Markus Ruhl

[Bouncer]

I dont think this guy gets the credit he deserves. Not only is he the biggest on stage but he comes in hard and shredded every year. Looks damn good IMO.

[ROCKETW19]

WOW!!!

[ROCKETW19]

where can i get some shoulders like that ? they sure aint got em at my gym!LOL

[Lmg2701]

He's is definitely huge, I think he gets his points taken away for being so blocky though.

[bigpetefox]

Yeah, I think he's abit blocky, but impressive nonetheless..

[Mr. Shoulders]

He is a monster for sure but not really proportioned correctly

get some synthol and go to town. his shoulders are way out of proportion, he has a huge waistline, he is blocky as hell...i don't see him bringing anything to the stage other than shear mass. his shoulders are WAY out of proportion to the rest of his body.

MARKUS ROCKS! Speaking of big shoulders.....I dissagree with the notion of being "out of proportion"....that's what bodybuilding is all about. It should be about the freakiness of a body. I feel if you have a strong point on your body..blow it up! Yates had a back, Preist has some arms, Paul DeMayo had the quads....the list goes on. When Markus is on stage, and evryone stands beside him they just don't messure up. IMO

No flame here, but that is pretty much the exact oppisite of what bodybuilding is all about. Sure, any tom, dick, and harry could shoot synthol into a bodypart and have it blow up, but to have overall size and proportion and great tie ins, that's what bodybuilding is all about. Ask anyone who has ever competed and they will tell you the same exact thing.

I agree...it's not as if the rest of his bodyparts are weak or anything...he just happens to have some freaky shoulders.

I disagree. I saw him up close at last years Arnold. From straight on he look very proportional and evenly balanced. He has a big waist but the size of the rest of his body balances out.

I'll second the motion... I'm all about bringin' the freak. Yates was a good example... his back was 3years ahead of the rest of the competition... flat out smoked them with anything showing back... Markus should be placed higher more often than he is... F_T
