Many people requested a new Markus vid so here it is, one of the freakiest bodybuilders we've seen in the game of bodybuilding. 🔥 0:05 Intro 2:07 Hype - Offseason & Onseason 3:33 Challenge round with Ronnie Coleman, Jay Cutler and more bodybuilders 6:38 Monster Mode
Markus Ruhl is definitely underrated. That phrase in video - "I don´t know what they are looking here tonight but Markus is the biggest man" says it all.
I had the pleasure of meeting Markus a decade ago. I’m 6’6”, 300 lbs and the first word that came to mind when I saw him in person was absolute “Beast”. But after speaking with him briefly for 5 minutes I discovered there are other words that describe him far better. Gentleman, polite, soft spoken and respectful. Don’t let his size fool you, as large as he is his character far overshadows his physique.
With or without peds this guy is a genetic freak. Much respect for all the hard work this man has put in. Anyone who can make Jay Cutler look small is an absolute beast.
He got told by mr olympia that he respects the effort m,arkus puts into the sport because he is not a genetic talent but the results is pure hard work.
@@derraucherhase123 I have to disagree since normal people cannot get this big no matter how hard they work. You are genetically programmed to have a certain percentage of each muscle fibre based on your parents genes. Most people are born with 50% slow-twitch muscle fibers and 50% fast-twitch muscle fibers. Elite strength or power athletes might have 80% type II muscle fibers and endurance athletes have about 90% type I. They have more homogeneous fiber distributions from birth and that is what allows them to excel in their respective sports. Genetics are the determining factor in growth potential and to get this big you have to have the genetics.
@@MotoLife541 i have seen a article and , ..., that he begin with training in a gym with 18 because knee injury and at begin this he weights 58 or 68 kg (kfa "estimated by watching a video to him so maby around 20 % ) , ...,
This man has a golden character, his jokes, always humble, always respectful of everyone, never even remotely arrogant, he can laugh at himself, his attitude, his demeanor, all these character traits, simply fantastic! I am an Austrian boy, Arnold Schwarzenegger's homeland, between Germany and Italy, we also speak German, I've been following Markus for ages, that's why I know exactly that his real strength is his character! Hats off to this man!
Hey boy he is Not respectfull He talks so much Shit about other training methods and other stuff. Cause of guys Like him people think that Bodybuilding is only for brain dead people 🙃
Who said a thing about Ronnie? Lil bro you hate facts I see. Lmao. Go meat ride this losers 15th place win. Lmao. Guy was one of the worst in history. Cry harder.

@@executiveinvestmentsI’ve NEVER seen Markus get "destroyed" by anyone on stage.
Forever and always the peoples champ, dude gave every ounce of heart and energy he had into that most muscular against Ronnie, sometimes ur life comes down to short powerful moments like that, beautiful
@@komaddog its about politics. his proportions are beyond ideal to anyone except bodybuilders who think Leg size and abs makes a man manly. we are known for being top heavy with thick arms and broad shoulders. why do you think shoulders are the most attractive feature to women. ask a dad on the street "which of these two strangers looks more roided up and macho" and i guarantee they pick Ruhl 9/10 times thinking roids makes your clavicle grow out like that. why do you think skipping leg day is so common, legs arent the star of the show. its like saying Arnold shouldnt have won because he only had a 4 pack. Ronnie won too many times, for no Real reason. politics.
@@komaddogThat didnt hold the judges back to let Ronnie win in 2002 and place Gunter Schlierkamp at 5th Place, who compared to Ronnie, was ahead in Symetry, Size and Conditioning. Politics!
Distended midsection, soft lower back glutes and hamstrings, flat triceps. He lost because at the Olympia his condition was never on top except for 2004 were he could have placed fourth instead of fifth imo. I don't get it why German fans or Markus Ruhl fans are always so blind to see that.
Some things should be kept as comic chars, it looks ... weird. This is male version of the jessica rabbit body. Looks amazing in comics but in real life. It is too much.
Hard work+ hyper responder to the “vitamins”= the ultimate mass monster. One of my favorite bodybuilders of all time. He was a clean looking mass monster. Totally underrated in the all time bodybuilders list.
