UTom Platz wazalwa ngoJuni 26, 1955 kwelinye lamazwe aseMelika - e-Oklahoma. Lapho umfana eneminyaka engu-10 ubudala, abazali babengafuni indodana yabo ihlale kanjalo, benza isinqumo - vumela uTom aqale ukudlala ezemidlalo. Bathenga ama-simulators kanye nencwajana enemininingwane yokuqeqesha uJoe Weider odumile - indoda eyasungula umqhudelwano ohlonishwayo kaMnu. Olympia. UTom ukhishwe wumsebenzi omusha wokuzilibazisa waze wanikela ngaso sonke isikhathi sakhe samahhala kuye.
Ukuqeqeshwa kwaqhubeka, kepha kuze kube manje kuphela ezingeni le-amateur. Umzimba kaTom kancane kancane waqala ukuthatha isimo sezemidlalo. Ngokushesha, ngengozi, kwavela umagazini emehlweni alo mfana, owawunomakhi womzimba uDave Draper. UTom wathandana ngokoqobo nemisipha yakhe, wafuna masinyane ukufana nalomakhi womzimba. Futhi lapha, mhlawumbe, singanikeza ukuqala kombiko, lapho uTom enqume ngokungathí sina ukuqala ukwakha umzimba.
Isikhathi esithile, umfana wavuthwa futhi wanquma ukuthuthela eCalifornia. Futhi lokhu akuyona into engaqondakaliyo - lapho waqeqeshwa nomlisa ofanayo kusuka kwikhava, uDave Draper. Ngaphezu kwakhe, uTom wayebuye abe ngumfundi ka-Arnold Schwarzenegger odumile. Ngokuxhumana noMnu. Olympia, wafunda lukhulu kuye.
Uma ubheka uTom Platz, unaka imilenze yakhe ngokungazibandakanyi - zishontshiwe kangangokuba umbuzo uphakama ngokushesha: uyigqoka kanjani ijini noma ibhulukwe, akudabuki ngempela? Eqinisweni, ezinye izifiso empilweni yomsubathi zixhumene naleli cala - ngoba ubengeke angene kahle ku-jean, futhi lonke ibhulukwe aligqoke ngokushesha laphambuka eseams, kwadingeka agqoke "ibhulukwe" futhi ahambe kuphela kuzo. Yebo, ngokusobala izivivinyo ezithandwa kakhulu nguTom kwakuyizikwele. Ngendlela, ngithanda ukuqaphela ukuthi uhlelo lwakhe lokuqeqesha lungabizwa ngokweqile - walengisa ama-pancake ayisithupha angama-20 kilograms ohlangothini ngalunye lwe-barbell futhi waqala ukugcwala ngesisindo esinjalo waze wacishe “wadlula” ngokuphelele. Vele, ukuqeqeshwa okunjalo kwaholela eqinisweni lokuthi imisipha yakhe yayibuhlungu njalo ngobuhlungu, kepha umsubathi akazange akunake lokhu. Inhloso yakhe enkulu kwakuwukuba ngumpetha kwezokwakha umzimba.
Ngenkathi uTom ebamba iqhaza emqhudelwaneni kaMnu Olympia, amajaji ayevame ukumkhuza ngemilenze yakhe - athi wephule imithetho yokulinganisa. Ngendlela, umsubathi sonke isikhathi sokubamba iqhaza kulo mncintiswano akakwazanga ukunqoba isihloko esikhulu. Ngemininingwane yakho: ngo-1981 wathatha indawo yesithathu kuphela, ngo-3 - indawo yesi-1982, ngo-6 - indawo yesi-1984, ngo-9 - endaweni yesi-1985, ngo-7 - endaweni yesi-1986.
Ngemuva kokuthatha umhlalaphansi kwezemidlalo, uTom wazinikela ekulingiseni. Uqale ukulingisa kumafilimu. Ngokuyinhloko, abaqondisi bamnikeza izindima zabaseshi noma zezigebengu. Lokhu akuzange kumkhathaze nakancane umsubathi.
Ngenkathi uPlatz ehlanganyela ekulingiseni, umkakhe wavula isikhungo sokuzivocavoca. Futhi-ke konke okuhlangenwe nakho nolwazi lukaTom kwaba wusizo kuye - waqala ukuqeqesha izivakashi zeklabhu. Kamuva wajoyina i-International Association of Sports Sciences, waba yinhloko yomnyango wokwakha umzimba.
