no shit...
-
Yes he did, biggest best pro of all time imo.
-
That challenge round was cool
-
This is where Ronnies natural width is lacking, delts gave him the width, Ruhls most muscular is more impressive because his natural width and delts
-
Ruhl placed 5th in that show behind Ronnie, Jay, Dex and Gustavo lol
-
Wow. That was surprising. He actually made Ronnie look small there. In fact Jay compared more favorably to Ruhl.
Normally not a fan of Ruhl- no forearms, no triceps, oil in delts, oil in biceps
-

Yeah it was. Gustavo must’ve loved it. Didn’t he beat Ronnie in a pose?

Beat them all

Ruhl is killing Cutler in the above pic his legs are bigger and more detailed his chest is also making Ronnie look small I agree his physique got weird later but for a very brief time Ruhl was killing everyone before they even knew who he was and he had "paid his dues". The problem is by the time everyone figured out who he was his physique started to decline.

BHANKS, Ruhl has nothing on you.
I think you definitely edge him out.

Marcus Ruhl Night of Champions circa 2000-2002 was phenomenal one of the best ever. He has actually maintained a lot of his size. He is 46 in these pics a year older than me. Yeah he is still a really big guy with really big arms(no triceps and oily biceps) but he is not exactly lean and he has weird looking tits and weird scars on both arms probably where they had to remove abscesses.
To be honest I think my physique looks a lot better at about the same age not as big but it's not just about size.
But yeah I agree if he had won the 2004 Olympia I would not have cried foul he looked great

One of my favorite BBs but he was definitely full of oil.

It had absolutely nothing to do with Ruhl being “unknown”. I met him in 97 and he was well known.
Ever since I first saw him I have said that if Ruhl had triceps he would have been damn near unbeatable. I don’t have the skills, but if someone could photoshop ONLY his triceps I think it would prove this.
Side note - I have never met any human that smokes as much as Markus. We hung out a few hours and I swear he smoked at least a pack in that time. I’m not sure if he was fckn around, but he said he would take a smoke break between training and cardio! Very cool guy.
-
Yeah it was. Gustavo must’ve loved it. Didn’t he beat Ronnie in a pose?
Gustavo won the Challenge round both years I think 05 and 06 I believe, he looked sick those years.

I was there for NOC at the Beacon - he was other world level.

jay cutler is the most overated sack of shit to win the olympia besides the goat fucker ramy and his gay lover hadi.
-
I was there for NOC at the Beacon - he was other world level.
The problem was that the accolades he got for winning NOC lasted all of a week. Then he went to Toronto and lost to rookie, the late Art Atwood (who scored his lone pro win at Ruhl's expense).

Once in a lifetime shape there.
Kind of an amazing tolerance for sides on Jay. He was chasing Ronnie for so long. Had to be insane amounts.

People don't talk much about Jay's apparent alien organs that can handle anything. Aside from 09' I'd put his 2001 look up there as well. he didn't have the mass to beat Ronnie in 2001 but

Hardly!! Ruhl looked unbeatable against modest or good competitors. But, at the Olympia against Coleman......it was hardly close. Heck, Ruhl got beat by smaller dudes like Darrem Charles, one year after his impressive NOC victory.

This ugly 110lb mulatto twink retard thinks he has a free pass at giving me shit now in every thread because I said I haven't read a post of his in years.

You think I wouldn't read your replies to/about me after saying that, dumbass?
"Greg Pitt attempted to replicate a sense from a movie..."
"sense" and "scene"
Look into it.
Hail
G_Thang, I really do appreciate your posts and insight. It’s just that sometimes you post certain words that I don’t quite understand what you’re saying. I can infer by reading the entire sentence, but sometimes I’m lost. I want to know though, so can you dumb some of these down for the worlds oldest Millennial? Thanks.
I've been reading getbig just about every night for years.
I haven't read a post of his (and PrimeMuscle) in years. I refuse.
If it's not about trannies then it's some incoherent bullshit with this guy.
Oh and he doesn't need to dumb anything down. He needs to smarten the fuck up.
Ye.. clearly a genius who needs to dumb things down ::)
"Sense".. Out of all the words you could possibly fuck up (King Queen of No Sense) hahahahaha
"This doesn't make any sense, it just doesn't, LOL! (Poon Game)"
Ye nothing makes sense to you you fucking retard (because you're a retard) and you've never made any sense.
You sound like you were raised and homeschooled by a monkey in the Amazon.
Before bumping your shitty ass thread again for the 58th time, you should go change your name to No(n)Sense.

Haha wtf do you think you are? You have half a chest, one delt is twice the size of the other one, and you have chop sticks for legs. You're just a smaller mess than Ruhl that's all. You really are out of your fucking mind. Trying to compare yourself to a 50yr old retired Olympia competitor. He was one of the best in the world at one point. Everyone gets old. I'm sure there is a HS basketball player who can beat Micheal Jordan one on one. Does that make him better than the greatest basketball player ever?

