Looks big for sure! Drinking the brewsky before going on stage is classic

I hate the way his arms look.... always did, huge biceps and like no triceps.

And he would agree with you, he's said it in his videos numerous times. He tries and tries but his triceps don't grow.

I read somewhere he said that his delts take away from his triceps. As in, they move more weight when he does triceps than his triceps should. I guess that's a pain to bear for having such massive delts.

For being an off-season bodybuilder that is pretty much retired...Yes, I think he looks ripped for the guest posing and compared to his usual off-season shape. I should have specified.

thanks for sharing the video clip,
ruhl looks to be in great shape, ripped and hard

is it just me or is his back bigger/wider?
it be awesome to see if he makes a comeback at the AC 2009

his back is not bigger and wider, its about the same but it has really good detail and his waist is signifacantly tighter IMO so his back looks wider... he's looking phenominal.

with all the love I have for Markus, since Phil Heath Arriving I don't like anybody's arms and Markus is not the exception, however I love his whole package and the overall view, he is still impressive and love the sport, maybe still juicing, his triceps and forearms could be better. Will Markus Ruhl compete again???

Germans and their Beer!!

Always hated his physique but he actually looked good here, aside from the protruding gut.
