People always say that Marcus Ruhl was not symetrical, and that's true. But let's face it, other guys won the Mr. Olympia with crap symetry, like Yates and Coleman in their later wins.
I've seen Ruhl come in huge and more ripped than any other guy on stage. If they are gonna give the Olympia to big bloated pieces of shit, why no give it to RUHL, the king of big bloated freaks.
-
Maybe he needs to take up acting. ::)
-
He didn't suck up to any officials? ::)
-
oil all in body ;)
-
It's cause he is Euro.
But really he doesn't need a medal to be a champion.
-
Uncrowned Mr Olympia. No doubt about it.
-
The most underrated bber of all time. It's all politics. Bbing is not judged objectively. :(

:o

webcake proves me correct yet again with those stunning images. :o

beacsue shape with marcus was not as good as other mass monsters like dorian, nasser, and ronnie..

hahah i remember people use to post a pic of ruhl doing a lat spread from that show and chick actually claimed it was a fake pic. All those pics i just posted are screen shots from the video.

Why did markus lost to nasser at 2000 mr olympia? ??? ??? ???(http://muscletime.com/index.php?option=com_joomgallery&func=watermark&catid=20561&id=41136&Itemid=202)

I was there for that show. Was hoping Ruhl would beat Cutler :'(

I see more Oil in those pics than a global shot of the Middle east

Because the IFBB does not hold fuking "contests". Those "contests" are as much a competition as WWE's wrestling matches. What doesn't anyone understand?

c'mon Chick won the Masters Pro fair and square.

Maybe Marcus shunned a judges advances in the oil-up room?
-
Maybe Marcus actually wasn't as good as people make out him to be. He might have been one of the biggest bodybuilders in history, but that don't mean shit when the bodyparts don't flow.

it's his tiny triceps and synthol biceps, and he always had lower back fat :(
-
Uncrowned Mr Olympia. No doubt about it.
On the contrary, there's PLENTY of doubt about it.
One, Ruhl lost just ONE WEEK LATER to a rookie, Art Atwood, at the Toronto Pro.
Two, less than a year later, he got beat by a FAR SMALLER (but better-shaped and proportioned) Darrem Charles as the Maximus Pro.
-
The most underrated bber of all time. It's all politics. Bbing is not judged objectively. :(
So what were the "politics", when he lost to Art Atwood in Toronto?
Or, what were they when Darrem Charles beat him in 2003?

Exactly...as if there was some conspiracy.
Speaking of which....I thought Marcus was a shoe-in for the top6 at the Olympia with Ultimate Nutrition coming on board, and MT out of the picture?
Amazing how all the idiots disappear real quick when they're made to look as stupid as they post

nobody besides mustafa mohammed has been screwed in the placings more times than RUHL.
the worst was in that grand prix show the year jay won the O...markus is standing next to jay and MURDERS him on each and every single shot, beats ronnie too, but still placed 3rd...and jay got 1st when he should have been behind both RUHL and ronnie.

It's not about Supplement contracts Chic, it's about Publishing contracts. You know this yet you always bring up this supplement contract bullshit as some sort of smokescreen.
And since it's about Pusblishing contracts your boy the fridge won't be given another Sandow he doesn't deserve this year.

Markus Ruhl 15th place, and Moe ElWhothefuckcares in 10th place lol

Its about whatever is conveinient to point a finger at by idiots on the internet...I was under contract with Weider when Marcus beat me for the NOC title...Plenty of un-sponsored athletes have won shows...and there are many other examples like Ronnie winning the Olympia in 98 over the much hyped Flex Wheeler, who was a Weider athlete...
-
Hi Chick...how's Maleah?
-
you're a bitter middle aged man
Chick is an arrogant 'I know it all' prick. If Markus Ruhl would have come up through the NPC he would have been Manion's poster boy and his career would have taken a much more triumphant turn. Markus killed Cutler at the 2000 NOC yet he lost. Markus destroyed everyone at the NOC in 99 and yet he placed 4th. He didn't even place at the 99 Mr. O yet he looked better than Nasser. The list goes on...

2003 Arnold was pretty bad as well. Ruhl took 3rd behind Cutler and Cormier lol.

Todays Pro contests are all about being a "monster" so wtf? Ruhl should dominate.

