Welcome to the first episode of Shadow Talk, the podcast hosted by six-time Mr Olympia winner and founder of nutrition and supplement specialists DY Nutrition, Dorian Yates.
Shadow Talk is a brand new podcast series that aims to answer the question: How can you be a better version of yourself?
Dorian will be welcoming guests from across the world, to not only talk fitness and health, but how to mentally and spiritually improve oneself. Hosting guests from not only his competitive bodybuilding past, but also from his own journey to self improvement, Dorian will ask the questions that will allow you, the audience, to take away valuable and practice lessons you can apply to your own journey.
Dorian’s first guest is professional actor and bodybuilder Tom Platz.
Known worldwide as Golden Eagle or The Quadfather, Tom is considered the uncrowned Mr. Olympia 1981.
In 1965, Tom was just 10 years old when he began to train, his parents having bought him bodybuilding guru Joe Weider's guide to training along with a full set of equipment.
One of the most infamous bodybuilders of the 1970s and 1980s, Platz appeared on the Mr. Olympia stage multiple times, competing against some of the greats such as ‘The Austrian Oak’, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Chris Dickerson.
Many will recognize Tom for his massive and shredded legs, which are still big even in his 60s.
Despite never taking home a first-place title, Platz gave bodybuilding his all and many argue that he should have achieved better placings throughout his career.
Notable contest placements include:
1986 Mr. Olympia – IFBB, 11th
1985 Mr. Olympia – IFBB, 7th
1984 Mr. Olympia – IFBB, 9th
1982 Mr. Olympia – IFBB, 6th
1981 Mr. Olympia – IFBB, 3rd
1980 World Pro Championships – IFBB, Mr. Universe
Tom is very well known for his extremely intensive training, where he would push himself hard and often to failure, much like Mike Mentzer and his Heavy Duty methods.
He stated that he never wanted to leave the gym knowing he could have done more, and when you think you are finished you actually have about 5 more reps in you.
He is still heavily involved in the fitness industry, passing on his knowledge and training methods to younger generations.
