If this was ANYONE else i'd call, BS. But MARKUS is on a class of his own.
I don't think RONNIE could do it.
BTW Most mags are full of shit.

Markus Rühl is indeed stronger at shoulder presses than Benchpress or Incline presses.
But he love to do his shoulder presses in a smith machine (his incline presses also).
-
yeah markus has some rediculous delts.... I read in his newest training interview with branch that he he cant do regular barbell squats because his delts get in the way and he cant get the bar over them...thats when you know your a monster.
-
Even in shirts his delts where absolute dominant !!

his face is totally fucked up. and he hasnt done any full range smith machine shoulder presses with that weight. ::)
-
markus is one of my favorite bodybuilders. Hes really trained hard.. even when he was around 17-20 he was a very big size. I'm sure he will do well with his next shows.
-
Very unproportioned. Looks like there is oil in those delts
-
doesn't he do the majority of his shoulder pressing with a stand up machine? i have not seen him do barbell presses in his last 2 videos (not that i remember anyway)

yeah he likes to do those..but he does presses in the smith machine too..
-
Ive seen him sticking to the machines in videos but who knows..hes a bad ass but if wants to win big shows I think he might need to taper his proportions a little bit....
-

one way or the other he's got huge shoulders and he's a strong bastard...on the right cycle it might be possible

I like Ruhl, seems like a cool dude as bodybuilders go. I agree that he went overboard on the delt and 'cep oil.

for him to do 572lbs shoulder presses? no way...not any full ranges presses.

where is your proof of that accusation?

where is your proof of that accusation?
lol accusation?...dont be so naive..i dont need any proof to know he cant shoulder press 572lbs for full reps...
also, show me the video of him doing it then.(where is your proof?)

i said i wouldn't put it past him... i am waiting for proof

on the preview of his new dvd, they show a clip of markus about to smith shoulder press with 6 plates per side.

that's a lot... but it's not free weight...
-
but it`s also no "fake weights". I trained in the same gym several times. His biggest bodyparts (Delts, bizeps) are also his (relative) strongest ones.
-

are those full reps? i doubt it...probably one inch range of motion....
-

keep waiting.
..but ill check the trailer where he supposedly presses 572lbs for reps in the smith machine... ::).
and doing a one inch motion doesnt count as a rep.
-
I have the dvd. He does it full up and down reps. I'm sure hes one of the strongest bodybuilders today. Most of his lifts like legpress..shoulderpress. .benchpress.. all heavy weight. Never seen any other bodybuilder lift that heavy.

I can do that too. About to do something is a whole lot different than doing it.
-
Markus is a monster, whether or not he does full range sets, it doesnt matter because whatever he does it works for him
-
What is the name of this video where he does these heavy shoulder presses and is it available to buy yet?

Markus Ruhl-Made in Germany.. its been out for a while now. I have this one and its really good. Nice dvd.. shows you his workouts,shopping,shows and events,funny bonus materials..etc. theres a new one called Big and Lovin it but its still getting through production and almost in stock in most stores. I'm probably going to buy it when its available to buy.

I don't give a shit what Markus can smith machine press - I appreciate the simple fact that his delts are twice the side of his head! So are his biceps! He is a true freak, almost cartoon like!
Just one time, I would like to walk up to Markus and say, "Hey Markus, when are you going to put on some size?!" :o ??? ;D ::)

Well he was fucked in the Trizeps department; he even admits it...
-
yea thats pretty much the only weak part in his body.

no, it used to be....nowdays most of his body is fucked up. chest torn, back lumpy, biceps lumpy, legs smaller than before..
but in his prime, ruhl was amazing.

2005 was his last good year; I think his career is over...
Dennis Wolf will be the new German giant...
-
Maybe, maye not.....i think this year will show if Markus career is going up or down. I only heard that he was in June the biggest he`s ever been....
At the DVD "made in germany" there is no Shoulder Press with the 200 lbs dumbells (only standing shoulder pressing in a machine). Markus indeed is stronger in Shoulder presses than in incline presses. For heavy work he`s using the smith machine most of the time (more save to avoid serious injury),
In his gym in Kelsterbach (Ottwald Gym) he also have a dumbell stack up to 200 lbs, but i never seen him using that dumbells for his pressing exercises. I trained 10-15 times in that gym when i`m the the "Frankfurt/Main area".

Ruhllllll. Too bad he retired. The original freak. Long live Ruhllllllllllllllllll.
-

TRUELY Amazing.

He's never done synthol in his biceps or delts. Look at his pictures after just two years of training and you'll see his shape is the exact same as it is now just smaller. The shoulder presses are near the end of Part 4. It's not like a seated press or anything but a standing front press, it's pretty much the best movement to use the most weight on. Here's all the parts of his Made In Germany DVD:

He does 532lbs 8 times, all the way down and all the way up.

he has used oil in biceps, shoulders etc. he has amazing shoulders even without the oil, but that doesnt change the fact that he has obviously used oil.
-
can someone please tell me what caused markus' injury and what surgery he had to (temporarily) repair it in 2007?
-
Markus is the greatest European bodybuilder (after Arni)! He accomplished to live in Germany, but to have a succesfull carrier in the US.
Respect.
-
yates not european too?
-
Many pros dont do "full reps" on a lot of things. The point is they are big as FUCK! i.e. who cares! What ever they are doing its working.
-
Marcus Rules ;D
-
I think when people are slamming the PROS for not doing full reps or doing the reps and exercises differently than shown in the mags, they don't realize that they are doing this to keep constant tension on the muscle. Also, to build big muscles, you need big weights (doh) and using things like the smith machine is a good way to get the most out your heavy lifts, without injuring yourself...
As for the oil, i don't think there are many Pro's that have not used it, but i don't think that takes anything away from them. They still have dedicated their whole lives to being athletes. I personally use steroids, but would never use oil (synthol). With that stuff you only need to fuck once and it's, hello eternity...
-
Look at markus he has one foot in the grave his face is always read an he looks about 100 18 months left.
-

Was thinking the same thing..
-
Ruhl isn't even exploring his strength, otherwise he woul be even stronger than Ronnie. With 3 months of powerlifting training Ruhl (as well as other bbers) would wipe most powerlifters ass. Don't forget that powerlifting is for one rep, with lots of technique, shirt, blá blá... (I do powerlifting myself, but the funy part is that I felt stronger while I was bbing... all round speaking)
-
Agree with the oil accusation.
As for the shoulder presses - watch his last DVD... impressive.

Is that 230 kgs???? :o

He looks massive! Like Markus!

Epic shoulders bigger than your own head! Ruhl is king!
-
Always a fan of Markus. I think he is a great bodybuilder and person. But he is freaky even for the rest of the IFBB guys.
-

On the last set hes got 3 blues and 3 yellows on the bar. The blues are 20kg each. The yellows are 15kg each. That is 210kg total. Provided that the bar is 20kg it would make it 230kg total.

Markus didn't aged well.
