shawn ray on markus ruhl

[MikeThaMachine]

Didn't S Ray also say that George Farah wouldn't be in an Olympia again and then last year he made it

[nicorulez]

Schimowser knows of what he speaks.  Ruhl is a freak and I appreciate the insanity of taking more testosterone, Gh, insulin and amphetamines that many third world countries.    The dude has the taper of a gorilla.  He has zero flow.  Shawn is a legend; to compare him to Priest or Ruhl is idiotic.  Ray is one of the top ten bodybuilders ever...including Mr. Olympia's past and present.  He had the total package except for width.  Ruhl won't even place top ten at the Mr. Olympia.  In any show, a small Phil Heath would eat him for lunch.  Lee Atwood is bigger than Ruhl; he is even uglier.  Fedarov is equally as large; at least he has the potential for greatness if he could ever come into a show in shape.  Ruhl really is a mass freak, but a great bodybuilder he is not.  Gunther, the other German, kills him and has a hotter fiance.

Lee Atwood??? who is that?  Markus wont even make the top ten?  he placed top ten in 2000,2002,2004,  he will definatly be in equal or better shape than his 5th place 2004 showing.

[Scimowser]

Markus could kill his 2004 showing, but back then (just 2 short years ago) he didnt have a field of competition to worry about. Look at this year alone - everyone has raised the bar. Branch, Johnny, Toney, Quincy - these guys are all dominating shows now and look fantastic. Heath is the best of the new bunch right now and there is absolutely NO way Markus could beat him. Heath has all the tools, he may not be the broadest guy onstage like Markus is but he has everything you want to see in a BBer. He is the Richard Jones with legs, the true next coming of Shawn Ray. Markus has an imposing size about him but he will get lost in the crowd IMO. His day has passed, he will always be one of the most popular guys onstage but sheer size cant win him shows anymore.

[theworm]

small guys (shawn) usually are jealous of us big guys. 


Ruhl will get 4th place at the O and he has more fans that tiny shawn.  Ruhl's name is associated with MASS, shawn with all talk.

[knny187]

I foreigner will never win an Olympia now.  It will cost to much money for them to keep bringing to the US to do photoshoots.  Thye want to save money so will only have a local US resident win.  Sorry but this is true

Is Great Britain a part of the United States? 

I know we purchased Hawaii & Alaska sometime ago.

[Scimowser]

what a load of bull shit. Theres no fucking way Ruhl will get 4th, youve got more chance of King cracking the top 6. He has the mass granted (oil doesnt exactly count though) -but its a fucking ugly physique. He has slabs and slabs of muscle that dont blend well, he looks strange because he has ZERO flow. The reason Shawn dominated him is because he had the perfect physique. Shawn has an opinion for everything, but then who doesnt? How many times have you shot your mouth off about something? Fuck, every1 has an opinion about everything, even things they know absolutely fuck all about!

You mention the very word aesthetics to a true bodybuilding fan and they'll immediately think of Shawn. So too for flow, lines, symmetry, consistency - he had everything but the Sandow that was stolen from him because fucking idiots preferred someone who was bigger but not better in the show that counted the most. Ruhl finished top 5 how many times exactly?   I forget how many times Shawn was there..........

[NarcissisticDeity]

Shawn is fond of making career-is-over type statements , after Dorian torn his biceps in 94 Shawn also claimed that Dorian's career was now over and he still had a few good years left in him for guest posing ! Dorian in 1995 CRUSHED Shawn and everyone else

I also recall Shawn publically declaring he was going to stop Lee Haney at the 1991 Mr Olympia and some how this would make him the greatest bodybuilder ever because he would also de remembered as the one who stop Haney from his desitiny of beating Schwarzenegger's record.

Shawn fancies himself bodybuildings pint-size Ali  he likes to use boxing metaphors and analogies and thats all good , but he never once back up his claims something Ali did , its not cockiness if you can back it up and Shawn never did.

  I forget how many times Shawn was there..........

Its not that hard to remember... it was the only show he did year after year after year after year

I admire George big time! hes awesome and has overcame so much.

[Shawn Ray]

I love the varying opinions of me, why else would I come here
That being said, I stand by my comment, "We've seen the best of Markus and based on last weeks show, I'm not far off the mark."
Peace,
S

[getfast81]

Might be crazy but maybe Ruhl did hold a bit back for the Olympia, Ruhl at 90 percent is good for 3rd in a show like this ones lineup.

[theworm]

wow.  shawn is quoting himself!!  Someday I may be able to do this.  

I think we are all pulling for Ruhl this year.  Very likably character with probably the most muscle on a person ever.  Will he get screwed again?  probably.  Yet, I still think he can get the 4 spot.  

Shawn, whats your prediction on where he will place?

"Lee Atwood"
"Ruhl won't crack top ten"
monster retard here!   
we should have a most retarded post ever on getbig and keep it in a hall of fame.

Not far off the mark?  Markus is showing some of his best condition ever.

[phyxsius]

Markus dwarfs Shawn and in return, Shawn owns Markus in symmetry

[Doublemonk]

Ruhl is not using synthol. His biceps and shoulders have the same shape since he started competing.

Why do you think this is the case??? both of Flex magazines top photgraphers (Kevin & Chris) live in the UK and are flown out to the states to do photo shoots!!

Isn't Dorian a Brit?

[JKDMan]

he said Ruhl isnt even close to a top 20 BBer of all time.... which is too true...

not even top 50 of all time...he simply has no flow, proportion etc

Shawn is a fuggin legend of the sport and would place higher than ruhl in any show

how many pros do we see coming up as good as Shawn these days???

marcus responds well to drugs and can afford oil so hes growing and popping out in all the wrong fuggin places.....

heres a way to look at them both because u obviously seem to know f**k all about bodybuilding....

take marcus and look for his weak points then look at shawn and spot his weak points

shawn is 1 of very few pros who has almost no weak points and came in condition every fuggin time with no gut...now if thats not bodybuilding then i dont know what is!!!!!!??

I said anymore.  After Dorian thats it.  And Kevin and Chris are flown here but not as often as not.  And they require less pampering than a pro.

[Stavios]

Shawn - have you ever witnessed pros use things like meth backstage to cut?

I am really naive and I was shocked to see that people in my gym used cocaine to stay lean

Atwood is over 280 and has a better shape dipshit.  Ruhl will be lucky to crack the top ten.  Your boy got 15th last year moron.  So, where is my post a fallacy.  Ruhl is a freak, but he is not even close to being one of the worlds top bodybuilders.

Matt C, if you don't believe that bodybuilders use cocaine and metamphetamines, think again.  They will use any stimulant to cut up and get vascular for the show.  Peace all except the Roach....ehhrrr worm.
