Markus Ruhl, shoulder workout, July 2008

[MrHardcorelifter]

its like an incline press he is usin his chest too

[jmpince]

too much roids for a normal genetic

[cichmugs]

tried the wide grip hurts my shoulders.

[scotstap552]

@FormulaVeeRacer1200 No im not saying his shoulders are weak by any means. I just thoguht for his strength to weight the presses where a little light.... awesome bodybuilder I wasnt talking down about him in any way

[scotstap552]

@BodybuilderTP he is strong... and like I said thats not the most important thing, form reps and pump are. I shoulder press 365 for reps like this.. or 140lb db's.. and I weigh 253lbs... not amazingly strong for his size is all I am saying.

[FormulaVeeRacer1200]

@scotstap552 the man with the strongest shoulders ever is not amazingly strong for his size hey?? good call savickas

[robbo90903]

at 2:10 you can see all of the steriod holes but not like taking piss coz he works hard

[TheWeinerdrizzler]

@robbo90903 thats most likely from synthol, steroids are usually injected in the butt

[Ronaldo17700]

@robbo90903 LOL that aint sign of injections, you think IFFB pros will inject where its too obvious. Its just he prob has some sort of irritation and a few measley sports nowt major.

[khav11]

how much the first plates? 10 or 25?

[TheMRamstaff]

@khav11 5 kg's

[k0nzone]

At 08:08 Markus blames himself

[ranXerox09]

This is how a REAL SPORTSMAN have to train..

I would like to know if people from other sports train this hard.

[archilonshadowheart7]

thats incline benchpress how is that your shoulders thats for chest wtf

[badboy4lyfe88]

@archilonshadowheart7 it isn´t working chest a lot, because the seat is just out of 90º it´s the next positioning on the bench (the second) he doesn´t put it strictly on 90º because that way it´s difficult to don´t hit your chin while performing this exercise and very uncomfortable

[slopeskull]

@scotstap552 he has the worlds heaviest military press. he does 600 lbs for 6 reps.

[makosization]

it´s very very steroids

[scotstap552]

@guruman2 i agree. he is massive.... not well proportioned though. no dissrespect.. awsome body builder. but size isnt every thing in a show.... i still prefer the old school look... small waist... big arms. the golden years :) haha

[scotstap552]

beastly guy. not a very heavy shoulder press for his size... i agreee, but with body building its not the weigh.... form, reps the stretch, flex and zeee pump! :)

[BodybuilderTP]

@scotstap552 Not a very heavy shoulder press? Did you see the weight he went up to? Most bodybuilders start light to warm up muscle then the get to the really heavy stuff on third, fourth set. markus could barbell shoulder press 405lb for reps if he had to.

[rctriplefresh5]

it looks like hes spotting himself in the very beginn

[khav11]

his range motion is so short hes so small im 6"7

if i could do this low range of motion ill be hittin twice my current weigh... still props thos his strenght hes a god

[jbwatson30]

Markus has the best shoulders in Body Building. I met him in Vegas. A true beast!

[supimsatan]

Yea right, his shoulders are fat...... that's a FACT

You guys are stupid and don't know anything about true bodybuilding, this markus ruhl is just a wannabee fatty...

also his scar is fake..

they should quit doing mr olympia because if fat people contest they could win.

[MarioBrosClassic]

@supimsatan rofl....troll is so blatent

[Skyezdalimt]

looks like he eats a human every meal. Damn hes huge. sometimes being that huge aint all that, he probably carnt even wipe his on arse, Damn

[blinkblinkblinkkdd]

whats that scar on his right shoulder? is it from roids or what??

[supimsatan]

i got bigger shoulders and i think he's fat.. no offence

[Glennbar93]

@supimsatan You do NOT have bigger shoulders! Haha this man is in the Olympia, and he's not fat, he's offseason. Well, right here he's preparing for a competition. I would say he's anywhere from 16-18 weeks out. You're such a noob, and in case you didn't know, a noob's comment has no value.

[supimsatan]

@Glennbar93 I think his shoulder are fat and no muscle at all, you dont know nothing about bodybuilding, moron.

[Glennbar93]

@supimsatan NO MUSCLE AT ALL? How can someone's shoulders be fat? He's in the Mr. Olympia contest, that says A LOT. THat's something you will never accomplish. You'll never even get your pro card. I"m sure of it because of your knucklehead attitude. Listen man, go get some experience and then come back. I've been in the game for years.

