Heidi Fitzmaurice Hi Tom, do you think you and Rev Dr Cha will come to the U.K. to do a seminar in the future?

Tom Platz Hedi, Dr. Cha is working on several project and tour scheduling. If I were to guess and before the end of the year, there will be sone announcements coming out!

Guest Hi Tom. Are you currently accepting clients for bodybuilding coaching including training and posing? I saw on the website that you offer zoom meetings.

Guest Hello Mr. Platz! I hope you had a great end to 2025. What would your best advice be for someone to be successful going into 2026, not only in the gym but also in all aspects of life?

Guest Hope all is well my friend. I have a question? The biggest problem I have when squatting is the breathing. I tend to hold my breath during the squat and i find I run out of energy very quickly. What can I do to improve this….thanking you in advance. LeoSquats/BPFIBROS

Guest Hi Mr. Platz im 16 and i am entering a bodybuilding competition in june i am so inspired by you and was wondering if you have any tips for a Catholic young man soon to be bodybuilding. I want to be Mr. Olympia but ive heard that it will destroy my body and what would i do afterwards but i have a true passion for it. What are your thoughts?

Guest Hello Mr. Platz!

I purchased one of your original 1982 Mind Doctrine manuals! I recently received it in the mail, and I love what it has to say. It is very motivational and practical to me.

I was excited for it to be hand signed by you because that’s what the listing said, but I only see a printed copy. Is there any chance I could get it signed at some point? If not no worries! Thanks for the motivation!

Guest Hi Tom! I'm so glad you've made this avenue for asking questions here. Great idea! I started my gym journey 20 years ago, and the passion remains. A few years ago, I discovered your videos on YouTube; you inspired me. Thank you so much for all the tips. I have tons of your videos and photos on my phone. Squats are my favorite exercise; luckily, I have excellent mobility; my technique is similar to yours, with a narrow stance. I regularly perform 50 to 60 reps, and I've also bought some suitable shoes. My dream would be to train with you; maybe someday it will come true. I also have a question: Are you planning any seminars in Germany? Best regards and I wish you good health.

Guest Hi tom, my and some buddies are in LA, we wanted to know when you’d be here and if we can hire you for a training session, I am not sure how to get in contact with you for this.

Guest Hey Tom, I am very inspired by your motivation and drive to workout, also in a mental aspect. I’m 19, but I can’t squat heavy, I’m buying a bench press which I believe has a rack where I can learn, what barbell ft should I get? I believe I want to do the standard classic one everything does I know some people buy like 7 feet or what they are.

Guest - 2nd comment- I appreciate you as a person because even when I’m not there you motivate me to still be there sometimes and the main reason I can enjoy doing legs. I know it’s a little late but happy birthday man and thank you for all you have done in bodybuilding and to those you don’t even know impacting their life - Jeremy

Guest Hello Mr Platz, been a huge fan of you since I started training in the 90s. Our gym is the oldest in Lexington KY, the true bodybuilding gym in town. If you are ever nearby, (like say Columbus OH for the Arnold ????), I would love to invite you to stop by. That would be a highlight of my life! It would be a tremendous opportunity for all the college age kids to learn from the master in one of the Best Leg Rooms around! You will love our leg room! - Ryan V Ford’s Fitness Center

Guest Hi Mr. Platz,

I’m an amateur bodybuilder and I wanted to take the time to thank you for all the wisdom you’ve given out over the years through your seminars and training videos. Your squat advice saved my knees and blew up my legs in ways I never dreamed of. You’re a massive inspiration to me inside and outside the gym. Hope to see you in a seminar in person some day!
