The Eagle was a show stopper. I get goosebumps watching this man. Many people say he didn't have an upper body which matched his legs, and I respectfully disagree. Not by any stretch of the imagination. He was in top form here to win the Mr. Olympia, as he should have in '81. His posing was ahead of his time, and like legends like Ed Corney, the Golden Eagle had his own style and a persona which was what set him apart. God Bless the Golden Eagle, Tom Platz. Respect.

It was always like that, whether it was a competition or guest posing, or even just showing his legs, the crowd would always go crazy, he was perhaps the most popular and loved bodybuilder in the 80s along with Arnold.

Unbelievable physique and incredible posing routine. Modern day bodybuilders have lost the art of engaging with their audience. The crowd is going wild in this video! The showmanship is rivalled by nobody. All hail The Quad-Father 🙌🏻👏🏻👍🏻

What I didn"t release was how young Tom Platz was in 1981 Olympia. He was twenty six years old, that's amazing. How many bodybuilders today have a physic likes this at such a young age. Who's !.

@the_golden_eagle unfortunately, no not anymore. The competitors were like gods, the fans worshipped them. We didn't have social media to distract and take away our attention and focus. All we had was those wonderful bodybuilding magazines. And if we were lucky we would get a guest appearance by a bodybuilder at a gym or local event.

The most controversial champion is Mr. Olympia, it is not clear why he was given 1st place, yes, there are legs, but this is not enough for the first place, the upper body is simply no, a blurry dumpling, or like dough, no proportions, no relief, and the right biceps is not clear at all what, the injury was and he constantly hides it

Was Platz early on some enhancing drugs? Looks like a bubble gut here.
