Christ, kris, MARKUS RUHL

[thedon]

bad judging, thats all i can say

[Diesel]

I think Dim should have placed better. But cormier and ruhl got what they deserved.

[SDEWITT]

Ruhl looked horrible.
Rockel and Quincy should have done better out of that list.

[Q80_MuscleHed]

yeah .. i don't know what the hell was ruhl and cormier doing during the year ? .. they were soft

[stonsen]

on markus homepage is a statement to the bad placing in the olympia.
my english is bad but i try to translate it analogous so it make sense

"dear bodybuilding-friends,

with this, im reporting straight from las vegas,
therefore only a short approaching.

how you allready know, the things at the olympia didn't worked good for me.
i arrived here last week and was full of optimism. my slug was good. at thursday my
weight was 123kg and the shape was great - relatively small cause discharge (dont know, my english translation page said that word :p) - but ripped.
what then till the uploading phase happened, is a mystery to me.
the friday evening still was positive to me and i was plumply and hard.
me and simone allready thought that i get a placing in the top 6.
then at saturday moring i was backstage and prepared myself for the competition.
i warmed me up and unfortunately i saw that i was full of water. you couldnt see any veines. my back was flat and soft. so the prejudging was extremely bad for me.
at the evening after a meal and a few liters of gatorade, at least my volume and maybe 70% of the shape from the day before was rebuild. im still helpless and dont know the reason for that.
but my view is forward arranged and at the end of november i will decide on which contest i will start next.
Thank you for your support and that you believe also further in me. trust me: i will do it!"


hm i hope my translation is a little bit understandable 4 you :) i did my best

[EneMy@fSelf]

yep, I was a big fan of Ruhl, not only for his massive size and delts but for also how he looked at things, it's just sad to see him in that condition, everyone hopes the best for him. We want the freak that'll blow everyone anyway in amazement when he steps on stage. :omg:

Thanks for the effort to translate this. I like it when these guys are realistic and realize their faults and what they need to improve. As much as it kills me to say this, Jay Cutler is generally that way as well. That is what allows you to improve.