Hi Chick...how's Maleah?
Great...thanks for asking

Apparently, they're not...as the "monsters" usually dont place as well as the others

Ruhls places could have something to do with him being drug tested and others not.

uhhhhhh.....yeah. thats it ::)

WHY would they test only him
-
Marcus Ruhl beats Cutler and Coleman here.
He beats them everytime in my book
-
It states in the rules any athlete can be tested any time I guess Marcus was just unlucky.
-
Markus Ruhl has the best most muscular IMO..forgot what year it was he took the prize at the Olympia for that 02 or 03..christ for all I know he won most muscular a few times
-
He didn't suck up to any officials? ::)
Rewrote from the heart! :-\

Also this interview is very funny
# RA: Going back to the Night of Champions competition, what do you wish to say to the people who say you did not deserve to win?
# PD: I don't think anyone could say that, and if they do, I say 'Kiss my ass'. That's all I could say to them I don't give a fuck what they think. They could go fuck themselves. That's how I feel about it. What do they saw when I go into a show, and don't place where I should. Who was going to beat me? Who? Marcus Ruhl? Big guy. He has great condition, but does he have my shape? Not in a million years! Is he bigger? No? On that day, was he harder. Hell yeah...but being the hardest guy does not mean you are going to be the best, the winner, either. There are so many other underlying factors that people do not take into consideration, which is your balance, your symmetry, which, whether you are at your best, or you are not at your best, you are still going to have that. So that will take you a lot further than your conditioning sometimes. You know, you look for the bounds, then you look for the conditioning, so not because your condition was as bad as mine, then you are going to beat me. That is just another factor. If you can't beat me when I am at 60%, how the hell can you beat me when I am at 80%, or 100%, so if someone says 'Oh Paul didn't deserve to win', nobody's going to be always happy. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Some will say "oh yeah, he is supposed to win", some will say "Oh yeah, he is not supposed to win". The fact is it is done, it's over. There is nothing anyone can say or do to change that fact, all we can do is think about the Mr. Olympia, and I guarantee you, there was no one at the Night of Champions that will even get a serious call-out at the Mr. Olympia, so it just goes to show to the one who complain, just shut the fuck up. Kiss my ass once again.
lmao ;D

Because he looked like a square Huge abnormal shoulders zero arm thickness in regard to triceps or forearms. A boxybuilders worse nightmare torso too big for arms triceps in particular
-
wow its even worse than i thought, poor RUHL has been screwed in more contests than anyone it seems :-\
-
chick : explain moe el mousawwi beating ruhl at the 09 olympia.
-
Even Ronnie!!!!
Doubt it. He only beat Ronnie when Ronnie beat himself. Ronnie accomplished what Vic Richards wanted to do. Beat his true competition, himself.

Ruhl wasn't a US citizen. He couldn't come up through the NPC. The bottom line is that Ruhl has LOST to other bodybuilders like Art Atwood and Darrem Charles. So, why is it such a weird concept that Jay Cutler beat him?

that last picture is so sick :o

Again, what's the excuse for Ruhl's LOSSES to Atwood and Charles? Atwood (a rookie) BEAT MARKUS RUHL one week after Ruhl won NOC.

Interesting how Bob Chick claims to be 6'0", yet is the same height, if not shorter than 5'10" Marcus Ruhl ::)
-
LOL...do you have any idea what you're talking about?
how many times were you tested Chick?
-
Marcus' trademark width was at the complete expense of creating a pleasing and proportional physique.
It seems Marcus could not impartially judge his own shortcomings.....his arms and back needed a lot more work in terms of quality, while his upper chest and shoulders needed to supplement his appearance rather than dominate.......he needed to step back from the mind-set of being the largest Aryan bastard onstage VS "what do I need to improve to place ahead of these guys in front of me?".
Yes, maybe he got shafted in the placings, but I'm more concerned about his inability to put together a good package......he's a dumb ass German who blew his potential

Minus the part about his being "dumb", what you mentioned is the "politics" as to why Ruhl can lose to a much smaller bodybuilder like Darrem Charles.

No $hit

No $hit
Why don't you highlight the rest?
Your claiming that Ruhl didn't have better success (not that his career wasn't a good one, in its own right), simply because he wasn't an American is utterly silly. Again, the idea that his losing the Jay Cutler is so unfathomble makes no sense. I already listed two bodybuilders, that aren't quite Culter's caliber, THAT HAVE DEFEATED RUHL.

Comment on his 4th place at 1999 NC... that was fair?no politics at that contest?

NOPE!! Again, Ruhl got beat by a better-proportioned, better-shaped bodybuilder (i.e. Dexter Jackson).
And, that's happened multiple times, again see the 2003 Maximus Pro, where Darrem Charles beat him for the title.
-
Markus makes Paul look like a child
-
Markus makes Paul look like a child
And yet, Paul beat him. As did Dexter (who's even smaller than Paul), and Darrem in 2003, who's even SMALLER than Dexter.
Once again, Ruhl losing to smaller bodybuilders ain't some phenomenon.
-

Perhaps, but that doesn't mean he looks better.

I was at the 1999 & 2000 NOC. Markus destroyed everyone in those shows. Yet he placed 4th in 99 and lost to Jay in 2000. I was at the 1999 Mr. O. Markus didn't place... what a joke.. he looked better than Nasser. I was at the 2003 AC and Markus lost against Culter and Cormier. He clearly looked better than both. Markus never befriended Manion or any of the judges. He got the shaft so many times it is not even funny.
I was not at the shows Markus lost to Atwood and Darrem. So... I won't pass judgement.
I'm purely going by the shows I attended in person and I remember each time I left the auditorium I was so pissed that I swore I will never watch this crap again.

