About this program

Six-week advanced leg specialization inspired by Tom Platz, the bodybuilder universally regarded as having the most developed legs in the sport's history. His training is famously documented — high-rep squats (sets of 20-25 at heavy weight), brutal volume, and 2+ hour leg sessions. The program runs that template: heavy squat front-loaded, marathon volume work, and accessory development.

Four training days per week. Mon: Heavy Squat + Volume. Tue: Upper. Thu: Hamstring/Glute + Squat Reps. Fri: Upper. Two leg sessions per week (Coleman-level frequency was rare back then; Platz's era did 2x/week with massive volume).

Note: Inspired by Platz's documented training. The signature 25-rep set is the centerpiece.
