When Markus was in his late 20's he actually had a very good blend of mass & cuts & shape.

Then, these guys (Ruhl, Flex, ect..) started experimenting with synthol. It made no sense whatsoever.

i dont know his lifestyle, but yes, he does have that reddened, slightly bloated looks.  A nice mix of low volume alcohol, cigs, a little overweight, and happy.

my guess is that now that he's scaled down, we'll see him run a diet and drop 30 pounds of body fat like it's nothing.

his face looks odd.

redish, blueish, purple tint to it.

nose and lips are spread from gh.

looks like blood vessels around his cheeks and nose too.... alcoholics get that. not saying he's an alcoholic, or even if he drinks.. but, his face/skin looks no good.

looks to be holding a ton of water as well. i'd be worried about his kidneys.

I know he's german, and that may be typical... shit, my grandfather was mostly german and he had a similar look (to the skin... not the Rodney Dangerfield face stuff).

if it were me, i'd cut down to 500 test and maybe 4.5 iu gh and that's it... til I dropped into the 230's.

even Nasser didn't look like this in the months/years before he died.

Triceps seem to be among the first muscles to go on bodybuilders as they age.  Given the HUGE dumbbell he's using there, I can see why.  And still he's grimacing like a man giving birth. His joints probably ache from years of abuse via weights and syringes.
