Heavy Deadlifts In The Golden Era - Tom Platz and Franco Columbu

For lifters of that era, the deadlift was foundational in their teenage years, forming the base they built on during their powerlifting days. And for some, golden era legends like Platz and Franco it never left their back routine. You're on your own. You're supposed to be strong. No machines, no assistance, just you and .. the bar on the floor. This was pure strength, the kind of strength that couldn't be faked. Few showed that better than Franco, a brutally powerful man of the golden era, each set was a step closer to a higher load, and when you think he would be done, he would step it up another plate. Only heavy training makes a guy win. Mr. Olympia. There's no way out. I wanted to my deadlifts with no straps because I said if you do straps you like you become a robot, now you're becoming an Iron Man. It comes Natural, Real. . And that made me feel so good and feel like I can lift anything with these hands. #Deadlifts #GoldenEra #BackDay