[T0bbby222]

@supimsatan and you are dreaming at the moment? helloo wake up!! its markus rühl, not anybody like you

[RascalFascal]

who the fuck flagged this vid as inappropriate??? what the fuck is wrong with some people???

[hotchilly1122]

why are his biceps almost just as big as his triceps?

[jfatz358]

ninja turtle lol. he doesn't have a neck

[shinshoryuken]

I like how he puts a million small plates on instead of 3 or 4 large 45 lb plates.

[guruman2]

I was trying to figure out what is actually wrong with his physique, because there is something off if you really look at it. And its his shoulders.....his shoulders are way way overpowering his arms. His shoulders make his arms look like the are 15-16 inches.

[TrueDiligence]

Also, his triceps are very small COMPARED to his freakishly massive biceps. When in reality, your triceps make up 2/3's of your arms. And, like you said, his shoulders overpower his arms.

[l1998]

but Bigger shoulders are what make u look big and wide

U compare him to a guy with shitty shoulders and big arms, well of the fucking course he is going to make him look like a peanut

[kaiserkuhn]

Can anyone explain why his grip is so wide in the Smith machine military press? I'm guessing he is just hitting another angle, rears delts more?

And laying down on the seated rows to do front laterals - never thought of that! No momentum. Great vid.

[jeanseb36]

BBBBEEEEEAAAASSSTTTT best of the planete , WHY YOU DON'T WIN ? you suppos too beat ronni and lee record (in my hear you all win your competition )

[orestiada21]

voll das tier

[cunoLein]

8:07 "Zu Viel Anabolika  spritze drin"

[HeavilyArmoR3D]

Why the hell is this shit flagged? Seriously

[bigbryanfans]

Because that is very hardcore for children.

[MrMatt5885]

because hes a german beast. might scare little ones :-)

[blackseeds666]

151 kilo O.O

[dodopodo9]

At 3:32 is the response of Markus to all those who blame him.

[adrienspawn]

That's an index finger.

[Aztexwarrior]

damn i bet those shoulders can tear apart the fabric of space and time. RUHLLLL!!

[Aztexwarrior]

yea markus your awesome the biggest nicest personal bodybuilder a great man a legend one day you will be MR,OLYMPIA

[thinkofsomethincleva]

Nah, his shoulders and arms are actually too big. He's not proportionate enough for mr. o...yet at least.

[Sanomed]

Asozial.

[Eberflame]

Is true than he is racist?

[markgoffeney]

that fag gave the finger at the end of his smith presses

wtf ? ... an actual hardman , acting the hardman

what a fag .... respect gone

[danny198500]

damn!!!!

[Crash49ers]

Mr. O is ment for big dudes. This guy is huge and one of the best out there. I would love to see him get a sandow b4 he retires!!

[stanzi0ne]

hes realy bulked up! look how soft his face is

[aaditals]

uuuuyyy ese man está hecho una bestia ese hijueputa!!!!!.....Cada vez es mas grandeeeeeeeeeeeee

[selim741]

how the hell can y ou have a six pack at 300 lbs.

[jamesmetalguitar777]

his shoulders are so wide!, does anyone know exercises that clearly widen your shoulders?

[gregisnumerouno]

its all lateral raises and isolating the medial head of the delt.

[leopoldvs]

Careful, you may sound jelause...

[blachshiip]

das studio sieht echt gut aus, ist das auch speziell für Bodybuilder ?

[gish4265451]

DAS ist sein eigenes Studio in Darmstadt

[BMOREcobra]

I did not know chickens were synonymous with being big creatures.

[GrandMasterScotty]

He uses a very strange technique for the smith machine military press...I'm not saying it hasn't worked for him (obviously), but it's very unorthodox...like a super incline, super wide-grip bench press to the face.

[philiparroyo25]

I think he said he like to eat baby's!!!!

[iguanarc]

he gets bigger by the minute

[flyinganusinthesky]

he's flippin the bird at 3:32

[FORAINTYPE]

HOw could yyou say u hate the way Ruhl trains hes doing it rithe theres no other fucking way. OFF SEASONNNNNNNNNNNN

[Inflameguitar]

damn markus is done, in this video he doesnt have that hunger for glory like n all the past videos(years)

[inmyownmind]

hate the way ruhl trains. respect tho

[rbt809]

woww he got two people spotting him

[shadowdragon888]

Looks like he's hitting he's upper pecks more then his delts!!!????

