Title: WHO WOULD YOU RATHER LOOK LIKE?
Post by: candidate2025 on April 29, 2006, 08:03:48 PM
FROM IRONAGE:

"Frank Zane (1984), Markus Ruhl (2001)
The ultimate in aesthetics versus the ultimate in mass. At 5'9" Frank Zane weighed in the neighborhood of 190-195 lbs. in top shape. At 5'11" Markus Ruhl weighs 275-280 lbs., a difference of some 85 lbs. or more than 40 additional pounds. This means that Ruhl hass more than one-third additional bodymass per inch of height (138%) than Zane! Who would you rather look like?"

PERSONALLY......RHUL, IN A SPLIT SECOND.

It's a no brainer - Zane.

Bodybuilding isn't about being blocky with a GH gut. At some point the sport lost it's way.

Erm thats a tough one.

I'm going to say Zane.  But I'd be hitting the sauce to right wrongs of swimmerdom pretty quickly.

Out of those two I like Zane and that would be the body to have nowadays if you want to make serious money in Hollywood or just about anywhere.  Ruhl if you want the attention and the odd looks.  I had the semi Zane look in high school and about a year out.  The I had the semi Ruhl look at 6'1" 300 lbs.  Now I have the super-duper bloated Ruhl look at 400++.  So I have had them all and to tell you the truth I like my semi Ruhl look at 300 as did everyone lese.

You're comparing two polar opposites with no compromise......I have to go with Zane.

Hmmmm, let us see, one is a 3 time Mr O (77, 78, 79), the other is a big freak, that never won a pro show...tough choice, but I take Zane.
Ok I was tough on Markus, and he is a large muscular man in the midst of modern pro bodybuilding.
If you thinks freaks are good for our sport , look at the TV time in the last ten years...?????

The "semi look" comments were pretty funny and I get ya, but it was a bit of a chuckle ;)

For me, I have been thinking of going back to Zane and dropping body wt. At a tad under 200, I could run easier , felt better and could compete often, now I feel and look like a bloated sac of whale poop.

Title: Re: WHO WOULD YOU RATHER LOOK LIKE?
Post by: bailey on April 30, 2006, 03:44:08 AM
Yeah, His name Is " Scott Markey" He trains at my gym In San Diego
In person He looks bigger than those pics. I think he's about 5'9 or so 220ish. My girlfriend thinks he has the perfect physique.
( And she likes a bodybuilders physique ) Just not a Markus Ruhl type.

Scott's not gay.  His girlfriend at that time was Denise Rignon I think. 

I always thinks it funny how some gay people when they see a good looking guy always accuse them of being gay.  They are hoping to hear yes and go into denial if it is a no

i love how they use a shitty picture of ruhl ::)

zane....for a juice-using professional bodybuilder, he was really small. i mean he hardly looks any different size wise than me, just with more cuts and better calves. put clothes on him and you could hardly tell he works out, not good for a juiced up pro mr olympia.

When you say juice....you have to keep in mind the types and amounts people were using in Zane's era.  Ruhl has GH and Slin-not mention much higher doses and more readily available products.....

Yeah, I can just Imagine what the fools that think Ruhl is a good looking physique, must look like themselves. It tells you allot ! Because the other guys with good looking faces and great bodies get beautiful women and tons of magazine covers, O yeah they must be gay. It's called " Jealousy " All you wannabe Ruhl guys keep spanking It. That's all you will ever have. Ruhl's physique Sucks and his face is hideous. Must be a great life to be a big lump of ugly muscle and bodyfat ( He's never ripped ! ) And what a sight he is 300 days a year
( Offseason ). Keep telling yourself you would want to look like that.
Lonely and Fat !!! Losers !!!!

Well part right.  I am not in a wheel chair.  The first 6 months after I was but I was unable to walk only crawl.  I went out of the house maybe 5 times right after I got bit.  I am still recovering but a 1000 times better than just 2 years ago.  I will be at the Olympia 160 pounds lighter than my top weight I was at.  I have about 80 left and 4 months.

This is me on Thursday at the gym.  I shaved my head partly.  Finished shaving it today
