Why didn't Marcus Ruhl place higher?

[Mr Nobody]

Even Ronnie!!!!

You competing this year man?

[Chick]

It states in the rules any athlete can be tested any time I guess Marcus was just unlucky.

LOL...do you have any idea what you're talking about?

[Mr Nobody]

LOL...do you have any idea what you're talking about?

IFBB testing is a joke.

[Doug_Steele]

IFBB testing is a joke.

Well, i guess that Markus got the shaft. 

[Gino30]

it's his tiny triceps and synthol biceps, and he always had lower back fat 

and that's just the start...

love the 'bbing is unfair' posts....lol.....what dick-flops....marcus ruhl didnt have the shape or lines like the top guys....ummm, its pretty obvious

[emn1964]

Great...thanks for asking

Good to hear that Chick...shall I drop a few other names?

[Cleanest Natural]

[Tito24]

Is that specimen male or female?

[The Showstoppa]

Nice camel-toe, sev.....

[Adder]

Exactly...as if there was some conspiracy.  

Speaking of which....I thought Marcus was a shoe-in for the top6 at the Olympia with Ultimate Nutrition coming on board, and MT out of the picture?

Amazing how all the idiots disappear real quick when they're made to look as stupid as they post

Ok chick how about 1999 night of champions dillet 1st ruhl 4th






Also this interview is very funny

# RA: Going back to the Night of Champions competition, what do you wish to say to the people who say you did not deserve to win?

# PD: I don't think anyone could say that, and if they do, I say 'Kiss my ass'. That's all I could say to them I don't give a fuck what they think. They could go fuck themselves. That's how I feel about it. What do they saw when I go into a show, and don't place where I should. Who was going to beat me? Who? Marcus Ruhl? Big guy. He has great condition, but does he have my shape? Not in a million years! Is he bigger? No? On that day, was he harder. Hell yeah...but being the hardest guy does not mean you are going to be the best, the winner, either. There are so many other underlying factors that people do not take into consideration, which is your balance, your symmetry, which, whether you are at your best, or you are not at your best, you are still going to have that. So that will take you a lot further than your conditioning sometimes. You know, you look for the bounds, then you look for the conditioning, so not because your condition was as bad as mine, then you are going to beat me. That is just another factor. If you can't beat me when I am at 60%, how the hell can you beat me when I am at 80%, or 100%, so if someone says 'Oh Paul didn't deserve to win', nobody's going to be always happy. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Some will say "oh yeah, he is supposed to win", some will say "Oh yeah, he is not supposed to win". The fact is it is done, it's over. There is nothing anyone can say or do to change that fact, all we can do is think about the Mr. Olympia, and I guarantee you, there was no one at the Night of Champions that will even get a serious call-out at the Mr. Olympia, so it just goes to show to the one who complain, just shut the fuck up. Kiss my ass once again.

lmao

[mesmorph78]

Because he looked like a square Huge abnormal shoulders zero arm thickness in regard to triceps or forearms. A boxybuilders worse nightmare torso too big for arms triceps in particular

[JOHN MATRIX]

wow its even worse than i thought, poor RUHL has been screwed in more contests than anyone it seems 

[AC Slater]

chick : explain moe el mousawwi beating ruhl at the 09 olympia.

[Parker]

Even Ronnie!!!!

Doubt it. He only beat Ronnie when Ronnie beat himself. Ronnie accomplished what Vic Richards wanted to do. Beat his true competition, himself.

[affeman]

Chick is an arrogant 'I know it all' prick. If Markus Ruhl would have come up through the NPC he would have been Manion's poster boy and his career would have taken a much more triumphant turn. Markus killed Cutler at the 2000 NOC yet he lost. Markus destroyed everyone at the NOC in 99 and yet he placed 4th. He didn't even place at the 99 Mr. O yet he looked better than Nasser. The list goes on...

Ruhl wasn't a US citizen. He couldn't come up through the NPC. The bottom line is that Ruhl has LOST to other bodybuilders like Art Atwood and Darrem Charles. So, why is it such a weird concept that Jay Cutler beat him?

[3Dkiller]

that last picture is so sick

[MCWAY]

nobody besides mustafa mohammed has been screwed in the placings more times than RUHL.
the worst was in that grand prix show the year jay won the O...markus is standing next to jay and MURDERS him on each and every single shot, beats ronnie too, but still placed 3rd...and jay got 1st when he should have been behind both RUHL and ronnie.

Again, what's the excuse for Ruhl's LOSSES to Atwood and Charles? Atwood (a rookie) BEAT MARKUS RUHL one week after Ruhl won NOC.

[Danimal77]

 

Interesting how Bob Chick claims to be 6'0", yet is the same height, if not shorter than 5'10" Marcus Ruhl

[Schmoe Buster]

LOL...do you have any idea what you're talking about?

how many times were you tested Chick?

[Gino30]

Marcus' trademark width was at the complete expense of creating a pleasing and proportional physique.

It seems Marcus could not impartially judge his own shortcomings.....his arms and back needed a lot more work in terms of quality, while his upper chest and shoulders needed to supplement his appearance rather than dominate.......he needed to step back from the mind-set of being the largest Aryan bastard onstage VS "what do I need to improve to place ahead of these guys in front of me?".

Yes, maybe he got shafted in the placings, but I'm more concerned about his inability to put together a good package......he's a dumb ass German who blew his potential
