Sickest Pic of a BB'er?

[BIG_STI]

Not the most aesthetic guy around, but I believe Ruhl could've stood with any BBer in history that night.

His full routine from 02 NOC is on youtube, has to be seen to believed. Don't think any guy has looked that big on stage ever

[webcake]

yep. 2002 NOC Ruhl routine = unfuckingbelievable

You are wrong! 

[benchmstr]

According to some ppl this pic was "morphed"..

Ruhl looked insane there, probably the freakiest bb contest pic, he's so big it looks as if he can't even hit the pose right due to the mass

people always say that...then you watch the video.......and the video doesnt look morphed at all..

You are wrong! 

Dude I paused the actual youtube video on his side chest and compared the pic. It's photoshopped.

That is the most incredible thing i have ever watched. Dude would have given prime Ronnie a run for his money. He beats 2001 2002 2004 2005 Ronnie for sure.

What? Ruhl barely won 2 of the lesser competitive pro shows and one of them was in 2000 and the other 2002. Where was he come Olympia time if he could beat Ronnie?  Oh wait, he finished 7th and 8th those years. lol So much for beating Ronnie

Because the video isn't morphed. The IMAGE is. Are people really that dumb?

You seem to miss the fact that I am speaking as a hypothetical. Meaning, hypotheticaly if Ruhl came to the olympia looking like he did in this vid and faced the Ronnie's I mentioned I could see him winning.

Oh ok, got ya. Disagree but understand now

I think it's a coinflip. You have to remember Ronnie was beating jay and dex, guys 20-30 lbs lighter than him. Even in bad shape the bigger guy will win. Look at Kai beating Heath at the asc this year. BUT take an out of shape ronnie and a ruhl that is every bit as big with twice the conditioning and you have a mighty battle taking place.

I don't think the pic is shopped, just a different aspect ratio in the video and the pic but not morphed.

I don't think Ruhl could have gotten ahead of Levrone and Wheeler if they were in top shape. Mind you Flex never was in top shape during the Olympia's except his first one.

 Leaving Ronnie out, there were a lot of very competitive guys those years. The same goes for Flex, had he have shown up in his '98 Arnold form to the '98 Mr. O, he probably would have won

Markus def looked insane that day, but that screengrab is morphed- stretched horizontally. I superimposed a screengrab I did of the youtube vid over that other screengrab. The blue guidelines show the difference in width of the two. The other image is my screengrab. Absolutely stretched.

Thanks for clearing that up, man. It just looked slightly stretched to me as well. Bunch of pessimistic assholes here. Ruhl fucking RUUUULLLLEDDD!!!! That's the freakiest he's ever been. He just hasn't peaked that well in other comps, plus when competing against a prime Ronnie Coleman you're pretty much fucked from the get go. Doesn't change the fact that Ruhl's a fucking super freak.

[MP]

I've seen that before, but fuck, he really is just a monster. Hell, if you're going to go for mass, fucking go for it. He's just a beast! Where the fuck did his neck go? LOL. Just awesome.

Yes.  Guy is still a disgrace though.  A chemical experiment gone wrong and a true oilbag.  Should be in a circus and not on a bodybuilding show.  If there was any decency, he would have been relegated to last place in every show he entered.

no bber ever, ronald included, has ever surpassed this showing. this was the absolute height that a human can achieve.

[Figo]

Dry as fuck!!! Now that is a bodybuilder!!! too bad he is dead.

He's using the same tools from the same toolbox everyone else is.

He just maxed it out. I dont thin Ruhl could have surpassed that. Unbelievable.

Its not pretty, not condonable, not ethical. Its pro bbing.

I actually was at that show in the Beacon Theater.  He looked insane.
