This should put to rest all of the synthol rumors.

Looks good - I think he discovered growth hormone somewhere after 1992 by the look of it!

regarding the accusations he used it in the delts----it's quite obvious his shoulders were freaky right from the get-go.

I see.

His delts and bis have that unusual shape, but by your pic, it seems genetic.

I agree.  Marcus had a large structure.  In that early picture  (was he 2021?), his shoulders and biceps are dominant with similar shape...and the triceps somewhat lag comparitively.
After a while, the synthol breaks down, right?  So, you'd expect to see some change in the shape of a syntholed muscle with time.  No change in Marcus' muscle shape.

I had, Condor, but did wonder about lumps in delts (like injection site abscess), although could be just that -  inject sites.

I've never really been to big of a fan of Markus. his physique is nothing close to what I want to achieve. He is huge and in great shape thats forsure.

Can't say that's what most guys would strive to look for, but as a bbing fan, it's hard not to appreciate it.

how so?  it clearly shows how genetics played a part in his "freaky" shoulder development.  unless he was making injections in his shoulders 14 years ago as a completely unknown amatuer, showing only promise at that point.

unbelievable genetics... either you have or you don't.

I agree with you, but his training does have something to with his lagging triceps.

Markus is a super nice guy that just needs to do either close-grip bench press, close-grip floor press or close-grip board presses (he could use a phone book like Branch Warren does/did) to beef up his triceps.

In the last MD with his arms training detailed, Markus hit his triceps with different cable movements and extensions movements, but he does not say anything about any close-grip movements.  I think he could easily bring another inch to his arms in a year if he warmed-up with some rope pushdowns, blasted his triceps with 6-8 rep sets of a close-grip movement, and then moved onto his normal routine.

I only suggest this workout as I took it from what Branch Warren said helped him bring up his arms.

how so?? because of the fact that by looking at two before and after photos doesn't tell you whether he has used synthol, whether he won his last show or how big a turd he did this morning..  you'll need more scientific proof than that

Noone in the world will argue his genetic base..

All I am saying is that the first thing that naysayers point out is his "odd" looking shoulders; the photo comparison clearly shows his shoulders have always had that shape.  If the "odd" shoulders are the basis for the synthol argument, which has been the case, this photo is evidence of the contrary.

Post by: rccs on December 28, 2006, 07:30:39 AM
As for syntholuse I can't reach any conclusion. Sometimes it seems he uses but if we pay attention to the las pic, his shoulders have striations. If we look to that 1991 pic we can see that he is the most genetically gifted bber of the present days, to build mass. People should also realize that is is very strong, this guy training olny for stregth would be a serious case (leaving the 16 reps sets and doin PL moves). He was born to do strength sports, I think he could reach the level of Mariusz.

I dont think he uses synthol for his shoulder.if he use it,he would use it to his weak triceps.

If anything, it'd be in his bis. Compare the shape to his teens to currently. They stick out an incredible amount more and almost are a different shape.
Title: Re: Markus Ruhl before and after pic
Post by: Figo on December 28, 2006, 11:26:11 AM
I agree with Kyomu, if he does inject, its in the tris.
I also thought the bis were "synthol shaped", but it appears to be a genetic shape if you analyze 1st pic in this post.

Agreed. Especially his right bicep. His delts are also filed with STP. That said................. Who cares? Dude just look crazy!!  That's the look most of us wanted when we first joined the gym ;D. Say it ain't.

yeah i guess you guys are right...Every other bodybuilder from the national level on to the pros uses oil but M.Ruhl(the biggest guy out there) doesn't...Ok...The guys shoulders are the size of basketballs with bumps and muscles that don't exist on any human...Maybe he's like that bull that got pumped up with myostatin...Yeah thats it...No oil at all...

These two comparison shots show my two differnent people....The only thing that stayed the size on the guy was his tris...

Oh yeah and he can't put to much oil in his tris now or even you people that have no clue about pro bodybuilding will have to realize that he uses oil....

This guy uses probably twice the oil that Flex Wheeler has used and also Kevin L...He is a water ball...Its not a shot against him, it just is what it is...

So what your saying is that if we can't show proof that Ronnie Coleman uses steroids or growth hormone then its a fact that he doesn't....

So Condor will you now start a thread saying that Ronnie Coleman is all natural?...How about Jay Cutler?  By your standards, they must be natural...

As naive as I sound to you, you sound all the more sensationalistic to me.  You are contradicting yourself.  You say if you can't talk to a pro personally then you don't know.  So I assume you've talked to every pro out there to find out that oil is part of EVERY PRO's "dozen things that they HAVE to do?"  Without having talked to Marcus personally, you're right, I don't know, but rather than assuming something to be true, I am going by visual evidence (the pictures), which is far more than you have for your argument.  Or have you talked to Marcus along with every other pro?  The point of this thread was to show how Marcus' shoulders held the same odd shape (albeit without the mass) 15 years ago that has started so many theories on his use of synthol.  I'm not saying it TOTALLY disproves it without a doubt, but at the very least, it makes a case.

His shoulders are only one muscle group...This man has pumped so much oil in his bis over the years its silly...He has been known to have close to 50 sites for oil alone...Some say the flex wheeler had over 100 sites...

But in the end you are right...Unless one see's him do it in person. Its all heresay...The more you learn about oil, the more you will realize that its not an exact science...Meaning someone can use boatloads of oil and still have striations that match Andrea's Munzer...