Let’s look at the final contest of Markus Ruhl’s career: 2010 IFBB Europa Super Pro - 7th place

2010 Europa Pro. Rühl at his absolute worst:

So much so that half the time I'm like this whole thing is just a giant troll job. But it's not, he's really that deluded. Hey he's a better bb than Arnold because he looks better than him at this very moment

Seeing Ruhl vs Ronnie in most muscular comparison pics reminds me of Thanos vs Hulk in that Avengers movie. Hulk (Ronnie) thought he was the biggest and baddest mf, unstoppable, the most powerful... then along came Thanos (Ruhl) and made Hulk his bitch and fear him.
Look at Ronnies sunken and scared pecs retreating, running from the fight, running for their lives..

Ah! Oh no! It's Thanos RUHL! Run bitch, run!

Look how narrow Ruhl makes Ronnie. Ruhl isn't even facing the camera too.
NO ONE EVER dwarfed Ruhl. Ruhl dwarfed EVERYONE. Even the biggest pros.

A lot of people talk shit about his oiled filled biceps..
At least they looked like ACTUAL MUSCLE, unlike Jay's smooth lumps of oil-filled shit.
All the super freaky bodybuilding pics where you think "that's shopped, right?" are of Ruhl. The one where he's sitting down backstage.. the other where he's sitting down at an expo in a deep-v-neck light top.....
And finally, winning a bodybuilding show (or placing higher than someone else) does not mean you were the best and/or biggest. HTH.

Exactly, Ruhl prob used oil but it all looked great and well done. The best imo for a size guy.

I always felt that the 1999 Night of Champions pictures were outrageous. Dillett won the show, but Rühl was bigger and had more cuts. Ruhl was 27 at the time.

Ummm.....more often than not, it DOES! Ruhl was (one of) the biggest. But, he wasn't the best. When you constantly get beat by guys who are a sauna and a diuretic away from being 212s, you might not be so bad after all.
If he can't beat them, you really think he can handle Ronnie Coleman?
1998? NOPE!
1999? Hardly!
2000? Try again!
2001? No Cigar!
2002 (off year)? Not even then! Ronnie wins the O; Ruhl loses to a rookie in Toronto.
2003? PLEASE!!! Ronnie becomes a Ro-Beast; Ruhl gets clapped by a 50-pounds lighter Darrem Charles in Italy (Maximus Pro Show).
As for nobody ever dwarfing Ruhl, I think another German bodybuilder would beg to differ, a guy named Gunter. He was just as big (if not bigger) with better shape and proportion.
-
^^^Gunter was so ripped in 2002, that his 300lbs really jumped even more. Gunter had striated glutes, striated pecs, and shredded quads, and shredded christmas tree lower back. Striations in the deltoids and ultra defined serratus. His weight probably went up to 330 or higher during the week after the fall shows in 2002.

No not at 50 I compared my self to pics of him at 46 my age and yeah he looks like garbage at my age Fact
You guys say I look like shit then try to compare me to dudes in their prime at 26 I am 45 years old when you compare me to theee same people at 45 years old I look better than most of them

Denial ain't just a river in Egypt. The fact remains when Ruhl faced guys his size (OR SMALLER) with better shape and proportion, he ended up on the short end of the stick.
Ruhl was a freak in his own right. But, when you keep getting beat by much lighter dudes and rookies, you aren't destroying anyone.

Great point.
Bodybuilding is a fairly judge non subjective sport. Decisions made the judges are rarely second guessed. Rhul sucked.

So, I guess there was a conspiracy out there to ensure Ruhl kept losing to smaller guys with better shape and proportions, rounder muscles, and superior posing.

No.
These contests are fair with no debates. Judges always pic pick the best physique the day of the show, that’s how it’s always been. There are zero issues with the no subjective results. The best body wins.

Markus would dominate today against these short bloofy men.

Bollocks!!
Markus Ruhl was always the biggest, most conditioned, well-proportioned guy, with the grace of a swan. Them evil German-hating Weiders just held him back.
-

You're right about that. Ruhl's problem was he was competitive at a time when there were other greats about.
Fucking hell even Paul Dillet with his fucked up awkward posing would be winning O's in today's game. I sometimes feel sorry for the old timers that were around in the 90's/00's because they missed out on the social media side and would smoke many of these jokers, today.

This. I’d say most of the top 15 line up from this time frame would smoke anyone today.