[Saitame]

ti hits both but you maybe right, it has a bit of emphasis on uper pecs.

[mixer19901]

@shadowdragon888 coz higher bench is inclined the more you move the weight to delts.. want it lower to hit top chest

[vinter500]

@shadowdragon888 ye it doesnt look like his shoulders have been trained at all....

[Sirkelsag666]

@vinter500 clearly you haven't seen Markus when he is dieted down and ready for competition. He has one of most massive shoulders of all the Mr. O competitors.

[vinter500]

@Sirkelsag666 thought people were gonna see the irony from my side. ofc i know he got the biggest and best shoulders.

[Sirkelsag666]

@vinter500 haha, nei, man kan ikke forvente noe særlig av youtube kritiserere lengre!

[tallica1988]

he does rear delts at 5.15 u fucktard and nzieb ur a moron too both of u just stfu

[nzieb]

i don't get why he goes to heavy only to have his spotter help the whole time.

[stridskuk87]

god, the man can hardly breath. somebody please think of the children

[ghostriderdb]

he's a smoker. thats why.

[flyinganusinthesky]

how can you tell ?? maybe he's getting old !

[ghostriderdb]

At some other video, you can see how he is leaving the supermarket smoking a cigarette.

[flyinganusinthesky]

yeah , yeah he does , just checked it out , sorry to have argued without information , you were right

[SteroidsR4success]

(.)Y(.)

[DailylolTube]

wtf kind of tits are those.

[ItalianWarrior777]

You train so hard, no wonder you are huge!

[RyScott85]

absolutely no rear delts.. wtf?

[haroonbaig56]

his body looks very very disgusting and bad after 60 years.if you are the fan of body building first see the latest pics of arnold.after watching those pics you will hate body building.

[jhmghm]

hey where to get that..........

[haroonbaig56]

just search in google image.write"arnold in 2008"or jusr write arnold/

[dbizzle7353]

I've never did a bb press like this. Wouldn't the chest come into play too if you didn't have the bench at 90 degrees?

Not saying he's doing it wrong because the results speak for themselves but I'm just wondering.

[kaziizak]

from his angle, i think ud hit the upper chest just a lil, but its more on the shoulders for sure.

[nzieb]

nah bro, give it a go.

[peanutboy0921]

super wide grip

[SybilianShade]

Somebody please post the name of the artist and song of this track!

[Saffers707]

Ruhl is only doing 2 heavy sets on each exercise?

[SybilianShade]

I'd say he's doing all heavy and 2 super heavy ;)

[SybilianShade]

* Height: 5'10" (1.78 m) * Off Season Weight: 320-340 lb. (145.14-154.22 kg) * Competition Weight: 275-285lb. (130.4 kg) * Arm Size: 24" (61 cm)(contest) * Leg Size: 34" (86 cm)(contest) * Chest Size: 60" (152 cm) Max Bench at 600lb. (Smith Machine)

[bigdecobruva]

[khav11]

there is something that i find special about rhul

he is only 5"10 tall..thats why he has MONStrous limbs

[Gam3e]

he's tall or short ?

[USAisgay]

average height about 178 or 5,10

[deadtree50]

imagine how much he'd weigh if he got super fat aswell :S:S

[khav11]

btw how much do they weight the small plates on the bar (10 lbs? 25 lbs

they look like 10 lbs but thats not logical

[MigiesEdition]

siick steriod guy

[bethbearmacethatguy]

damn Markus is awesome. those delts are godlike.

[leahcimrac]

He does alot of wide grip stuff doesn't he. His benches are very wide gripped too. I guess hes isolating the relevant muscle groups.

[DarkminiStoned]

this guy train way to much.

[scootyman10]

He's definitely an animal!

[mscung8907]

ronnie is da man!

[Playboy881]

massiv

[teneg]

damn that foo is BIGGGG

[NWpowerhouse85]

Geez, he looks like an idiot when he walks. I love watching these guys lift, but I would never want to look like that, even if it was attainable without drugs...

[selim741]

still a monster. awesome guy. still trains hard.