@@treygainz2724 and being a hyper responder (genetics) plus his hard work made him the ultimate mass monster correct? So what he looked like natural is a mute point but thank you
@@pkway9394 I wasn't disagreeing with you. I'm more so saying that he looked great natural. So that his end result wasn't just a byproduct of "vitamins"....which is what many would say it was.
thank you for keeping the memory of our hessian markus alive. he lives and loves the sport like no other. He's still running around with 130kg + and warming his shoulders with 120kg presses. just a personable freak. Greetings from Germany
Insane freak, I admire him based on resilient genetics alone. It takes a special human to be able to survive gear abuse, chain smoking, eating fast food, and probably a whole host of other unhealthy shit lol.
Genetic Freak! The German Tank! Insane what he has accomplished in this sport. As a german you always look up to that guy and his achievements. Where ever you go into a Gym a Picture of him can't be missing. Insane guy!

Insane what he has accomplished in this sport? He literally accomplished NOTHING. Got destroyed in EVERY olympia he entered and retired a failure. lmao
For me bodybuilding is about having freaky abnormally huge muscles with symmetry and definition. And in my opinion there has never been a bodybuilder as freaky, huge, and muscular as Ruhl. Absolute legend and the people's champion.
Lee priest was another absolute freak, he just was very unlucky with his small stature, in a time where overall size reigned supreme , but pound for pound he'd have the measure of anyone, ruhl included.
@@ChrisZukowski88 that's a pretty bold assumption to say 'he'd be smaller if he was taller' having closely followed his bodybuilding career, there is more evidence to show that he would have been the biggest dude around, he was an absolute mass monster, (look up his photos from when he was a natural bodybuilder in his teens) you'll realise why he was so special and gifted genetically, barring his height. Not to mention multiple body builders at the time even commended his ridiculous physique acknowledging what a freak he was, but also how he was just unlucky due to the way the judging criteria is set up, makes it virtually impossible for someone as short as him to win.
from the age of 8, I always admired watching magazines with body builders. I am now 67 and still love it. Markus is the best of the best I've ever seen in my life. Thank you to all the body builders i saw through out my life.
@@ShubhamMishrabro I am 65. My faves are Arnold, of course. I do NOT like the current palumboism (named after Dave Palumbo). HGH gut etc. Frank Zane. I prefer taller BB's. He only stood 5'9". But what great symmetry and incredible WAIST and abs. Mike Mentzer. He tried so hard. Harder than almost anyone. Just never made it really big for long. Blame politics perhaps. He heavily influenced DoriaN yATES CARRER. tHEY BECAME BUSINESS PARTNERS. He influenced Markus Ruhl to embrace the philosophy of Objectivism. I am surprised he was an atheist since he grew up in Ephrata close to me in religious Lancaster County, PA. Most heart award. Sergio Oliva, Google photos of him. What a V shape and small waist! Casey Viator. HUUUGE arms. Not a very attractive face. Looks matter. In this contest they should not. But life is not fair. Totally under rated BBer!!
yes Arnold was my inspiration growing up, I just love watching huge muscles. The old Hercules and Sampson are still my favourite movies and makes me feel young again.
2010 he did guest posing, in Bodybuilding event in Cyprus. I was 14 years old, I've never seen anything like that. He was a giant of a man. I was young and it left me completely speechless. Ive seen plenty of bodybuilders by that time, but Ruhl was a beast of different level. Absolutely savage, unbelievable.
I dont think there has ever been a giant like Markus since then, his biceps outshines everything you've ever seen yet. Bless Cyprus, greetings from Germany
The year he won in Toronto, he had mind boggling size was probably 15% bigger and fuller than ever. It was quite shocking to see him, striations in his chest, his abs were like bricks & his shoulders we literally bigger and thicker than his head. A shame judges didn't see it and he got robbed many times, even Lavrone said that Markus was overlooked by many judges. Totally insane physique, amazing human being, love Markus.
