I started training cause of dannyDickerson, Zane, Padilla, Mentzer and Coe for top 5 for me. Not necessarily in that order, and hard to tell with the old video quality. They all looked amazing and Arnold was definitely not the winner of that show. If Tom had more upper body to match his amazing legs he would be the man. As a short guy I've always loved Danny's look. The OG Giant Killer.
Danny and Lee are two of my faves. But, when I first started training back in the day with my dad he was a huge Platz fan. So he’s up there too. He was telling me yesterday about seeing him at the ‘81 Olympia the next year. Another situation where they gifted Columbo the title and either Platz or Dickerson should have easily won.I started training cause of danny
I still do the 5x 12 like him
I saw Tom just prior to that Olympia at a private posing “exhibition”. His best package ever.Danny and Lee are two of my faves.
