    THE TOM PLATZ TAPE
    'You can't be sane and be a bodybuilder. You have to have that side of you that wants to go into the unknown, wants to explore things that everybody doesn't. [...] Well, here I go. Either I'm going to die, or I'm going to succeed.' - TOM PLATZ (The Golden Eagle)
    Well fellas, it was about time again to feature one of my most favorite and most inspirational bodybuilders of all time: TOM PLATZ aka The Golden Eagle. Let's talk about passion, mindset & obsession. There's probably nothing driving more energy to me in the gym than listening to Tom Platz. I mean, let's be honest: HE IS BODYBUILDING. Everything he's talking about always felt like it's hitting home. He's one of the reasons this channel even exists. If you know someone bringing the same kind of energy, the same kind of passion into speech, introduce me, 'cause I've never came across someone who's so passionate about what he's doing as he is. Definitely one of the few people, I'd like to surround myself by. Great energy, great teacher, most intense motivational speaker.
    Thanks for existing, Tom!!!

    Amazing video. The way it was put together, the background music isn’t all obnoxious, it’s perfect, allowing Tom to be heard. Thanks for the content.

    I’m watching this in the gym parking lot, I feel nervous for what I’m about to go through, I did legs 2 days ago and can barely walk. It’s chest and triceps today and I’m going to leave it all in that gym, I would rather die than lose to the gym today. I’m going to press 100kg for 10 reps even if it fucking kills me I want it more than anything in this world. I have that feeling that I HAVE TO FUCKING DO IT. todays another brick in my wall and I’m coming up, I’m back and il never give up on myself again. I want this.
