A closer look at RALPH MOELLER!

[alexxx]

Some motivation for us taller natural guys:


German Runner-up in 1982 and then German Champion in the following year were just two of Ralf's milestones on the way to his ultimate goal in 1986 in Tokyo: World Champion! At 1.96 m, Ralf is still the tallest and heaviest bodybuilding champion ever.
 
The fact that doping tests were carried out for the first time during the bodybuilding world championships in 1986 made his achievement all the more notable. Ralf reached his goals with a great deal of self discipline in training and diet.

Great post. Allways loved this guy. Funny that they were doing doping test in 1986...

Why does it seem like before 1990 just about everybody had better chest development then today's pro's

They made sure to use the bench press as a staple in every single chest workout.

seriously man. Not to sound like a fag but ALL of them had like slabs hanging off their chests and they knew how to do a side chest pose. These guys today look like shit.

[natural al]

maybe someone will post that pic of him getting buried by little stevie Brisbois at the 1990 arnold classic.....

Probably because the guys back then had slim waists, while the BBs today have huge bellies that diminish the percieved mass of the chest, while also destroying the potential of the side chest pose.

Check this clip out.. Ralph does those 4 plate benches like they where nothing!

Big frame,some good bodypart's,no leg's even for the 80's,natural =no.....

just what I was thinking...

The reason is because they are fake and not even a very good fake at that.

Yes DF that is part of the reason. The other is hard training with bench presses. Not many do that today.

Cool cat. I trained arms with Ralph more than a few times. We enjoyed a tasty bevearge at Arnolds Cigar Night at Shatzis too.

Ralph always had a big S-Class Mercedes. I could never quite figure that out.

[BroadStreetBruiser]

Posing and lack of a thick midsection created the illusion.

How tall are you?

5'10 on a sunny day.

I guess that's a valid point. I looked at some old poses. Seems they suck in their stomachs as well. I doubt if any pro's today can do that. Jay Cutlers side chest is pathetic. He doesnt' even do it right.

Care to disclose any details? Got any stories? How did Ralph train? Arnold had a cigar lounge? Where there gang bangs taking place there?

He is 196cm as listed on his official website which is 6'4" 1/2. Here he is with Lou.

[Lunarr]

Two questions :

1. How heavy is Moeller now?

2. How much did the photog pay to get lou in the pic?

[hipolito mejia]

I know moeller was 6'6 he got out of the game to act and didn't get to stay around and experiment like gunter is now.he would have too be 350 in today's standard.

Let's not act like that would be a good thing

[Captain Equipoise]

He had a role in Gladiator as well.

i agree but sadly it is a fact ,too much height today is considered a curse cause you need a lot of mass to fill out longer limb's.

[BroadStreetBruiser]

It's that mentality of "bigger is better" that has ruined this shit.

Care to disclose any details? Got any stories? How did Ralph train? Arnold had a cigar lounge? Where there gang bangs taking place there?

Details? Nothing the tabloids would care about .  Arnold had 'Cigar Night' the 1st Tuesday of the month, every month, at his Santa Monica restaurant Shatzi. This was before the huge anti-smoking campaign that has eliminated all smoking in the state of California. Lots of people would show up and enjoy a stogie and just get blind drunk. Arnold always hosted the main table and he would always have Ralph, Sven O'Thorson, Franco & friends sit at the table. Very relaxed... very fun. I sat at the table 3-4 times, always only for 1 or 2 drinks and 1 or 2 jokes. I first met Arnold through Don Ross in 1990/1991? He knew my name, and knew that Ralph knew me, but not much more.

Gang bangs? That was a whole different group.... Ralph had nothing to do with that action.
