Tom Platz Legs

What happened to Tom Platz? Remember the old Muscle & Fitness Magazines with his legs?

For those of you who do not know Tom, I have added his picture below.

I just read Wikipedia on Tom and it said that he now lives in Scottsdale Arizona and supplements his income as a salesperson at Airpark Chrysler Jeep.

I cannot believe it. The famous Tom Platz is a car salesman. Poor Tom. Goes from the famous story of showing up in Southern California with $50 in his pocket and being an Olympia contender to being a car salesman. Thanks Joe Weider. I guess you got all the money.

UPDATE : Tom now holds a leadership position with PROPTA, an association of Professional Personal Trainers. So he either moved, or will soon move back to LA, where he belongs! It was kinda sad to hear he was selling cars in Scottsdale. I live near there but didn’t go to see him, I might have cried!! He was/is one of the bodybuilders that has inspired more people to get into bodybuilding than any others. He’s right up there with Arnold, Lou, and just a handful of others. Check out the PROPTA website for more details. I have no affiliation with PROPTA. Just a Platz fan….

I’m pretty sure he’s running a gym now.

This isn’t true. Tom has never been a car salesman. Someone entered false information on Wikipedia.

But while I’m here, has anyone got recent pictures of Tom’s legs by chance? Just curious.
