Title: Markus Ruhl - How will he place at the O this year?
Post by: webcake on May 17, 2007, 12:46:19 AM
How do you guys think he will place at the O this year? He came 8th in 2006 so do you reckon he will place better or is markus going to keep placing lower. Apparently he is looking at coming in at 290+ this year but he seems to have trouble with his conditioning at a lighter weight so i guess we will have to wait and see. Markus is my favourite and if he could come in with more definition in his back and a lot more in his hams and glutes i think he would place higher. What do you guys think he needs improvement on?

A clip of markus at 340lbs :o Lookin massive!!(sorry its in german)

Thanks mate....Tell me about it. Like i know he has a few flaws but he really gets fucked over when it comes to placings. But after seeing the NY Pro results i guess its just something that deserving bodybuilders will have to put up with >:(

Look at ronnie's triceps, they're probably now even worse than ruhl's. Not too mention his calves.

He does but I think he peaked during the hysteria over mass at all costs and I think, unfortunately, became a bit of a scapegoat after the backlash. He was an easier/softer target than Mr O-to-be Cutler or reigning champ Coleman, although I think the latter will pay for that this year, too (both in his placing and health.)

I'll be surprised if Ruhl makes much of a breach into the top ten this year and that'll probably be it for him.

He needs to stay overly big (270+), otherwise he doesn't look right. Sad to say but he just needs to pump in those diuretics hope he doesn't get tested for them and come in ripped. He may risk his life doing it but he could be Top 3 if not win the O :o

that's all depending on how well his pec surgery goes. His pecs are probably his second best muscle group (after shoulders) so he can't lose the symmetry in those.

I know this will piss off squadfather but Markus is a guy who I REALLY believe was a hell of alot more impressive when he first hit the scene.  The pics from his first 2 NOC's he looked crazy in.  Now to me even when he's in shape he looks soft...BUT...I've never really seen him in person or on TV, only in the mags and an occasional video on the computer.  I remember thinking he looked damn impressive when they showed a short clip of him from the year before he placed 15th at the olympia-the clip was from when he was 5th, I was actually shocked by how much bigger he looked than the pics I saw.

as far as size goes, he's big as a house but again it comes down to the thing most of the guys today are missing and that's refinement...

In my opinion he facially looked like a completely different person in 1998-9 compared to 2006 or so.

Examples
1999

Huge dude, all the way huge dude.

I was a mass monster, but it seemed that at his peaked it was actually proportioned mass and didn't look terrible like some other bbers. He does have his pec tear plus some obvious synthol use to work around now though.

How do you guys think he will place at the O this year? He came 8th in 2006 so do you reckon he will place better or is markus going to keep placing lower. Apparently he is looking at coming in at 290+ this year but he seems to have trouble with his conditioning at a lighter weight so i guess we will have to wait and see. Markus is my favourite and if he could come in with more definition in his back and a lot more in his hams and glutes i think he would place higher. What do you guys think he needs improvement on?

Markus said several times in Nov. 2008 that he will never go back on the Mr. Olympia-stage, because "they" donīt want the real big Guys anymore....and he said "they can lick his a.."

He also said, that if he will compete again in 2009, than there are 2 Options, 1. NY Pro  or 2. The Weider-GP held in Berlin/Germany just a week after the Olympia.

So, letīs wait and see what will happen.....or not ???

hes subjected himself to site injections and ruined his body.... there was  a time he looked hard as nails with striations. even shawn ray commented how he should have won over dillet in that one contest(night of champions?). i remember reading that shawn walked out as soon as they placed him 2nd.

So it is site injections? When he flexes there is zero striations....He doesnt even need to flex because there is no difference between his relaxed stance and flexed stance...

the question is really...can he comeback in a better condition than the last Years ?  esp. his Backside

many Fans telling him how good he looked in his guest appereance in late 2008, but in my opion he looked very massive and his Shape good (for a guestposing), but not close to the best conditioned guys he will meet in a Top-Level-Pro-Grand-Prix.