Does Ruhl have better shape and proportions than those men (Cutler, Cormier, Jackson, etc.)? I'd say NO.
The only thing he has on them is size. He'd have to be spot-on AND have those guys be off, in order to beat them, in my view.

Look... we can make a thread out of this just like the Dorian vs. Ronnie craze and analyze and speculate and what not. In the end you will only get your answer when you see those two guys on stage together.
As far as Markus is concerned I was at those shows I mentioned. I know what I saw. I remember the loud booing I heard. Nothing will convince me otherwise.

shut the fuck up already, theres a hell of alot more to it than 'aesthetically pleasing shape'...according to you steve reeves would win every single modern bbing contest -because NOBODY had the shape and proportions he did.
did Ronald have the best shape and proportions? no.
does fucking cutler have anything that can even be called 'shape'? hell no.
darrem charles should NEVER beat Ruhl in a bodybuilding contest, EVER.
Ruhl beats him on overall development, size, taller, wider, just as good 'shape' and taper, superior chest, delts, traps, quads, hams, calves (darrem doesnt even have legs AT ALL), biceps, back width and thickness, the list goes on... but darrem came 5% more 'conditioned' so he wins. ::)
what a bunch of bullshit
-
NOPE!! Again, Ruhl got beat by a better-proportioned, better-shaped bodybuilder (i.e. Dexter Jackson).

LMAO better proportioned paul dillet? are you serious?
Charles Darrem never made it to the top 6 of the olympia but ruhl did(next year-2005 he came bloated with lots of water shity condition and from 5th place he took 15place) btw what place did wolf take this year? from 5place last years olympia...yes when you come in with no condition you will lose to anyone.
Art Atwood never made it in the top 10 of the olympia the same year that he beat ruhl he took 12 place at the olympia but ruhl got 8th so what?
Markus beat dexter at the 2000 Toronto Pro Invitational soo what hapened there with the better shaped bodybuilders?
Its very simple Ruhl lost to artwood and darrem because he maybe fucked up the carb loading and was out of shape one week later after NOC just like cutler fucked up his last days before the olympia and lost to Dexter.

What about in 1998? Ruhl was 9th? Jonny Moya was 4th! Ruhl looked crazy that year too.

Perhaps, but that doesn't mean he looks better.
he looks much better, Dillet had the worst back of all the pros (and amateurs) and has a film of water here

But he has, and he's beaten him more than once, particularly at the OLYMPIA (along with his 2003 Maximus Pro win).
So, if Ruhl can consistently LOSE to much smaller guys like Darrem Charles, his getting defeated by Jay Cutler ain't that big of a stretch.
Spare me your whining and blubbering.

Yes, Ruhl did place as high as 5th at the Olympia. But guess who beat him there: The same guy that beat him at the 1999 NOC, Dexter Jackson (smaller, but with better proportions).
And, if you really want to keep score as far as Dexter Jackson and Markus Ruhl are concerned, Dexter Jackson, MR. OLYMPIA...enough said.

Markus makes Paul look like a child
Marcus does the pose differently. He puts his two knuckles together pushing his elbows and shoulders out. The proper way is to hold one hand clasped around the wrist. This brings the shoulder girdle together. The way Ruhl does it, gives him the illusion of width compared to those who do it properly. And he knows this. In fact, at that contest I believe he should have won against Paul. Paul came out of shape ( not conditioned), both in shape weigh 275-280. Paul I shape just looks better. Both have shitty backs compared their fronts.

Are you talking about the one who got in front of Dorian during the 1993 Posedown and caused a ruckus? Are you talking about the one who apparently hase "flat biceps", if you've seen video you know the joke. Thing is Paul was past his prime in 2000, and beyond. He had virtually no cartilage in his shoulders, numerous operations on the shoulders, doctors telling him to stop competing.
But I think had he trained harder his ass would have dwarfed every living pro bber during his competitive yrs. But he didn't, just like Ruhl will fade into the distance...being beat by a inferior Evan Centopani.

How much mass can one guy put on??? :o
Imagine how Ruhl would have wiped the floor with those tiny tits at the Arnold stage today. :D

He always gets jacked by judging not sure why..BB today is all about monsters.

But he has, and he's beaten him more than once, particularly at the OLYMPIA (along with his 2003 Maximus Pro win).
So, if Ruhl can consistently LOSE to much smaller guys like Darrem Charles, his getting defeated by Jay Cutler ain't that big of a stretch.
Spare me your whining and blubbering.
none of those guys actually beat him. the judges placed them ahead, thats all.

WRONG!!
Atwood (A ROOKIE) beat Ruhl, one week after Ruhl's glorious win at the 2002 NOC.
And, Charles beat him for the 2003 Maximus Pro, bottom line.
As I've stated, Ruhl's losing to smaller bodybuilders is hardly a surprise. It's happened quite frequently.
