Nasser had the total package in 98.  Ruhl has an advantage in width and maybe even taper, but never had the conditioning Nasser was able to obtain, so I say Nasser by a mile.

I'm a Ruhl Fan but Nasser get's the nod ... ONLY because of the FREAKY Conditioning Nasser was able to attain. Regardless though ... they were BOTH FREAKY ! Oh, and Today ( October 15th ) happens to be his Birthday ... FREAKY Timing, IceCold !  ;D

haha ruhl was great at his best......but he cant beat nasser when he was at his best.

nasser won the mr o 1997.

and if anyone seen nasser on the way 2-3 (looks like shit in nr 1) you will see how good he was.

Nasser was one of the best in the 90's. With historic epic battles with Flex,Dorian....
Ruhl never achieved that condition necessary to battle with the best. Even if he did ...Nasser was better structurally.
Title: Re: ruhl vs. nasser
Post by: affeman on October 15, 2007, 10:47:05 AM
Ruhl was awesome in the late 90s and early 2000s. Probably the best chest ever! And his NOC 2002 shape would kill Nasser any day of the week! Altough Nasser was better and more constant over a longer time, but best Ruhl vs. best Nasser, I'd say Ruhl. :)

nasser at his best would be better than ruhl.

he was always a bit soft from the back but still great for a few years.

nasser in the mid 90s was godlike.  he went to shit pretty fast though

it was more all the 90īs when he competed and some part of the 200īs (he won the 2001 AC if im not mistaken, and he was completely OWNING the competiton)

 just the last years of his carrer went downrill...but at least he saw this very quick and stoped

Nasser, no question.  His symetry and aesthetics were far better.  Don't get me wrong, they are both Freaks, Rhul and Fux in their primes would have been a better comparison.

Agreed.

ok i've always wondered this.

Look at these two pics. It looks like two completely different people?

The first pic he has spikey hair and his face looks very different, i would say much older.

However in the second pic (a few years later) he looks younger and his hair is very different. Anyone see this?

I would say nasser...

that infamous spread with him and fux in flex I think it was back in the day was around when I first started lifting weights seriously... I hadn't seen anything like that before, lats were like holiday hams held under the arm, shit was insane.
Title: Re: ruhl vs. nasser
Post by: bmuscle90 on October 15, 2007, 04:49:29 PM
I would pick Markus.  He was very big overall in the 90's and still packs on size.  Nice person.. not afraid to be himself around his fans or on his dvds.  He was around 140-150lbs at age 18.. so to say he was already big when he started lifting is wrong.  Hes come a long way.  A true bodybuilder.

this quote is taken out of context.  I'm not sure what you are trying to prove here, but Nasser is being sarcastic when he says it.
