WATCH: Markus Rühl Is Bigger Than Big Ramy?

Written by Editorial Team

Ask Question?

The German Markus Rühl is an IFBB bodybuilder. Rühl began training at the age of 18 following a doctor’s recommendation after sustaining a knee injury while playing soccer. Markus Rühl finished 5th in the 2004 Mr. Olympia.

“I like being a freak. It’s a compliment when people go ‘ooh’ and ‘aah’ seeing my size.” said Rühl. Rühl was very popular with fans, if not judges, for his unabashed quest to cram as much mass as possible onto his wide, 5’10” frame. A late starter but fast riser, he didn’t begin serious workouts until he was a skinny 20-year-old, but five years later he flexed in his first pro contest.