I was at that show! He won a Harley if my memory serves me right. You're bang on about his physique, you could hear and feel people gasp when he hit his first pose. It was a sight to see, I'll never forget it.
amazing what a body hopped up on every drug known in the universe can achieve . Lee Haney looked natural and better than any of these drug fuelled monsters..
@@romanfritz3260 i did not see that show, but i can believe it, he look like a comic book character, incredible to see in person, pic dont do justice. 2001 was his year, he should have been MrO. I think even Lavrone mentioned that somewhere (i could be wring about that one).
One of my all time favorites, this man is a living CGI physique. No one else has ever come in as freaky. And also such a humble person, well liked by his competitors as well.
That's crazy. I'm 5' 9' 242.3 lbs and in the best shape of my life. Knowing that Markus is just 2 inches taller than me with almost 50 more lbs of muscle is incredible. In person he has to be a monster.
What I like about his videos are the fact that his gal 🙋♀️ are always there with him, during training, traveling and shopping. ❤️🌹Share his dream, his hard work, his training. Awesome!!!
Markus ist das Maß und Ziel.. !!! .... Eine Legende und exemplarisches Beispiel für den Traum der beste der Welt zu sein... Danke das ich meinen Söhnen davon berichten darf.... Ich neige mein Haupt und Zolle dir mein Respekt!!!
If you enjoy topics about mastery and masculinity, I invite you to explore the videos I share on the Mastery Order Channel. Challenge yourself with some concepts about manhood, explore your masculine potential to the maximum and become the kind of man you would respect and look up to. We can only better ourselves together, as men among men, so I invite you to use what I share and, of course, share your own opinions so that others can benefit from them as well. All the best to you!
His love and respect for Ronnie defines his even bigger heart! Ronnie and Markus are the two who inspire me to be a Monster while Arnold and Frank Zane inspires me in the symmetry and proportions aspect.
Marcus was never Mr Olympia. His stomach never quite matched his lats, which were uneven and he needed more hamstring. He also was notoriously not lean enough.
@XP Gamer, Bro I'm glad to see you here hope yu got me too. We often talk to eachother on Mok's stream. And one thing Markus Ruhl is my most favorite bodybuilder ever.
Markus Ruhl is a proof of plot and schemes in Mr. Olympia organization. He is far better then any champion in any champion defining factor, size, proportion etc..
By far the best video I saw from Markus!!! Man he was insane 💯🔥 Deutsche Power 🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪 Bis zum Limit und darüber hinaus 💪🏼 RUUUUUUUHHL!!!!
Mardus is a freak of nature! Anybody who lifted weight knew the name Markus. I love watching the audience's jaw drop when Markus walks out onto the stage. He always a smile in is face, because we all knows, he's the G.O.A.T.
Marcus Ruel ..ive never seen a man this big an absolute legend.. I think when they animated the incredible hulk they used Marcus as the model.. Incredible man !!
4:07 No man can make a pro heavyweight bodybuilder look small in comparison like Markus Rühl. The size difference between those two is just.... I have no words.
Er wurde nicht nur einmal beschissen bei Wettkämpfen! Er war und ist einer der größten Bodybuilder ever.Hut ab auch vor den Privatmann Markus. Von Herzen für die Zukunft alles alles Gute ❤
Can't say i envy how he looks but takes nothing away of how much i'm impressed how dedicated this man is in what he does. What an absolute Beast! Good for him
He was clearly the best and had beaten all his fellow companion body builders including King 🏅Ronnie in all poses.He should have won Mr Olympia; damn politics but Ruhl was clearly the freakiest and definately the biggest monster of all time
Body building has been about politics for years, I've seen it in women's beauty contest, and so many other events; if you don't believe it's about politics, and favorites listen to boxing, mma, or other such events they'll sit there, and brag about one fighter, or contestant until the underdog wins then they are so surprised, the problem is they make gods out of some, and all others are underlings much like government treats the public!!!
Bodybuilding contests are a freaking joke. So political. For example, I love Arnold but when he made a comeback and won Mr universe, he shouldn't have won but did so due to politics. He barely trained for the contest, drank coca Cola, etc
How many great uncrowned champions, Markus its definitely one of the greatest, sadly the politics in Olympia always hurt the sport, but no matter what nothing can change this man its a legend! Ronnie its great, but he dont deserve a few of the awards he wan. Markus, Schlierkamp, Dillet, Sonbati... All of them deserve to win at least one time, its a shame none of them never win, after years of hard work and take the bodybuilding to the next stage. But even they are uncrowned, they never be forgoten, amazing freak of the nature.
