Sorry.

There is no way a BB like Dexter should ever beat someone like Ruhl (except for his last O appearence).
someone who is 180 pounds should not place better than a hard 280 pounder in a bodyBIULDING show.

Hormonized to the gills.  :o

Talk about tons of hormone mediated meat.  Well, 1/3 of a ton anyway.  If Ruhl comes in the show in good condition he can make the top six.  Maybe even a bit higher depending on how the competition does.  Although he himself said he will never win the Olympia title, he could probably take the Arnold.

1/6 of a ton?

worm, bodybuilding is not a BODYWEIGHT contest. Its about symmetry, muscularity, condition, and proportion.

Ruhl only beats dex at an eating contest, or Mr intestine length contest.

Dex has an awkward structure.  Also, don't make me pull out the gut pictures.

no shit.  but if a 90 pound kid is cut, he should not beat someone 250 pounds semi-cut.

I personally saw Gustavo guest pose at the Florida this weekend and he looked sharp with no gut and thick as a brick house.

aint talkin about 90 lb kids. talkin about dex (or could be shawn, Lee etc...) vs Ruhl.
Ruhl has incredible mass. He doesnt have a build that wins shows vs guys like dex (martinez, heath etc...) mass is only part of the game. If its all you got, you dont win.

and if it was a 90 lb kid who was better all around....he wins. Thats bodybuilding. (except the judges giveit to the 150lb dude with a huge gut!)

He is the BEAST!!! But it seems that judges don't like him. Probably because he is not kissing their asses all the time!!! Ruhl RULES!!!!

I guess that Coleman is what ?? 170 pounds???? He is the champ and he is over 260 so guys like dexter are crushed and their simetry and proportion are nothing but "midget" weapons in a war of giants!

Post by: GoneAway on September 11, 2006, 04:58:05 AM
Ruhl has symmetry, but I think he's too much of a mass monster to win. He lacks the finer points that guys like Coleman (albeit a mass monster) brings. I do agree that if he is spot on (better than ever or at his best) he can crack top 3.
Title: Re: Markus Ruhl??
Post by: kyomu on September 11, 2006, 06:29:40 AM
Markus will be in top 3 no doubt,if he remain 300lbs still.

Guys, get it out of your head that Dexter is symmetrical just because he's small.  Give credit where credit is due - his conditioning is among the top five in bodybuilding history but his structure leaves much to be desired.

Shawn Perrine did comment that his name was up there among other bodybuilders currently competing in terms of being the best for symmetry (along with Melvin Anthony and Troy Alves), but I disagree.  I think Shawn of all people should know this.  However, he was spot on with Melvin and especially Troy.  Dexter has a lot of flaws that I can go into in terms of his shape - it really isn't anything special.  So no, his weapon against size is not symmetry, but conditioning.
i agree with you entirely on this assessment of dexter,best abs in the business? give me a break