You're right about that. Ruhl's problem was he was competitive at a time when there were other greats about.
Fucking hell even Paul Dillet with his fucked up awkward posing would be winning O's in today's game. I sometimes feel sorry for the old timers that were around in the 90's/00's because they missed out on the social media side and would smoke many of these jokers, today.
Dillet could never win the Olympia no matter what era with that shitty back
-
If the judging is close and hard to pick a winner, the next round should be the judging of their cocks, all are required to take off their thongs and the most biggest, vascular cock, great symmetry, wins it

He’d be top 3.

Bollocks!!
Markus Ruhl was always the biggest, most conditioned, well-proportioned guy, with the grace of a swan. Them evil German-hating Weiders just held him back.
This seems like a well thought out articulate argument.
We’ve already established Marcus was a third tier bodybuilder. He is below all time legends like Darren Charles and Trot Alves.
-
Great point.
Bodybuilding is a fairly judge non subjective sport. Decisions made the judges are rarely second guessed. Rhul sucked.
No.
These contests are fair with no debates. Judges always pic the best physique the day of the show, that’s how it’s always been. There are zero issues with the no subjective results. The best body wins.

Do you have any interest in seeing a woman’s pussy? Has pussy ever crossed your mind? Ever?

Ruhl placed 5th in that show behind Ronnie, Jay, Dex and Gustavo lol

If Ronnie was 296-lb in 2004, what weight was Ruhl?

The only one that can beat Ruhl in size is Dorian
You high? Doz couldn’t touch Ruhl size wise anywhere but back.

He’d be top 3.
He would win today.

No, his conditioning wasn't all that (lower back, glute area), other than that he looked fantastic

Art Atwood

That's a fine point, though I did find that decision...odd. Atwood was certainly a mega-freak in his own right, but the midsection and t rex arms were hard to overlook. Markus would never be known as the most balanced guy, but I thought he was more balanced than Art. Art might've been a little sharper and/or had the edge in the back poses, but Ruehl was no slouch there, either.
It's been years, so I don't remember anything beyond that. I suspect Art was drier and that got him the nod *shrugs*

Defintely quit competing, leaner and dryer than ever now though.

Not quite!

I thought nobody dwarfed Ruhl. So much for that!!
Facts are stubborn things. And they tend to hurt NoPED's feelings, watching Mr. Ruhl get beat by a greenhorn 20 years ago, after what was supposed to be his finest hour a week earlier at NOC.

Do you have any interest in seeing a woman’s pussy? Has pussy ever crossed your mind? Ever?
Why does it concern you? Bbing should be judged with every body part, cock included

Even if it is not formally a judging criteria, it is probably hard for the judges to not implicitly factor in the nether-regions.

Agreed.
Atwood had a beautiful flowing physique!
He was known for his balance and structure. And that’s why he won so many shows!

He’s either floating around in a pool or in purgatory

I don't believe that show was called "The Toronto Pro Invitational (from the front only)"
Agreed.

Did Ruhl win another show besides NOC in '02?
Besides, Atwood was slightly more aesthetic than Ruhl and just as big.

He did in Toronto, as a rookie.
So, every time Ruhl lost to someone his size (or smaller) in better shape and/or with more aesthetics, it's always "He wuz robbed!"?

Why’s would Ruhl win more shows? He was a 4th tier pro. He had a couple of good placings at the Olympia, likely gifts because he was so physically unpleasing to the eye, all that matters is the number of shows you’ve won.
That’s why Darrem Charles is a better bodybuilder than Shawn Ray and why Dexter Jackson is the best of all time!

I wouldn't go so far at "4th Tier". When you make top 10 multiple times and especially top 5 (which Ruhl did once), you're definitely up there with the best of them.
Number of shows you've won? Try the quality of shows as well. Charles was known as the "King of the $10,000 shows". The most prestigious win he has, if memory serves me correctly is the 2005 NY Pro.
Shawn Ray won the Arnold and the IronMan. One Arnold title is worth at least three of those "$10,000 shows". And, then there's the factor of placing top 10 at the Olympia (in years gone by) being more of the measuring stick of greatness than simply winning smaller shows to qualify for the O.
Ray's 12 straight top-5 Olympia placings put him WAY ahead of Charles' placing top 10 just twice (7th and 9th).

Wait which is it?
I thought Marcus sucked because he didn’t win shows? Now you’re qualifying the quality of shows that Charles won even though he won more than Shawn Ray?
-

I never said that Markus Ruhl sucked. What I said was this whole "Ruhl destroyed anyone pose for pose" was quite inaccurate.
Claiming that Ruhl's form in his NOC win was untouchable, only to watch him lose just a week later to a rookie, makes my point.
Besides, isn't there a thread about the rules changes to qualify for the Olympia, despite nearly all the guys who placed "16th" at the O WON pro shows to qualify?
There's a reason the ASC paid almost as much as the Olympia back then vs. the other shows paying $10,000.
