He should be relegated to the NPC, along with little Phil Heath.
Heath won the USA (first try) with relative ease. And as a rookie he won his first two shows, defeating guys who were top Olympia contenders.
There's nothing little about Heath. He's Mr. O, three times running.
wow that looks like 2.83 heaths wide!!
Greg Kovacs was "wider" than Heath, too. I guess he should have had the Sandow handed to him.
Besides, to the best of my knowledge, Ruhl only won one show and got beat the next week by a rookie, the late Art Atwood. A year later, he lost the Maximus Pro to a much smaller but far-better-conditioned-and-proportioned Darrem Charles.
