His most muscular gif from the 2001 NOC or one of those shows was the best ever IMO.
Yes sir - 2002. He never quite had the genetics for aesthetics to make it to the top, but probably had the potential to come very close to living the Arnold, as he himself felt [I believe he said he did feel he had this potential]. His genetics for size was amazing, and for conditioning was very good also, albeit not up to his size genetics. It was his genetics for aesthetics that hurt him the most.
Sadly, he is a good example of the plight of Bigorexia, alongside Nasser El Sonbaty. We speak about him being immortal, but it was in 2013 that he himself said that a German seminar that his heart was the size of an elephant.
I like Markus and do not wish to see him die young - but do men that large ever live long?
I think bodybuilders need to downsize to the size of Be There and live healthier while still being more massive than 99% of the population. Frankly, I'm completely satisfied being 170 and disproportionately strong for my size. But of course - to each their own.
