The Buff Dudes hit their latest challenge, the Tom Platz quadfather workout.
The Buff Dudes have created a massive following on social media due to their impressive strength and willingness to take on many different fitness challenges. Recently, the bodybuilders took on the “quadfather” workout of the legendary Tom Platz.
Hudson & Brandon White have built a following of nearly three million subscribers on YouTube. Their videos have consisted of taking on different workouts and challenges, such as Brock Lesnar’s UFC workout and the Hotshot 500. This time, the duo of brothers hit a leg workout of the Quadfather himself.
Tom Platz cornered the market on massive legs in bodybuilding. Training and competing alongside other legends like Arnold Schwarzenegger, Frank Zane, Lee Haney, and countless others, Platz is well-traveled and has gained a ton of experience that he uses for the benefit of other fitness enthusiasts.
The Buff Dudes Hit Quadfather Workout
Tom Platz’s legendary workout consists of workouts to hit all parts of the leg but focuses on quads. The Buff Dudes spoke on the beauty of the workout because “nothing is set in stone.” There is no need for too much weight considering the different movements and massive amount of sets and reps.
“When you think of the most famous legs in bodybuilding history, there’s most likely one name that comes to mind and that is the man himself; ‘The Quadfather’ Tom Platz.”

The workout began with squats and hack squats. The bodybuilder explained that Tom Platz would go off feel rather than sets and reps. This would also determine the amount of weight thrown onto the bar.
“The weight could go a little bit lighter of you can go up in weight. It’s variable reps. That’s the one great thing about Tom Platz’s workouts is noting is set in stone. You have to feel it out and you can choose either go a little bit higher in the repetitions or lower if you want to go heavier in weight.”
The workout continues with leg extensions and lying leg curls. The Buff Dudes went to failure, as did Platz, and continued to feel an insane pump in their legs.
“Tom Platz, he was very much an advocate of cheating so he would take it to the limit, go all the way, so you really can’t get any full repetitions again and then he would just bust out half reps, quarter reps, like micro reps. The guy was literally just pumping his legs over and over again.”

When performing lying leg curls, the Buff Dudes stuck to 6-10 reps of 10-15 reps. The final two exercises were variations of calf raises and they were also performed in reps of 10-15.
“I probably should have brought a puke bucket.
Tom Platz talks about working legs and the amount of volume he did but he said he really only worked legs every other week so really twice a month and that really makes sense showing how much he really does in each workout.”
The Buff Dudes got a taste of how Tom Platz used to train and destroy his legs in the gym after taking down his legendary workout.
