Title: NY Pro - I think Ruhl deserves some props
Post by: Royalty on May 18, 2009, 12:02:43 PM
I honestly thought that after his decline in 2005 through 2007 that he was pretty much done. I also thought that after a 2 year layoff/retirement that he was going to look less that great onstage in NYC.

The dude come in pretty ripped. His legs were cut. He was impressive. And I will say that if he didnt tear his pec a few years back....Ruhl would have EASILY won the 2009 NY Pro.

The long-term use and training wears the body down; it's very apparent right now when you look at Jay's last couple of Olympia appearances.  Markus had a "fresh" look back then that he'll never be able to achieve again.  It's hard to beat up one's body over and over again and not lose something.

Agreed.  He looked better than I thought he would have too.

Actually conditioning-wise the NY-Pro was one of his best showings so far. He hardly ever had a grainy look like that.