Markus had the best Shoulder Neck Part in the World and also one nof the biggest Biceps of all Time. GUNTER Schlierkamp was for 3 Years a Beast and undererstimated by the Refs. He was also tall and an Ästhetik Bodybuilder.
His Problem, that cost him the title... He's german. Look at the King next to him, looks like the little Prince behind the king. Most times in live, it is how it is, you won't get what you deserve, you get what the men in Power want you to get.
@@segka8536 You saw him next to The King? Next to Cutler? Who looked better, they or Rühl? His only weakness was his Triceps , but in this point of view, whats about Cuttlers chest, Ronnys calves...? At bis time, he was clear better than most of the top pros. Schlierkamp, the Story of him is very similar in my, and in many other opinions I guees. .. Kevin Levrone,Flex Wheeler, Paul Dillett, Lee Priest some other that where betrayed by politics. Mr. Olympia was more than one time NOT the man, that truly earned that title but....🤷🏻♂️ Thats life And Ronny Coleman was a wonder with the most beautiful body at his first wins, but at the point he comes more and more massiv, he looked not anylonger that great and that is an objectiv view i think, or not?
Yes this exactly. These people in the comments asking why he never won Mr Olympia... it's as simple as anti-german sentiment that has never subsided since WW2, and which that certain wealthy religo-ethnic minority will not allow to subside.
I don’t know the man at all but what seems to stick out well above his absolute unit of a body is his great character. I especially like his humility when he said something along the lines of: “I don’t care what place I get or if I place at all it’s just an honor to be up here with these other giants.” We all could use this mentality every day.

That's crazy. I'm 5' 9' 242.3 lbs and in the best shape of my life. Knowing that Markus is just 2 inches taller than me with almost 50 more lbs of muscle is incredible. In person he has to be a monster.
He was and he still is a monster. Greetings from Germany.
He was and he still is a monster. Greetings from Germany.
more than 50 pounds in the off season 😂💀😭
He is no monster, he is a giant gentleman.
Markus the only dude Ronnie can't dwarf lol stay safe guys
Gubther schlierkamp beat ronnie in his prime time once, not on olympia but on next show
@@lunch9113 that's fact they need to just let the best man win no matter where he's from cause they've screwed plenty of dudes stay safe
Ronnie couldn't dwarf Nasser too.
from what? the gov?
@@mitropolin3470 but he should have won it but he got 5th or some bs. Politics 100%
The gentle giant who always says what comes to his mind, always real and never backs down. Many times betrayed the title of Mr. O
-How much muscle mass do you want?
-Markus: YES
Pretty sure he said "Ja" :D
When do these kind of jokes finally stop.
@@GuineapigRampage He said "Oui". I stood next to him.
@@segka8536 what we do in this life echoes in eternity.
@@KaiMax_23 Nice calendar saying. Not completely wrong, but only a calendar saying.
What I like about his videos are the fact that his gal 🙋♀️ are always there with him, during training, traveling and shopping. ❤️🌹Share his dream, his hard work, his training. Awesome!!!
The biggest Monster of Bodybuilding
Ronnie might be the lion but Markus is a damn elephant
Did you watch the whole video, he said himself, he can't beat Ronnie cuz Ronnie is unbeatable
@@79richardson This is called understatement.
nah, he's hippotanus
@@79richardson Yes??? he said biggest, not best xD
Lol he is a beast
Markus ist das Maß und Ziel.. !!! .... Eine Legende und exemplarisches Beispiel für den Traum der beste der Welt zu sein... Danke das ich meinen Söhnen davon berichten darf.... Ich neige mein Haupt und Zolle dir mein Respekt!!!

We can only better ourselves together, as men among men, so I invite you to use what I share and, of course, share your own opinions so that others can benefit from them as well.
All the best to you!
