Can Ruehl ever get back on top?

2005 he was 5 at the Olympia; are his best days behind him?

He is the odd man out in terms of physique. I think he is impressive and massive as always but in order to place well he has to dry out from the back. I have never seen him with the striated glutes which are essential for bb now.

Ruhl definitely can. I think he will make everyone a little shocked this year. He should be looking muh better from the back with better conditioning.  I actually have Ruhl somewhere between 1st and 8th. No one will place him 1st in their predictions but I think its more likely Ruhl will place 1st vs Victor Martinez.

Stats will say Martinez, but if you look at the Austrian Grand Prix Ruhl destroyed Cutler and Coleman. That was actually almost the best Ruhl to date. the judges will place him well if he comes in ripped.

ruhl said in md forum he knows what his weakness is from t he rear shots and he needs to be in better condition and thats what his focus is on for this years olympia.

gustavo saw cutlers back and from new pics brought his up to i think ruhl has done the same.

that is the austrian grand prix

MARKUS RUHL WON THAT SHOW. the placing says different, but he won clearly.

he was overlooked there. if  ruhl was judged properly he would have won and everyone would be chanting his name in top 4 at the olympia.

most people dont even know ruhl looked that good at that show.

I'll answer this question in a detailed fashion the day AFTER the Olympia ... then and ONLY then ( unless you see him everyday ) can we make proper judgement as to whether his best days are behind him or not.
