercises and a combined total of 705 repetitions, can I survive the Tom Platz leg workout? Watch the vid to find out!

    Awesome video! Reminds me of your OG ones from years ago. One thing that would make it better is if the camera person would focus on an overall zoomed-out shot during your reps. Zooming in and focusing on your upper body, along with moving the camera up and down with each rep not only is dizzy-making, but doesn’t let us see the entire movement so we can’t learn the proper form, which is one thing we watch for. Thank you for all you do for us!

    Major props to you for doing this one Brandon, took MASSIVE huevos to even attempt this.
    Question regarding sequence though:
    Would it be better to alternate between quad exercises and the others? Ex, instead of going 1 Squat, 2 Hack Squat, 3 Leg Extension, 4 Lying Leg curl, 5 calf raise, would it be better to go Squat- Leg Curl- Hack Squat- Calf Raise- Leg extension? That way you give your quads a chance to rest, while you torch something else. Or would that take away from the pump?