Markus at his best was one of the greatest men's open Bodybuilders ever
Definitely one of the most intimidating looking bodybuilders. Ruhl is a legend.
His love and respect for Ronnie defines his even bigger heart! Ronnie and Markus are the two who inspire me to be a Monster while Arnold and Frank Zane inspires me in the symmetry and proportions aspect.
Next default video after this was of Hrithik Roshan exercising. Hahahahaha
@@amitkoyande Who the fuck is that? 🤣🤣🤣
every body builder has symmetry
V shape with maximal mass.
It was a travesty that Markus didn't win more. Still one of my heroes of the sport!
Politics played a role there, he often beat Jay or others on stage but got worse placements because of his origins.
and this makes professional Bodybuilding a joke
Yes bodybuilding is much political. Markus the best !!
Marcus was never Mr Olympia. His stomach never quite matched his lats, which were uneven and he needed more hamstring.
He also was notoriously not lean enough.
@@jaywhite1627 dit you see his win at Night Of Champions? The best Form ever seen from him.
@@jaywhite1627 Hahaha. Funniest comment of all time! You’re a little funny guy. And now go and shine my shoes!
0:49 Don't understand why Ruhl never won a Mr Olympia. Look at his conditioning. He easily the best on stage here.
Politics. They couldn't give the title to a german guy
because he's german
Because there is a big hole on the left side of his chest and his abs have the symmetry of a shanty town from above?
@@1349-o2m Thanks for letting us know you have zero clue how judging works
@@chumbue6537 Ok dude. They told the biggest guy on stage there, that he wasn't big enough.
He was a Widest Freak with Massive Shoulders. His All time Best Showing was 2002 The Night of Champions.
very true 👍👍👍
@XP Gamer, Bro I'm glad to see you here hope yu got me too.
We often talk to eachother on Mok's stream. And one thing Markus Ruhl is my most favorite bodybuilder ever.
Link plz 😁
@@Iamrohit_7 Yes. Not surprised to see u here 👌
@@yhgugio9561 ruclips.net/video/YlHi5xeTlDE/видео.html
My eyes was opened now, All time the king of mr. Olympia is one and only Markus Raul. 🔥
His most muscular clearly win over Ronnie's.. great video
He had him beat upper body on everything except lats. Ronnies legs are a bit wider.
MAbsolutly insane and foolish
Big respect ti Markus Ruchl for breaking the barriers and being most muscular live legend ! Support from Poland !
Incredible bicep peaks, absolutely diced, inhuman size; there is no doubt he should have won an olympia
Too bad he was against ronnie
@@haig4111he dwarfed ronnie what are you talking about its fixed anyway
@@maggoteater2290 Ronnie's backside is unmatched to this day, but from the front Markus definitely was the best in my book
Markus was cheated on for more than 10 years! He is and remains the best auf all time! ❤️
Markus Ruhl is a proof of plot and schemes in Mr. Olympia organization. He is far better then any champion in any champion defining factor, size, proportion etc..
By far the best video I saw from Markus!!!
Man he was insane 💯🔥
Deutsche Power
🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪
Bis zum Limit und darüber hinaus 💪🏼
RUUUUUUUHHL!!!!
Markus Ruhl war wirklich einer der krassesten und massivsten Bodybuilder unserer Zeit 🙂
Ruhl is a legend and inspiration for all of the bodybuilding world 💪💪 💪💪
Seid ich 1995 mit Fitness angefangen ist er mein absolutes Vorbild. Und noch immer geht er seiner Liebe dem bodybuilding nach. Geiler typ
Mardus is a freak of nature! Anybody who lifted weight knew the name Markus. I love watching the audience's jaw drop when Markus walks out onto the stage. He always a smile in is face, because we all knows, he's the G.O.A.T.
In modern Olympia, its a shame he never won. One of my absolute favorites. I'll never forget the video of him posing out of season in his living room.
Und dann diese Wahnsinnaussage' He Wasn't big enough- das macht mich heute noch wütend- unglaublich- die haben das auch noch geklaubt M R ❤
Love it when Markus suggests the poses and everyone plays along knowing he,s a beast!!! Shows the level of commeradery these guys had between them.
