But he also absolutely nailed it conditioning-wise for his standards, his best showing in years.

anyone remember that video shot of him he showed on tape in his "from germany" video? looks like he never archieved that degree of freakyness again after that. especially the legs looked out of this world.

Post by: Royal Lion on May 16, 2009, 12:08:34 PM
All 3 look great!  I hope DJ doesn't get overlooked because this is the best he has looked in a long time.  I am really impressed by Evan - he seems to have lived up to the hype although I don't like his front relaxed posture.  He physique is a breath of fresh air given his combo of size, symmetry, and condition.  His lower abs are funky in some of the other MD shots floating aroung though. 

Its going to be interesting to see who places where tonight...

Look like Centopani is the most complete bber judging from back shot.
But, Centopani looks way thinner than others two.
Title: Re: Evan vs. DJ vs. Ruhl
Post by: Royal Lion on May 16, 2009, 12:15:49 PM
I think Hide compares well with the bigger guys....he doesn't get as dwarfed as one would think.

Hide looks the best in the line-up according to all those photos.
But, watching it directly or watching video is always different from watching pics.
Title: Re: Evan vs. DJ vs. Ruhl
Post by: Royal Lion on May 16, 2009, 12:21:44 PM
I'm not sure what Hide's competition weight is although he was 211 about a week out.  IMO he would take the 202 lb class, although he and Milos probably feel they have a legitimate shot at the "main event" and I would have to agree with that.

1. Evan
2. Ruhl
3. James
4. Hide
5. Silvio

Hide actually looks better than James and Ruhl in some shots, but in NY, size usually prevails.

Review of markus from flexonline
''Marcus looks the best he had in years. His pec tear of a couple years ago is hardly noticeable and he's as big as ever. Detracting from his overall look though is myriad lumps and bumps not definable as muscle''

There you go...someone who can finally see clearly.

Ruhl is a ginat...but his physique is ruined and he has absolutely no detail.

what did Ruhl do to his chest to fill that gap from the muscle tear anyways.. silicon? either way his chest still looks like a mess.

If he comes in same physic as his NOC winning in the past, he still can be the winner in this lineup.

No doubt. He still looks great, but his pecs do throw his looks off in a couple of poses.

I think Ruhl's chest looks fine in the FLS and from the side.  But scroll up and look at his MM shots...its really too bad, but nonetheless the freak is back and I would say he has exceeded most expectations.  Same goes for DJ - he gets overlooked, but looks amazing!

Flex Online's reports are lame.  They also said that DJ was lacking from the back, yet in the pics I posted - both the RLS and RDB - DJ is more than holding his own against Ruhl and Evan.

Paco doesn't look his best but he's not worth a lower place at this line up in this competition in my opinion..

3.Hide
4.Ruhl

Darrem does look much improved.  I think Hide arguably could be #1 (of course the judges won't place him there) - he looks to be the most complete to me, has the best conditioning, and compares very well next to Evan and Markus.  Impresssive showing for sure!  I am happy for him.

It's not just you. I see it too. His upper arms are shrinking. His triceps look to be non-existant. His legs have atophied A LOT too..
Title: Re: Ruhl is CRUSHING those skinny geeks!!
Post by: shootfighter1 on May 16, 2009, 03:02:24 PM
I totally disagree about his legs, which pictures are you looking at?  He has the biggest legs on stage.  Some of the hamstring shots from the side are absolutely sick.

His abdomen was always wide but has slowly gotten thicker, that I agree with.  His triceps have also gotten weaker over the last few yrs, not sure why.  Otherwise, Ruhl looks great...not incredibly aesthetic but huge piles of muscle everywhere and pretty darn good condition too.
