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.

Anyone have pics of Zane in his heyday, in off-season condition?

I bet he looked unreal.

Zane...chics don't like those overgrown apes like Ruhl.

Exactly.. ruhl looks fun for a day but he also looks as if he will never make it to old age.

Zane with about 10 to 15 more pounds of muscle

I'd rather look like me.

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.

SLYY · « **Reply #13 on:** April 30, 2006, 12:56:56 AM »

From those two choices....Zane...

Are you serious??

HowieW · « **Reply #15 on:** April 30, 2006, 01:11:51 AM »

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...

I'm taking Zane. Ruhl's physique is not pleasing to my eyes

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.