Marcus Ruel ..ive never seen a man this big an absolute legend..
I think when they animated the incredible hulk they used Marcus as the model..
Incredible man !!
That would be lousef ferragamo
5:05 Only guy who can beat Ronnie in most muscular pose in his prime 🔥
Ronnie has a much more appealing physique, in my opinion.
@@jamesmcauslan6758 Ronnie is GOAT undoubtedly but in most muscular crab pose I guess Ruhl is unbeatable
@@jamesmcauslan6758 Yes and it could have been better without that ginormous gut.
but he never did
@@SmethiousReborn How do u know it.. are u judge or someone?
I love the look of shock and awe from the other shoppers as Markus fills up his grocery cart!
Legend. We will never see anyone like him ever again
صح
I hope you're right.
Big Ramy
4:07 No man can make a pro heavyweight bodybuilder look small in comparison like Markus Rühl.
The size difference between those two is just.... I have no words.
Markus Rühl is the funniest bodybuilder on earth. Everybody who speaks German can tell. He's so witty, authentic, and real! :)
The biggest man. Those traps, freaking awesome. Uncrowned mr. olympia. The man who made roonie coleman look small. RUHL!!
He has the biggest shoulders and biceps
1:58 the definition of 'bicep'. He has two peaks shining in the light here. Truly legendary.
Markus ist die Definition von Blut, Schweiß und Tränen
*And a lot of roids
@@T.Durden666 so you would look the same if you would use a lot of steroids?😂😂
@@r0b1n59 of course lol
Blut, Schweiß und Trenen!
Markus ruhl is the MAN to motivate you want to get huge !!!
Er wurde nicht nur einmal beschissen bei Wettkämpfen! Er war und ist einer der größten Bodybuilder ever.Hut ab auch vor den Privatmann Markus.
Von Herzen für die Zukunft alles alles Gute ❤
Er ist halt deutscher, uns hasst man leider immer noch
Can't say i envy how he looks but takes nothing away of how much i'm impressed how dedicated this man is in what he does. What an absolute Beast! Good for him
The embodiment of a man. Not only strength but character. Top tier quality with gold for a heart.
Despite the fact that Markus wasn't chosen by the judges as Mr.Olympia everybody knows he won.
100%, he was phenomenal.
Literally nobody in bodybuilding think he ever was in the conversation for first place lmao
Best Natural Bodybuilder ever,Legend 💪🏼👊🏼
🤣🤣🤣
he's not natural, still a legend
@@nur_teno of course he's natural, look at his size
xDDD NATURAL
@samonusuke1 average quads? dafuq.
Eine deutsche Legende und ein Mann mit Herz!
He was clearly the best and had beaten all his fellow companion body builders including King 🏅Ronnie in all poses.He should have won Mr Olympia; damn politics but Ruhl was clearly the freakiest and definately the biggest monster of all time
Body building has been about politics for years, I've seen it in women's beauty contest, and so many other events; if you don't believe it's about politics, and favorites listen to boxing, mma, or other such events they'll sit there, and brag about one fighter, or contestant until the underdog wins then they are so surprised, the problem is they make gods out of some, and all others are underlings much like government treats the public!!!
Come on now, he isn't bigger than peak Ronnie or cutler
No forearm no triceps
Bodybuilding contests are a freaking joke. So political. For example, I love Arnold but when he made a comeback and won Mr universe, he shouldn't have won but did so due to politics. He barely trained for the contest, drank coca Cola, etc
@@at3955 He had great triceps. In fact, judges never complained about it at all. Just about his back.
Its called "DER" Freak in German.
After watching, i went to my bench.
I think they called him extra "Das Freak" because he was not meant to be as a human nature! ;=)
Its called "Go back to your bench kid!" Das Freak doesn't give a shit about your grammatical advice.
0:17
Hes one of my favourite natural Body Builder!
xD
What the hell is this mentality, knowing that you won't win but still giving it your fucking whole fucking self, TRUE RESPECT MARCUS!
For ever a Icon in this Sport, the uncrowned King.
