from markus-ruehl.de:
hey markus. how did you tear your chest?
I have heard a lot of rumors about this theme.
But I like to make this clear. I never tore my chest!
Usually a chest does not tear in the middle.
Maybe my chest looks different, because I was harder than the last years.
Actually I have no idea.
>>the first shot is from Olympia 2005 (when he came in "off" and watery)
*note nobody acused him of having a tear at this point so it's unknown if
he even had a tear on his pec.
>>the next is from ASC 2007, apparently much drier and leaner...
is the chest torn or not? you be the judge...
-
I hope it's not a tear.
It would be a shame to mar an aesthetic physique like that. ::)
-
Damn looks ugly :(
-
obviously he just ran out of synthol and forgot to fill out that part of his pec ::)
-
Bye bye bodybuilding :D Nobody likes to look at a torn pec. Simply gross.
-
You can almost see a gap starting to form in that first pic from 2005. I don't know what's happened to his chest but it reminds me of Scott Steiner's.
-
Ever watch his Made in Germany? The tear, if it was tore, was probably due to that rediculously wide grip of his on the incline! Get above 495 w/that wide of grip,,,somethings gotta give!

That's what people told Tony freeman and look at him....also never got it fixed and it isn't a "simple tear" either.

Yes, Freeman did indeed get his tear fixed. Took him five years to do it, but check your facts prior to posting. :)

It's pretty damn difficult to have a pec tear from the sternum!

i would go as far as to say it is impossible.

absolutely.
something is going on there.
he even said in MD when he and wolf were on the cover that he tore something but didnt want to say which part.

No problem. I was just going on the fact that it doesn't look like he had it fixed so it must have been real, real bad. Either way, he won with a bad looking pec (looks torn now) as did kevin, although levrones didn't look too bad.
Marcus' looks like scott steiner's.

I'd be askin' about his delts... looks like he has incisions on each delt now.. draining excess fluid??????

yeah i've always wondered about that!
he's got like a gash/scar on his shoulder(S)
freakin wierd.
but on the subject of his chest, you only see it in one pose mainly. surprisingly he hides it well on stage.

He's full of shit. You can clearly see the inner pec tear on his chest in the pics. Its kinda starting to look like wrestler Scott Steiner's "hole in the centre of the chest" look.

the 'right' part of the chest seems the most affected...its really strange. If its a tear or not i dont know, but i dont think it will get back to normal...
yeah, his grip its the widest i ever saw!!!!

I feel like the german juggernaut is fading away from the placings these days. Markus should have a good 4 years left before hanging his trunks, but He's still a true mass monster

he should man-up. get surgery. take the necessary time off and raise that kid wit his wife, like he wanted. he will have plenty of time to do so while he's healing. then come back for a few good showings in early 2009 or a little later. Going on like this, he can only run himself into the ground...

does anyone believe that ruhl's english is that good?
i got a few emails from him a few years ago.
he types as he speaks.

Same thing appears on Scott Steiner.
Something related to drugs or for sure.

i doubt that. drugs don't detatch/tear muscle fibers all by themselves.
-
steiner at the height of NWO's popularity said in an interview with ironman that he can bench 675.
maybe he tried and that explains his chest.
::)
that shot of ruhl is horrible. looks like palumboism is setting in.
so sad.

Drugs do NOT cause muscle tears.

all pros lies about their injuries. I remember reading in MD that when Branch Warren tore his tricep he didnt tell anyone about it cause if the judges would have seen it he might have been scored down for it.
that gap in Ruhls chest has been getting bigger since 2004. I suspect nerve damage.

why is it that the only pro-bodybuilder with this issue is him? is it abnormal for a tear to happen there? howcome guys like branch, JOJ, and ronnie (who train kind of bad also) didn't tear it like that, or even at all...luck i guess...?
the only other example is scott steiner. but he's just dumb so we do expect him to destroy his body as time goes on. usually bodybuilders are more cautious...
-
Probably impaired blood flow to that part of the muscle so it is atrophying. Maybe due to nerve damage or built up scartissue. But most likely he is delusional enough to think that if he is not admitting this or that it was a tear, he will get away with it... He is done.
-
Steroids Indirectly cause the tear.
-
Hmmm?
-
Steroids Indirectly cause the tear.
how? they don't weaken muscle fibers or anything like that.
the guy would have done the same thing to himself natural or not.
the way he trains is the way he trains, the resistance of his muscle fibres
to movement and stretching is the same.
if you mean by him being so jacked on Anabolics that he thought he could lift more than he usually does, and then injured himself. then you might have a point.

It's possible to have muscles & tendons grow disproportionately due to AAS. This could lead to injury...
-
look at him before!
fantastic chest here (i think NOC)...it's a shame!
a chest cannot do what it did in ruhl's case
just from old age or time...bullshit.
the guy is lying about not tearing it...

He;s right they indirectly can play a role. The tendons and ligaments, tissues that hold muscle to bone, do not strengthen in relation to the muscles, causing them to tear, sometimes off the bone! Just cause you big does not mean you can withstand the added pressure from the heavier weights.

Best conditioning ever for markus, he looked awesome when he did those setendidiol(sp) advertisements around the same time.

Hasn't hurt Toney Freeman.
But Markus...come on...you and Ronnie BOTH have torn muscles. I'm getting sick of hearing this "nerve damage" excuse.

Toney Freeman's situation is totally different; his is your typical pec tear. Markus may actually have some type of nerve damage similar to Scott Steiner, as they both have this abnormal gap in their inner chest.
-
this is a tear. Simple as that. why is there any debate?
-

Because it is basically unheard of, from what I understand, to tear your pec from the sternum. It obviously looks like a tear, but how is there any way of knowing that it isn't due to some type of nerve damage.
-
"nerve damage" does not make muscle suddenly dissapear. when it tears away from its attachment point it does. Why would you say this is unheard of? just because you havent heard of it. Any muscle can tear at any attachment point.
its a small tear. move on.
-

steroids "indirectly" do as in? ... oh do you mean that when you have 'too much muscle' that tendons and ligaments do not adapt to the weight being used and sometimes bear the load in some parts of a movement and tear off the bone/snap?
oh is that what you mean? oh in that case yeah you're probably right.
explain yourself next time plz.

Do you think this is a tear?

Bump for answer

... and your reason for calling Scott dumb is...?
-
This issue needs to be solved..
Someone, please find an example of someone who has had a sternum pec tear! If this can't be done.. Ruhl probably looks that way because of nerve damage or scar tissue
-
It appears to be some sort of atrophy.
