WE talked about this on the other board....and I hate to say this because i hear he is a great guy....so let me clarify this....this is about his physique.
This is why i think he got marked down by the judges.
He has always injected his biceps, his shoulders (massively) and his lats (in various pictures you can always see bruises and bumps on his lats in lat spread and other pictures)
your sitting at a computer right now correct?
put your arm down thru your knees straightarm like you were going to do a concentration curl
see what your long stretched bicep looks like?
Take a look at Markus's in that position at .30 to .34 seconds

the first black and white picture is what a random pro bodybuilder looks like doing a concentration curl....see how his bicep elongates?
The color pictures are Markus Ruhl.
That in my opinion is the reason he gets marked down because if you start rewarding that.....where do you go after that?
