Fucking awesome!

He should have placed 4rd in that contest, right behind Ronnie, Flex and Chris.

He looks less oily there too...Duke Nukeum should have been 3rd no problem.

Thank you for posting this clip of a healthy 27 year old man.

I said it once but got hammered

He looks totally different in the face there. He looks much older than he did at say 32. I always wondered why that was.

This was his rookie year as a pro and he just went downfall ever since. Must suck to train for ten years and only get worse. It must be all the synthol+gh+insulin that bloated his physique out.

damn, a lot of guys had that insane suicidal conditioning back then.

GH has really screwed things up. thicker skin

1 Ronnie Coleman

2 Ken Wheeler (Flex)

3 Chris Cormier

4 Kevin Levrone

5 Shawn Ray

6 Nasser El Sonbaty

7 Paul Dillett

9 Dexter Jackson

10 Milos Sarcev

11 Mike Matarazzo

12 Markus Rühl

13 Ernie Taylor

14 Pavol Jablonicky

15 Jay Cutler

16 Jean Pierre Fux

Wacky that he only placed 12:th here with that shape, and 5:th a few years later looking like puke compared to this. Cutler was also in one of his alltime greatest condition at 99 Olympia and he was next to dead last.

lol you need a lot of drugs to maintain that physique haha.

This is when Ruhl looked good.

That was one of the best Mr. O's ........................ ... Always a Ruhl fan, i like him as a person more than a BB.

NotMrAverage · « **Reply #19 on:** August 14, 2009, 08:10:26 AM »

Veru true, look at top ten. All the best guys in the same contest. Ronny looked awesome here too. Matarazzo and Ernie "lameashelltris" Taylor got some real gifts though. Quite funny they have beaten Cutler.

Marcus Ruhl is a great aryan natural BB. No Drugs here! Bodybuilding = Genetics

Wow, even his back was shredded back then. Hardly ever achieved that type of conditioning again, from the rear most of the time he was only in Guestposing-shape for contests lol.

Must be the haircut (+ the Anti-aging benefits of long-term GH therapy).