5:40 its unreal how he looks next to Lee Priest
LeeLee Priest is maybe an vegan.
i actually started scrolling to see if i was the only one to be impressed by that
Its like before and after..kid to adult..yet priest placed higher lmao
@@Pantelifts10 when he beat Coleman at the Arnold Classic he almost made him quit lol
What do you expect? Lee Priest is 5’4" and 200lb.
It's soo crazy how humble this dude is!
Ronnie is the best ever, but markus f*cking destroyed him on the most muscular
How many great uncrowned champions, Markus its definitely one of the greatest, sadly the politics in Olympia always hurt the sport, but no matter what nothing can change this man its a legend!
Ronnie its great, but he dont deserve a few of the awards he wan. Markus, Schlierkamp, Dillet, Sonbati... All of them deserve to win at least one time, its a shame none of them never win, after years of hard work and take the bodybuilding to the next stage.
But even they are uncrowned, they never be forgoten, amazing freak of the nature.
I always had respect for that man !!
He was one of the many that inspired me into bodybuilding in the late 90's to about 2004
He's an icon for sure. One of the best to ever do it.
Zero repect for anyone who does this to themselves.
@@Incomudro1963 didnt ask
In my opinion the best Bodybuilder to ever live. I don’t care.
5:20 The judges actually told him he's not big enough OH come on give me a break were the judges high on cocaine or weed🤦♂️
I think they just needed to go to Specsavers lol
bodybuilding was very politic a few years ago
this man doesn't need a trophy, he watches the after footage and sees his victory with his eyes
His 2002 Night of Champions physique was beyond believe. Ruuuuuhl!!
Markus had the best Shoulder Neck Part in the World and also one nof the biggest Biceps of all Time. GUNTER Schlierkamp was for 3 Years a Beast and undererstimated by the Refs. He was also tall and an Ästhetik Bodybuilder.
5:31
*Markus went off the stage*
Ronnie: *WTF*
Até de quem não gosta de , fisiculturismo não pode negar .........O CARA É UM MONSTRO😮
His Problem, that cost him the title... He's german. Look at the King next to him, looks like the little Prince behind the king. Most times in live, it is how it is, you won't get what you deserve, you get what the men in Power want you to get.
Where do you have this "truth" from? I always saw him as muscle freak, but never as best bodybuilder.
@@segka8536 You saw him next to The King? Next to Cutler? Who looked better, they or Rühl? His only weakness was his Triceps , but in this point of view, whats about Cuttlers chest, Ronnys calves...? At bis time, he was clear better than most of the top pros. Schlierkamp, the Story of him is very similar in my, and in many other opinions I guees. ..
Kevin Levrone,Flex Wheeler, Paul Dillett, Lee Priest some other that where betrayed by politics. Mr. Olympia was more than one time NOT the man, that truly earned that title but....🤷🏻♂️ Thats life
And Ronny Coleman was a wonder with the most beautiful body at his first wins, but at the point he comes more and more massiv, he looked not anylonger that great and that is an objectiv view i think, or not?
That's why we got Biden
Big facts
Yes this exactly. These people in the comments asking why he never won Mr Olympia... it's as simple as anti-german sentiment that has never subsided since WW2, and which that certain wealthy religo-ethnic minority will not allow to subside.
He is so humble and down to earth to the core !!
he deserved so so sooo MUCH MORE!!!
Ronnie was awarded 2 underserved wins in this career.
One of my Favourite Bodybuilder. I used to keep his picture as wallpaper on my laptop to get motivation. Love from India 🇮🇳
The best bodybuilder in history in his prime. No one is even close.
Best video ever about Markus Ruhl!!
His biggest fan!!!
I don’t know the man at all but what seems to stick out well above his absolute unit of a body is his great character.
I especially like his humility when he said something along the lines of: “I don’t care what place I get or if I place at all it’s just an honor to be up here with these other giants.” We all could use this mentality every day.
THE LEGEND WILL NEVER FORGET
He deserves more in this industry.... the most largest Guy 💯
He have best shoulders ever 🔥🔥
i think Paul Dillet!
@@danielefontanella127 yes,he have also but not better then him I think?
