Post by: Matt C on April 06, 2006, 05:54:22 PM: The 2003 ASC was a complete travesty of bodybuilding judging. MD pointed this out:

1st - Mass monster (Jay Cutler).
2nd - Not a mass monster (Chris Cormier).
3rd - Mass monster (Markus Ruhl).
4th - Not a mass monster (Dexter).

Also, if Markus Ruhl is 5'10, how tall is Jay? 5'6? ???

maybe Jay really is short! Look at the shots of him and Markus as compared to him vs. Ronnie in 2003. Both Ronnie and Jay dwarf Jay in terms of height (and mass for that matter).

Post by: gibberj2 on April 06, 2006, 05:56:33 PM: nah man! Jay is supposedly 5'9" anyway i think he's 5'8" Ruhl owned him there. He shoulda won... synthol? Where?

could have swore this was the one, maybe not, just can't believe how much Ruhl dwarfs Jay in size...I don't think that is the case anymore though.

add heiko to the movie as well.

ruhl's back aint that bad. his back double bi could use some more work, but his lat spread is pretty thick.

His density and graininess is astounding; but that is not enough to win a pro show. As far as conditioning goes, Ruhl is the closest I've ever seen to Dorian's level. But this does not the fact that his structure has several flaws and that he lacks the crispness of detail in key bodyparts, like legs and middle back, to be a major contender.

Post by: the shadow on April 08, 2006, 09:42:26 AM: ruhl is one of the only guys wich come closest in matchin with ronnie coleman size wise( and o yes i don't give a shit if ronnie is more defined or not).ruhl does not have a distented stomach tho.although his waist is a bit wide.in terms of width and size ruhl is just a few points shy of beatin ronnie coleman in terms of size.but i still think the guy has alot of potential and i think so in our distant future he will b some day.MARK MY WORDS!!!!!!!some day ruhl is gonna b mr olympia.one of the best ever.he just need to bring his legs a bit and just get that dorian yates type of look in his back.there u have it the most massive mr olympia of all time.the one and only markus ruhl.....

I don't see how you can say that he doesn't have a distended stomach; have you seen Made in Germany? He even makes fun of his own gut in the video. Nevertheless, he is huge and does from the front atleast hang in there with Jay and Chris.

ruhl's conditioning was on level with dorian? did you drink windex a lot when you were younger? i like ruhl, he's huge and underrated, but one of his biggest problems has always been that he looks soft as a baby's ass from behind.
