How would THIS Ruhl have done at the 2019 Olympia?

[MR. BMJ]

This was the 2002 Night of The Champions, and probably his best look on stage. How would he have faired at this last Olympia? He looks insane!!!

Dillett looked good too, but was at the end of his career.

Anyway...thought i'd give it discussion

Holy Christmas Tree! Ruhl would have won, Dillett in a close second.

Wow, Ruhl makes Dillet look narrow there!

 

[Dublin]

It's a bad camera angle for a fair comparison. I like the look of Dillete from waist up but Ruhl waist down.

They look they brought back in the golden age. I feel like its just not like this anymore. Dillet looked nuts!

Ruhl has always been a freak! Got to give him this one.

Dillet looks better here I think.

Two great physiques here in this photo!

Dillet had a really weak back double bi. never understood why. it's like his mid back was hollowed out. wtf happened? his back was never outstanding but relaxed his back looks decent and not terribly weak or anything.

I was disappointed with this years Olympia. I think the show was Dexters to win if he came in shape like he normally does. Roelly had a chance to win had he came in shape. Kai would have killed everyone and Hadi was just in shape but not enough to win. Curry was bulky but not shredded or in shape enough to win either compared to Olympias past winners. Ruhl definitely would have won this show easily in that shape..MM

This is not open to debate, that version of Ruhl could only have been surpassed by Coleman or Jay.

Bad mind muscle connection, shoulders full of esiclene, which made his back look even smaller. As if this were not enough, he was a horrible poser who don't spend time practicing, and always had more diuretics than necessary.

 

[Geardepot]

I agree.
Jeez, I forgot how crazy fillet looked back in the day. Ruhl always looked freaky, but it seems his shoulders, arms etc lost some definition later in his career and lost the striations. Dillet had a huge frame full of mature muscle that looked freaky for sure! How tall was Dillet? over 6' right?

Dillet looks better here I think.

Those days had the true freaks.

I always wanted to know Rahul's protocol for that show, it must have been insane.

It starts out with a pack of smokes a day lol

I forgot about that. The dude always smoked if you watch his earlier videos lol.

didn't Ruhl claim that smoking blunted his appetite which made dieting a little more tolerable? or was that just bullshit and he just liked smoking?

Rhul looks unbelievable but the lighting at that show is rivaled only by the British Grand Prix of 1999. The lighting at the Mr. O this year was plain terrible.

 

[Steroidify Rep]

This picture circulated around right after the Olympia...

Of course the proportions and lighting are a lot different, but today's top contenders look like midgets compared to those guys of yesteryear.

They are - Curry is the tallest of his lineup at an alleged 5'7".

Flex Wheeler is the shortest of his lineup at an alleged 5'9".

I say "alleged" because we all know how height and weights go in sports.