[weeeaaa]

the exercise where he lays on the bench and pulls the bar in towards his face looks intense,gonna try itat the gym tommorow

[stivikoller]

lol i did the same thing, when i saw this exercise and i must say IT rules :D

[mello203]

you stupid punks its just uprigt rows, working delts and traps, hes laying down so he can fake off a few extra reps instead of having to stand

[stivikoller]

lol whats your problem fuckhead?! I was just saying, that i like this exercise. Whats wrong with that? Lock yourself up in the bathroom and play with your lttle pole moron, but don't forget to take a magnifier with you............geez

[mello203]

shut the fuck up with this pussywhippedness in you... you psych the fuck out because of a frakin standard exercise thats like freakin out just cause someone is benchpressing u bitch s t a n d a r d !

[stivikoller]

lol wtf you can't say that this exercise is standard, just because you know it longer. HAHA standard exercises......there are no STANDARD exercises, you can train however you want to and get to your goal WITHOUT using YOUR StAnDaRd exercises.

i was just saying that i like this """standard""" exercise and than suddenly BAMM, YOUUUU PSYCHED THE FUCK OUT! Now calm down, go into the gym and burn yourself out with YOUR standard exercises.

[warriorsleftnut]

the size of these monster is amazing its wrong that he was never mr olympia!!!

markus ruhls!!!

[weeeaaa]

He should have been mr o on 2 ocassions,i think thats why he retired.People would rather see jay cutler or dexter lol

[CptX00]

I guess that today you need to have an American nationality to win olympia. If youre a "stranger" youre doomed. I bet Arnold would never have win if he wouldnt be nationalized. But of course American bodybuilder look great anyway and they deserve to win, like Ronnie or Jay...

[mazmad2k1]

fat blob

[mazmad2k1]

litle fanny get lifting

[arminfantry]

Listen all of you shut the hell up and sit down. PROTEINPOWERDYEAA! ROIDSYEAA! Lots of gooood foods yeaaaa! LOTS of weight and you to one day become part of the master race!!!! GERMAN AMERICANYEAA

[696TheDon696]

master race??? your half german that means your a faggot im 100% english look at my pic on profile when your near my size at 24 years old come back faggot

[TYKKETYKKE]

Do you know what english means? English comes from Angelish, which comes from the Angles, who were also known as Anglo-Saxons, who were descending from Germanic tribes. And the Anglo-saxons... invaded Britain, and formed England! What is now known as England, has origin in that which was once known as Germania. So in truth, if you're english, you have german blood in you, whether you wish it or not.

[daveybadboy21]

romans also did so that means were italian to? dumbass you make out they came over and fucked everyone in the country fag

[TYKKETYKKE]

The Romans did not settle in Germania, you retard. The Anglo-saxons settled in Britain.

[daveybadboy21]

no they did in england before the saxons

[TYKKETYKKE]

Get your facts right, please. The Romans may have invaded Britain, but they didn't settle there for good, okay? The Anglo-saxons did.

[daveybadboy21]

they did you dumb fuck i dont know what your schools am like in denmark i cant imagine there good like your shit hole of a country

[TYKKETYKKE]

The name "England" has origin from Angleland (which is of course, because of the Anglo-saxons). Caesar invaded Britain twice, but the Romans did not settle there for good. He went back to Gaul, to beat the Gallic tribeleaders, who had united against him. I did not learn this in school, i read it in books, mkay?

[aimen91]

yea they did.  when the romas founded london the mixed whit the native population. so they sort of never leaved england.

[TYKKETYKKE]

Truly? Do you know how many Romans we are talking about, and when this was? I do not doubt your word, I only want to know where you read/heard it.

[aimen91]

i saw it on the history channel (aprogram about england)

[696TheDon696]

FAG

[thedonpetrucci]

So by your logic, we're all African. Cause the origin of man lies in Africa.

Why can't we all just get along :-D

[TYKKETYKKE]

Yes, by logic we all descend from Africa :)

[danielclose2006]

bavarian not german, bavaria was the biggest state in old germany, it was not called germany back then it would be bavarian blood

[TYKKETYKKE]

When was this? As far as i know, it was not called Bavaria before the time of Medieval Europe.

[danielclose2006]

germania was the name of one of the oldest regions from 100AD, basically germany didnt exist it was just states like the kingdom of rhine, kingdom of bavaria. the Roman General Publius Quinctilius Varus began to invade Germania (a term used by the Romans to define a territory running roughly from the Rhine to the Ural Mountains), basically it started as two parts then late 1800 or so it united to become germany

[TYKKETYKKE]

I might be wrong though, i know very little about the history of Bavaria.

[arashonline]

dude is a beast.
